By [[2552#November|November 2, 2552]], 2401 Penitent Tangent had been captured by the Flood and was held captive by the [[Gravemind]] that had manifested on Installation 05. After the battle on the ring had raged for some time, the Gravemind absorbed and reanimated the [[Prophet of Regret]], one of the [[Hierarchs]] of the [[Covenant]]. Later, [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] and [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee were also captured by the Gravemind. Upon seeing John, a [[Reclaimer]], the monitor urged the Spartan to activate the ring. This was immediately objected to by Regret, who insisted that nothing could be done until he had completed his sermon in preparation for the [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]]. The monitor countered that the installation had a firing record of 1.2 trillion simulated, and one actual thus making the ring fully prepared to fire on demand. The Hierarch then retorted that the "Oracles" were the most worthless artifacts that had been left by the Forerunners, prompting the monitor to berate Regret for his lack of regard for protocol. Amid the argument, the Gravemind insisted that the four factions represented in the meeting shared a common goal: preventing the ring from being activated. Shortly thereafter, the Gravemind used the monitor's control of Installation 05's [[teleportation grid]] to send the Spartan to ''[[High Charity]]'' and 'Vadamee to Halo's [[Control Room (Installation 05)|control room]], respectively, in an attempt to stop the activation of the Halo array.<ref name="gra"/> | By [[2552#November|November 2, 2552]], 2401 Penitent Tangent had been captured by the Flood and was held captive by the [[Gravemind]] that had manifested on Installation 05.
