Before the start of the [[Human-Covenant War]] the Forerunner Dreadnought, the founding of the Prophet's religion, would soon become the place where their religion was proven false. During the [[Ages of Doubt|23rd Age of Doubt]] in [[2525]], the [[Prophet of Truth|Minister of Fortitude]], and the [[Prophet of Regret|Vice Minister of Tranquility]] went to the Dreadnought for confirmation of two symbols found on the missionary vessel ''[[Minor Transgression]]''. These two symbols were “Reclamation” and “Oracle”, which were found on what was known to [[human]]ity as [[Harvest]]. After the [[Prophet of Mercy|Philologist]] entered the data into the [[Mendicant Bias|"Oracle"]] inside of the keyship, it began a series of cryptic messages,<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''pages 274–276''</ref> listed below:

During this series of messages, the Oracle began a launch sequence, which would rip the keyship from High Charity and destroy the Covenant capital with it. Fortunately for the people of High Charity, the Dreadnought was short-circuited by Lekgolo exploring the pathways. The Oracle was soon disconnected, but this caused a spiritual crisis for Fortitude, Tranquility and the Philologist. Through the Oracle's messages, the Forerunners (or their descendants), were still alive, which would shake the foundations of the Covenant itself to the core: if the masses learned that they might be left behind, then they would revolt against the Prophets. In an attempt to keep the religion itself intact, they covered up the encounter, and would try to eradicate these [[Human|Reclaimers]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''pages 379–384''</ref>{{clear}}

Five days after leaving High Charity (infected by the [[Flood]]), the Dreadnought arrived in [[Sol system]].<ref name="bnet">[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=16989 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 01/23/09 '']</ref> While the Dreadnought was passing [[Jupiter]], [[John-117]], on board the ship, was contacted by [[Io Station]], but after going into radio silence, he killed four [[Unggoy]], a pair of [[Kig-Yar]] and then another group of four Unggoy. It is unknown what happened immediately afterward, but soon, the Spartan was found unconscious by a group of [[Jiralhanae]]. The Jiralhanae interrogated him, asking him where the [[Key of Osanalan]] was, but the Spartan managed to escape by sticking his captor with a plasma grenade.

After making his way to the Prophet of Truth's position, he reported to the UNSC that one [[Hierarchs|Prophet Hierarch]] was on board and that he would transmit more information later. Then, Spartan-117 took aim at Truth with a [[Type-51 Carbine|Carbine]] and fired. Just before the Master Chief could get a good shot at Truth, a Kig-Yar with a Carbine shot and hit the Chief.
