UNSC Priority Transmission 00143A-23/SUBJECT DENVER

UNSC Priority Transmission 00143A-23, subject SUBJECT DENVER, was a report sent by ONI security agent Zed Rhodros to Spartan 92738-61842-LC of Fireteam Apollo sometime during or after 2558. The report was sent in response to a request from Spartan 92738-61842-LC made as part of an investigation into the origins of the Created conflict. Attached to the report was a file known as "Cluster 82-B6", which consisted of an excerpt of the interrogation of Alo Sebukah, known as Subject DENVER, by ONI agent Oberon 5 in 2553. During his interrogation, Sebukah stated that he had seen Cortana on High Charity during its fall and mused on the danger to artificial intelligences posed by the Flood.

 * Apollo,
 * You know the drill. We need to validate encryption on all your access points, before we open the terminal. Now that you have access, let's get this over with asap.
 * I'm not sure how the hell you got clearance for this data, but things must be pretty jacked up outside if they're letting some year one, S-IV detective trawl Midnight's archive for an interrogation conducted five years ago. Not sure what you think you found, but it better be good.
 * Some context is needed for this file. DENVER was acquired in a cluster of debris on an irregular orbital pattern around Coelest IV, roughly 21,494 klicks away from INSTALLATION 05. He was picked up by the corvette CORAL SEA, while on patrol before Lisbon came online.
 * When they found him, his vitals were rock bottom, close to flatlining. He'd been rationing nutrients and fluid supplies for weeks in a damaged skiff, which was functioning with minimal temperature control, and only what he could carry with him during his escape from High Charity.
 * The subject narrowly survived. Coral brought him back to the Midnight facility and he's been here ever since. I can count the number of living agents who know about him on one hand. Well, I could, before you requested access to Cluster 82-B6.
 * DENVER is real, Spartan, but I'm a little lost on the value of the specific excerpt requested. It was really a side comment and had little intel value to the interrogators at the time.
 * What was the nature of your case again, Apollo?
