After Halo's destruction, Guilty Spark escaped into space, reflecting upon what had happened to both himself and his Installation.

However, the [[Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)|eleventh Terminal]] of ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'' later revealed that the Monitor was quickly accepted among the Covenant, even after killing two Kig-Yar. 343 Guilty Spark was not captured but rather welcomed as an Oracle.}} Guilty Spark then proceeded to educate these soldiers about the true purpose of Forerunner creations, including the Halo rings.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''' - ''[[Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)#Terminal 11|Terminal 11]]''</ref> Exposed to the truth, Sesa 'Refumee took a new, critical view on the [[Great Journey]] and, gathering other similarly minded [[Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]], founded [[Sesa 'Refumee's heretic faction|a new sect]] that denounced the [[San'Shyuum|Prophets]] and their Great Journey as false. Setting up a base in the gas mine over Threshold, the group would soon be branded as "heretics" by the Hierarchs. Guilty Spark spent a great deal of time with 'Refumee, educating him on the true purpose of the Halo rings while 'Refumee in return shared with Spark the history of the Covenant and the [[Arbiter]]s in particular. Guilty Spark recognized that the selection of the Arbiters was a manipulation by the Prophets, eliminating potential political enemies while using them at the same time to quell rising problems in the Covenant. The two also discussed who to share the information with, but the one Sangheili 'Refumee believed could be trusted, [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee, [[Supreme Commander]] of the [[Fleet of Particular Justice]], was almost certainly dead.<ref>'''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''' - ''[[Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminals]]''</ref> | ||
Such a state of affairs could not be tolerated for long by the Covenant and soon action was taken to eliminate the Heretics. This was accomplished quickly and quietly by the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] and a team of special operations troops. Ironically, the Arbiter was Thel 'Vadamee, the very Sangheili 'Refumee believed could be trusted with Guilty Spark's revelations. The Arbiter was surprised by the appearance of an "Oracle," but rather than allow Guilty Spark to tell him the truth, 'Refumee used Guilty Spark's appearance as a distraction to attack and was killed by the Arbiter, taking with him all that he had learned from Guilty Spark. In the aftermath, Guilty Spark was captured by [[Tartarus]] and given to the Prophets aboard [[High Charity]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[The Oracle]]''</ref> | Such a state of affairs could not be tolerated for long by the Covenant and soon action was taken to eliminate the Heretics.
