343 Guilty Spark: Difference between revisions

After Halo's destruction, Spark moved aimlessly through space, reflecting upon what had happened to both himself and his Installation. Within a few weeks of the ring's destruction, Guilty Spark was retrieved by a group of soldiers of the Covenant, to whom he was known as "the Oracle". Spark attempted to educate these soldiers about, amongst other things, the rings' true purpose. Exposed to the truth, one Sangheili in particular (Sesa 'Refumee) took a new, critical view on the [[Great Journey]] and, gathering other similarly minded [[Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]], founded a new sect that denounced the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophets]] and their Great Journey as false. These became the Heretics, who set up a base on a Forerunner [[gas mine|gas mining facility]] in [[Threshold]]'s atmosphere, where they continued to be "enlightened" by 343 Guilty Spark as to the true purpose of the Forerunner creations.

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 'Vadamee|Arbiter]] and a team of special operations troops. In the aftermath, Guilty Spark was captured by [[Tartarus]] and given to the Prophets aboard [[High Charity]].
