Three minutes later, it was all over. Most of the remaining Flood ships fled had been reduced to debris, but still one of Mendicants former Forerunner warships that was part of his original thousand-strong core fleet remained. Offensive Bias retrieved Mendicant Bias's [[personality construct array]] and sent it to [[Installation 00]] for research, his mission complete. However, he did not realize that on board one of the dreadnoughts, a fragment of Mendicant Bias remained. This dreadnought was eventually located by the [[San 'Shyuum]] and used both in battle during the [[Prophet-Elite War]] and later as a power source for their world ship and holy city [[High Charity]]. | Three minutes later, it was all over.
