'''"Little Bit"''' is a highly reduced fragment of the custodian [[ancilla]] of the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] known as the [[Etran Harborage]]. After the destruction of his installation in [[2531]], the ancilla survived in this fragmented form amidst its debris field. He met the crew of the ''Ace of Spades'' in [[2557]] and was taken aboard the ship to fulfill the role of shipboard [[A.I.]]. | '''"Little Bit"''' is a highly reduced fragment of the custodian [[ancilla]] of the [[Forerunner]] [[shield world]] known as the [[Etran Harborage]].

On [[2531#February|February 23, 2531]], the ancilla observed the arrival of the [[Covenant]] {{Class|CPV|heavy destroyer}} ''[[Proclamation's Tithe]]'' and the {{UNSCship|Spirit of Fire}}, a modified {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}} at his installation. He observed the two [[Battle of the Etran Harborage|battle]] fought between the forces of the two vessels but was helpless to stop the [[human]]s from using a [[Shaw-Fujikawa translight engine]] to cause the [[astroengineering|artificial sun]] within the shield world to go supernova, destroying it. To avoid being completely destroyed as well, the ancilla frantically copied pieces of itself over and over again and transmitted them repeatedly to different sections of the world repeatedly as it came apart. As a result, only a small fragment of its original personality and memory remained intact. Despite being reduced as much as it was, the fragment was still able to watch the ''Spirit of Fire'' speed away from the explosion. | On [[2531#February|February 23, 2531]], the ancilla observed the arrival of the [[Covenant]] {{Class|CPV|heavy destroyer}} ''[[Proclamation's Tithe]]'' and the {{UNSCship|Spirit of Fire}}, a modified {{Class|Phoenix|colony ship}} at his installation.
