In [[2525]], Mendicant Bias' fragment on ''High Charity'' was "consulted" by [[Prophet of Truth|Ord Casto, the Minister of Fortitude]], and [[Prophet of Regret|Lod Mron, the Vice Minister of Tranquility]]; the pair wished to secure the large number of Forerunner artifacts on [[Harvest]] as part of their plan to usurp the reigning Hierarchs and to thus inaugurate a new [[Ages of Reclamation|Age of Reclamation]]. When the [[Prophet of Mercy|Philologist, Hod Rumnt]], entered the data into the matrix, Mendicant came back online. In a shocking revelation, Mendicant Bias revealed that the "holy relics" on Harvest were actually [[human]]s and that the [[Covenant religion|Covenant faith]] was based on an ages-old mistranslation. The glyph on the [[Luminary]] was mistaken as "reclamation", when it truly meant "[[Reclaimer]]". This had the potential to completely undermine the Covenant's unity and faith. The two ministers inducted the Philologist into their plan and brought about their political revolution to prevent this, ultimately leading to the [[Human-Covenant War]]. | In [[2525]], Mendicant Bias' fragment on ''High Charity'' was "consulted" by [[Prophet of Truth|Ord Casto, the Minister of Fortitude]], and [[Prophet of Regret|Lod Mron, the Vice Minister of Tranquility]]; the pair wished to secure the large number of Forerunner artifacts on [[Harvest]] as part of their plan to usurp the reigning Hierarchs and to thus inaugurate a new [[Ages of Reclamation|Age of Reclamation]].

To this end it attempted to leave ''High Charity'' by launching the dreadnought, an act that would have seriously damaged the Covenant capital. Mendicant Bias was foiled only by chance; it was disconnected by some [[Lekgolo]] worms that were wriggling inside the ship. The AI was more formally disconnected afterward to prevent it from commandeering the ship again. | ||
