He landed troops in [[New Mombasa]], the only place the Covenant land on Earth. The attack on the city was a disaster, the confused Covenant were not prepared to fight such a massive human stronghold. Regret released at least one [[Scarab]] into [[Old Mombasa]], indicating that he was digging for something.

Regret's carrier suddenly initiated a [[slipspace]] jump right in the middle of New Mombasa. It is suspected that he had found the location of [[Installation 05]] on Earth, because his lone carrier jumped straight to the [[Halo]]. The move was so surprising that only the ''[[UNSC In Amber Clad]]'' was able to follow the Carrier as it jumped and destroyed the city.
Regret's carrier suddenly initiated a [[slipspace]] jump right in the middle of New Mombasa. It is suspected that he had found the location of [[Installation 05]] on Earth, because his lone carrier jumped straight to [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]]. The move was so surprising that only the ''[[UNSC In Amber Clad]]'' was able to follow the Carrier as it jumped and destroyed the city.


His Carrier landed forces on Installation 05, and the Covenant set up a presence around a Temple in the middle of a lake, where Regret began issuing sermons, perhaps in preparation to try to activate the Halo. He also transmitted an apology to Truth, apologizing for his reckless attack on Earth. Truth responded angrily, saying that it was only Mercy who had stopped Truth from publicly condemning Regret. Nevertheless, ''[[High Charity]]'' and its fleet, the [[Second Fleet of Homogenous Clarity]], rushed to [[Installation 05]] and released a fleet of [[Phantom]] dropships full of forces to save Regret from the humans who had overwhelmed Regret's own army.

His sermons were interrupted when the Chief burst in, and managed to attack and kill him. The rescue Phantoms were called back by Truth, and instead a [[Covenant Assault Carrier]] quickly destroyed the temple with an [[Energy Projector]].

Regret's body apparently survived the destruction of the temple, and it floated into the lake where it was picked up by the [[Gravemind]]. Gravemind then reanimated Regret, turning him into a "[[Prophet form]]" of the [[Flood]].

He made a final appearance in the grasp of Gravemind, where he argued with [[2401 Penitent Tangent]] about the existence of the [[Great Journey]]. It seems that Regret was conscious and retained his personality, contrary to the mindless, silent [[Combat Form]]s, suggesting that Regret was not actually infected by the Flood, and perhaps that he even survived the Master Chief's attack.
