{{Article quote|[[Supreme Commander]] [[Rho 'Barutamee]] was silent, awestruck at the trove of Forerunner relics his [[Luminary]] revealed. Though humans had been ignorant to the Forerunner's gifts hidden in the [[Beta Eridani system|Beta Eridani]] system, the [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence]] was not. Properly plied and fed with power in the philatory, the recovered artifacts had spoken to the ship's Luminary, revealing a path to...what? He did not recognize all of the glyphs before him, but some clearly indicated danger, damage, and the marks of the ancient [[Builder]]s.}}

{{Article quote|An explorer and collector, Supreme Commander Rho 'Barutamee cared little about [[Humanity]] nor knew the full significance of the [[Epsilon Eridani|star system]] to which he prepared to travel. Nevertheless, he was compelled to eliminate the remaining enemy forces in Beta Eridani, lest they follow the Fleet of Valiant Prudence to their prize.}}
