The intelligence recorded information into a document sometime after the [[Great Schism]], including information about several species' homeworlds and the [[Forerunner]]s' [[Technological Achievement Tiers]]. Sources for the information included the [[Halo Array]], [[Shield World]]s, [[2401 Penitent Tangent]], and [[343 Guilty Spark]], with the latter Monitor's observations "under investigation". | The intelligence recorded information into a document sometime after the [[Great Schism]], including information about several species' homeworlds and the [[Forerunner]]s' [[Technological Achievement Tiers]].

The intelligence showed a little sadness when it theorized the [[San'Shyuum]] population to be less than 1,000 after the [[Flood]] invasion of [[High Charity]], and it was happy to see at least one of the [[Builder]]s' "most humble creations", the [[Huragok]], had survived the firing of the Array. | The intelligence showed a little sadness when it theorized the [[San'Shyuum]] population to be less than 1,000 after the [[Flood]] invasion of [[High Charity]], and it was happy to see at least one of the [[Builder]]s' "most humble creations", the [[Huragok]], had survived the firing of the Array. | ||

The unknown intelligence shares a speech pattern with a [[Catalog/Archive|Catalog]] unit that awoke on [[2552#November|November 7, 2552]],<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/catalog-interaction/4c3e1c6f-6519-4ee0-83a4-4bac13bf07a3/posts?page=6#post105 ''Halo Waypoint Forums'' - Catalog Interaction, Page 6] (Archive on [https://web.archive.org/web/20150910060859/https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/forums/db05ce78845f4120b062c50816008e5d/topics/catalog-interaction/4c3e1c6f-6519-4ee0-83a4-4bac13bf07a3/posts?page=6#post105 Archive.org])</ref> which also matches up with the time-frame that the document the unknown intelligence made was last updated. This means it is possible both this intelligence, and that specific Catalog unit are the same being. | |||
