==Plot synopsis==
Having locked himself in his office during the [[Flood]] assault on ''[[High Charity]]'', the Minister of Discovery begins to write a testimony on a piece of parchment. He begins by stating that although he knows that no one will be around to read his words, he hopes that his confession will atone for the wrongs he has committed. He describes the holy city of High Charity—now being consumed by the Flood—and recounts the history of the [[Forerunner]] [[Anodyne Spirit|Dreadnought]] at its heart. He then describes how the ship's technology allowed the ancient [[Reformists]] to build their own starships, allowing them to spread their religion; he also mentions that the technology of the ship and other Forerunner relics pushed the [[San'Shyuum]] down a path of conflict, as they were quick to use their gods' "gifts" to build weapons of war. He acknowledges, however, that the creations of the San'Shyuum and their Covenant were never as powerful as the Forerunner devices they were based upon, and that some technologies—such as [[hard light]] and Forerunner alloys—they could not replicate at all. The Minister then gives his first confession - that he tried to advance the Covenant's understanding of Forerunner technology, and thus allowed them to wreak destruction upon the galaxy with their weaponry.

The Minister notes that High Charity's systems are failing, and that it is growing cold. He goes on to discuss how the Covenant abhorred the idea of [[Associated Intelligence|artificial intelligence]], forbidding the use of AIs with the exception of "lobotomized" intelligence used for [[astrogation]]. He laments this fact, as he believes that it put the Covenant at a disadvantage against the UNSC and its AIs. He also reflects on the "insanity" of the so-called Oracle, in truth, a fragment of [[Mendicant Bias]], that rested within the ship at High Charity's heart.
