He is about to be killed in celebration of the defeat of Earth before he coaxingly states that if "''The Covenant attack Earth...they will never find the key.''"

Myras is confused, but Ruwan states with certainty that he "''knows exactly what that is.''" | Before he can reveal more, he falls unconscious, leaving the Brutes confused and worried.
