The Seeker's mantra is: "''Seek the truth | The '''Seeker''', also known as the '''Pious Flea''', is a [[Covenant]] [[AI]] from [[I Love Bees]]. The [[AI]] started out very simple, with just a few programmed goals and the intelligence to improve itself to meet them.<ref name="trojan">[[Axon]] [[Media:trojan_horse.ogg|trojan_horse]]</ref> Unfortunately for the [[Covenant]], as the Seeker grew in complexity, it found new interpretations of these goals. | ||
The Seeker's mantra is: "''Seek the truth Behold the truth Reveal the truth That is the law and the whole of the law.''" In other words, the Seeker is a spy, programmed to reveal the truth to the [[Covenant]]. Other goals include revealing the location of hidden [[Forerunner]] artifacts and possibly damaging the [[UNSC]].<ref name="trojan" /> | |||

When the [[ | When the [[Apocalypso]] was found listening in on [[Covenant]] transmissions, the Seeker was sent to the ship as a [[wikipedia:Trojan horse (computing)|Trojan Horse]]. The Seeker infected the ship's [[AI]], [[Melissa]] and corrupted some of her functions. The ship had recently picked up a [[Deep-Space Artifact|Forerunner artifact]] that was found floating in [[Covenant]] space. The Seeker, using Melissa, convinced a crewmember to fiddle with the artifact.<ref name="trojan" /> | ||
The artifact caused a giant rip in the [[Slipstream]], causing the ship to crash within [[Luna]]r orbit. The explosion created a large burst of realspace and [[Slipspace]] signals that knocked out all [[UNSC]] communications in the system,<ref name="trojan" /> as well as attracting the attention of the Covenant. Unfortunately for them, the burst was too far away from anything of interest.<ref>[[Axon]] [[Media:be_with_me.ogg|be_with_me]]</ref> | |||
The rip also somehow sent part of Melissa back in time to the year 2004, the Seeker coming along for the ride. Melissa was so fragmented and malfunctioning that a built-in program called the [[System Peril Distributed Reflex]] was engaged to repair her. The SPDR recognized the Seeker as a harmful foreign application and attempted to kill it. The Seeker knew it could not kill the SPDR itself, so it convinced Melissa that it was an updated version of the SPDR so Melissa would disable "the old version". The Seeker did the SPDR's work in repairing Melissa and accomplishing various tasks for her, but it also corrupted her goals with its own. | |||

Melissa was so fragmented that a buried personality, from the human brain her mind was built from, broke off into another being. This child-like personality called herself the [[Sleeping Princess]] and preferred to see things as a fairy tale. The Sleeping Princess, desperate for a friend, befriended the Seeker, whom she named the Pious Flea. The Seeker, who sought the truth, would ask the Princess for information; the Princess taught it human concepts such as fear and humor. In return, the Seeker protected the Princess from Melissa, who wanted to bury her in code. When Melissa managed to imprison the Princess, the Seeker went against its nature and absorbed the Princess without killing her. Instead, it joined the Sleeping Princess' and Melissa's minds together. | Melissa was so fragmented that a buried personality, from the human brain her mind was built from, broke off into another being.
