Sorvad was recruited by the ONI after he had collected cursory evidence of large-scale structures from early satellite surveys of colony worlds, and anomalous [[slipstream space]] signals - evidence of [[Forerunner|artificial engineering]] in the past. According to Dr. Halsey, Sorvad wanted to join because he sensed the importance of the discoveries, with the only condition that his family be relocated with him. | Sorvad was recruited by the ONI after he had collected cursory evidence of large-scale structures from early satellite surveys of colony worlds, and anomalous [[slipstream space]] signals - evidence of [[Forerunner|artificial engineering]] in the past.
