DR. [[Catherine Halsey|CATHERINE HALSEY]] , RESEARCH NOTES – [[2544]]
[[Operation: GREY VEIL]] was a success, but cost the life of [[Cal-141]], who died from head trauma sustained from a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]]. We have thus far sustained only a few [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] casualties as [[Human-Covenant War|this war]] with the [[Covenant]] approaches its second decade, but strategically each one feels akin to losing an entire world.
The [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODST]] squad that accompanied SPARTAN-141 did, however, return something fascinating. Surveying the ruins on [[Heian]], they discovered evidence of an ancient civilization with architectural designs that I can only describe as unmistakably human—a strange mixture of Greco-Roman and East Asian elements... yet even the most cursory analysis tells us that these ruins far predate those periods in our history, and they were certainly not built with simple stone to have been preserved for so long.
We came to the stars and wondered about alien life, yet these ruins force us to consider whether there might be improbable things about [[Ancestors|our own past]] that lie beyond our knowledge. Alas, no further research on Heian is possible due to the Covenant's presence, and with [[Miridem]] under attack it’s not likely that we’ll get to look any deeper into this.
