This leaves the exact nature of the fleet's mission uncertain, as there is no definitive proof that the Covenant were intending to attack the Human homeworld. The surviving Humans, however, believed this fleet to be a direct threat to Earth, and, using a captured Covenant [[flagship]], lured the fleet into a trap and destroyed it. | This leaves the exact nature of the fleet's mission uncertain, as there is no definitive proof that the Covenant were intending to attack the Human homeworld.

A few weeks after this defeat, the [[Prophet of Regret]] led a small Fleet of fifteen ships to Earth, supposedly in order to locate a Forerunner artifact known as the "[[Ark]]". Though hopelessly outgunned by the UNSC's new orbital defense grid of MAC guns, the Prophet of Regret's flagship managed to break through the Human defenses to [[New Mombasa]]. The Covenant ground troops quickly spread through the city, destroying both military and civilian resistance, but a counterattack by the [[Marines]] and the [[Master Chief]] drove them back. With his fleet destroyed in orbit when he landed, Regret was forced to retreat. His carrier jumped into Slipspace from within the city, damaging it severely | A few weeks after this defeat, the [[Prophet of Regret]] led a small Fleet of fifteen ships to Earth, supposedly in order to locate a Forerunner artifact known as the "[[Ark]]".

Unfortunately for Regret, four Human ships, the ''[[UNSC In Amber Clad|In Amber Clad]]'' among them, had followed them through their own Slipspace rupture to [[Delta Halo]]. With the orders "Find out why he came to Earth; why he came here," the Master Chief was hard-dropped with a complement of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] to Delta Halo's surface. Led by the Chief, the Humans forced their way through Regret's forces until they had reached the Prophet himself. At that moment, ''High Charity'', having learned of Delta Halo, arrived and launched multiple waves of [[Phantom]] dropships to aid Regret. However, they were withdrawn by the Prophet of Truth as part of the plan to remove the Sangheili from power in the Covenant. The Chief killed Regret. The Prophet of Truth then gave the order to glass the temple in which Regret was residing. It seemed as though Master Chief was eliminated. In fact the Chief narrowly avoided being glassed, only to be captured by the [[Gravemind]]. | Unfortunately for Regret, four Human ships, the ''[[UNSC In Amber Clad|In Amber Clad]]'' among them, had followed them through their own Slipspace rupture to [[Delta Halo]].
