The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

The Human-Covenant War often felt impossible to win, or at least,

would be so prolonged that as a race we would end it exhausted and broken,

retreating back to our own galaxy, cowed by the power of a greater enemy.

Instead, it proved that there was always hope, and that even enemies can

become allies.

Now the war is over and events have brought us to the Ark. Peace reigns, and

we have the time and resources to unlock some of the mysteries of the

Forerunners. We've been mired in war for so long -perhaps now mankind can

focus on development, on self-enrichment, for a change. [2/3]
