On the UNSC colony [[Harvest]], there is only peace and prosperity. Watched by two [[A.I.]], [[Sif]] and [[Mack]], the colony produces much of Humanity's food. This peace is interrupted when a [[Jackal]] controlled vessel, [[Minor Transgression]] discovers the planet. A Covenant [[Grunt]], [[Deacon]] [[Dadab]], is alarmed when the ship's [[Luminary]] seem to register thousands of [[Forerunner]] artifacts and an [[Oracle]], the Covenant term for a Forerunner A.I. The opportunistic Jackals plan to take some artifacts for themselves before reporting the discovery to the [[Hierarchs]], and begin surreptitiously raiding human freighters. Unfortunately for the Jackals, [[ONI]] had recently organized a strike team to counteract what they believed to be a growing [[Insurrectionist]] group, including one [[Staff Sergeant Avery J. Johnson]]. They successfully fooled Minor Transgression into boarding a freighter where they were immediately attacked by Johnson and [[Staff Sergeant Byrne]]. This raid marked the first meeting of the humans and Covenant forces, and makes the humans aware of a brand new threat they may be facing. The vessel is destroyed by Johnson, with only the Deacon Dadab and his [[Huragok|Engineer]] friend | On the UNSC colony [[Harvest]], there is only peace and prosperity.

This raid marked the first meeting of the humans and Covenant forces, and makes the humans aware of a brand new threat they may be facing. The vessel is destroyed by Johnson, with only the Deacon Dadab and his [[Huragok|Engineer]] friend ''[[Lighter Than Some]]'' escaping in a separate vessel. While the UNSC prepares the [[Colonial Militia]] for a possible alien invasion, two ambitious [[Prophets]], The [[Minister of Fortitude]] and the [[Prophet of Regret|Vice Minister of Tranquility]] learn of the large amount of "relics" found on Harvest and begin to plan a coup of the current Heirarchs using this as a fulcrum. To keep the [[Elites]] from using this discovery as a way to upset the balance of power, they utilize a Brute-controlled ship, [[Rapid Conversion]], captained by [[Maccabeus]], Brute Alpha Male, and crewed by his pack of Brutes (including a youthful [[Tartarus]]), the two began a secret attempt to seize the planet. This marks the beginning of the powerful alliance between the Brutes and the Prophets, and the key to their eventual betrayal of the Sangheili. | ||
Rapid Conversion arrives in the system to find the escape pod of Dadab and Lighter Than Some, Much to the devout Maccabeus' delight. The Brutes use the Deacon as a way to motivate their own lackluster compliment of Grunts and the Engineer to repair their intentionally crippled ship. They all soon discover the planet's vast store of reclamations and a message of peace left by [[Sif]] and [[Mack]] in the form of a crude pictogram displaying a desire for peace. The Brutes land two [[Spirit]] Dropships at a specified date, with only the desire to capture the entire planet at any cost. The attempt at peaceful contact falls apart after an errant Grunt attacks a wandering militiaman, and the one-sided [[Battle of Harvest]] begins. | Rapid Conversion arrives in the system to find the escape pod of Dadab and Lighter Than Some, Much to the devout Maccabeus' delight.
