:It turned out that one of the foundations of their religion was based upon a misinterpretation of a certain Forerunner glyph. Using a device called a [[Luminary]], they had come across a planet that was apparently LITTERED with Forerunner artifacts, to a degree that they had never before encountered. They reported back to [[High Charity]] where the local Oracle (now known to be none other than a surviving fragment of [[Mendicant Bias]]) was consulted as to the significance of the finding. While this was going on, 2 or 3 high ranking San 'Shyuum plotted to use the existence of these artifacts to stage a regime change within the government, with themselves at its head. When questioned about the artifacts, Mendicant Bias explained that their interpretation of the symbol (ie: Reclamation) was wrong, & should have been read as [[Reclaimer]], pointing out that the Luminary was actually revealing the presence of the Human population of Harvest. The revelation that Humanity was meant to inherit all that the Forerunners left behind (indeed that they might, themselves, BE Forerunner) would have invalidated the very core of the Covenant religion & simultaneously destroyed the very basis of this ambitious trio of San 'Shyuum Ministers' political power. Taking advantage of the internal chaos caused by this revelation within the San 'Shyuum Hierarchy, the 3 of them successfully launched their coup, installed themselves as the High Prophets (Regret, Truth & Mercy) and waged a war of genocide against Humanity in order to keep the truth buried. - [[User:DJenser|DJenser]] ([[User talk:DJenser|talk]]) 15:19, 1 May 2013 (EDT)

:I think Regret briefly talked about it in Halo 2: ''"Most of those we encountered in our search were compelled to join our Union. To take part in moment of promise, Freedom for Allegiance, Salvation for Service! But some, like the Humans, chose to impede our progress. Block our access to sacred sites, damage Holy Relics! For their transgressions, the Humans shall be hunted until none remain alive!"'' (Regret, Halo 2) But we all know theres a different reason for the Covenant to eradicate the humans. —<span style="font-family: Eurostile;">'''[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:#000;">SPARTAN</span>]][[User talk:Spartan331|<span style="color:#888;">331</span>]]'''</span> 09:06, 2 May 2013 (EDT)
