When the ship he had been serving on happened upon the Rubble, Reth received a communication from [[Peter Bonifacio]] to engage in trade.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 222''</ref> Keeping this a secret from his [[Shipmistress]], Reth took the recording to ''[[High Charity]]'', where he presented it to the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]]. Realizing they could use this to map the human population, Truth authorized Reth to begin trading Covenant weapons with the humans, promising that the Kig-Yar could keep the Rubble, which would be ideal for Kig-Yar nests.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 236''</ref> Reth then returned and offered to trade weapons modified for humans in exchange for slipspace drives. Reth intended to install the slipspace drives onto [[Kig-Yar raider]]s built at the Rubble, something Truth had denied him. Bonifacio then began selling the weapons to [[Insurrectionist]]s back in the [[Inner Colonies]], which allowed the Covenant to track them. As part of his plan for gaining control of the Rubble, Reth began bringing [[Unggoy]] to Metisette, which had methane in the atmosphere, and bred an army in a place called [[the Redoubt]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 197''</ref> The Redoubt was an Unggoy paradise with piece meal construction around a liquid methane waterfall. The institution of the [[Cole Protocol]] made taking such weapons back to the colonies a [[Death penalty|capital offense]], which hindered their use, but Reth soon began conspiring with Bonifacio to gain the stellar coordinates for [[Earth]]. | When the ship he had been serving on happened upon the Rubble, Reth received a communication from [[Peter Bonifacio]] to engage in trade.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 222''</ref> Keeping this a secret from his [[Shipmistress]], Reth took the recording to ''[[High Charity]]'', where he presented it to the [[Prophet of Truth|High Prophet of Truth]].

However, some of the modified weapons made their way back to Kig-Yar [[black market]]s in ''High Charity'', and gained the attention of the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]].
