The '''Seeker''', also known as the '''Pious Flea''', is a [[Covenant]] [[AI]] from [[I Love Bees]]. The AI started out very simple, with just a few programmed goals and the intelligence to improve itself to meet them.<ref name="trojan">[[Axon]] [[Media:trojan_horse.ogg|trojan_horse]]</ref> Unfortunately for the Covenant, as the Seeker grew in complexity, it found new interpretations of these goals. | The '''Seeker''', also known as the '''Pious Flea''', is a [[Covenant]] [[AI]] from [[I Love Bees]].

The Seeker's mantra is: "''Seek the truth Behold the truth Reveal the truth That is the law and the whole of the law.''" In other words, the Seeker is a spy, programmed to reveal the truth to the Covenant. Other goals include revealing the location of hidden [[Forerunner]] artifacts and possibly damaging the [[UNSC]].<ref name="trojan" /> | The Seeker's mantra is: "''Seek the truth Behold the truth Reveal the truth That is the law and the whole of the law.''"

When the [[Apocalypso]] was found listening in on Covenant transmissions, the Seeker was sent to the ship as a [[wikipedia:Trojan horse (computing)|Trojan Horse]]. The Seeker infected the ship's AI, [[Melissa]] and corrupted some of her functions. The ship had recently picked up a [[Deep-Space Artifact|Forerunner artifact]] that was found floating in Covenant space. The Seeker, using Melissa, convinced a crewmember to fiddle with the artifact.<ref name="trojan" /> | When the [[Apocalypso]] was found listening in on [[Covenant]] transmissions, the Seeker was sent to the ship as a [[wikipedia:Trojan horse (computing)|Trojan Horse]].

The artifact caused a giant rip in the [[Slipstream]], causing the ship to crash within [[Luna]]r orbit. The explosion created a large burst of realspace and Slipspace signals that knocked out all UNSC communications in the system,<ref name="trojan" /> as well as attracting the attention of the Covenant. Unfortunately for them, the burst was too far away from anything of interest.<ref>[[Axon]] [[Media:be_with_me.ogg|be_with_me]]</ref> | The artifact caused a giant rip in the [[Slipstream]], causing the ship to crash within [[Luna]]r orbit.

The rip also somehow sent part of Melissa back in time to the year 2004, the Seeker coming along for the ride. Melissa was so fragmented and malfunctioning that a built-in program called the [[System Peril Distributed Reflex]] was engaged to repair her. The SPDR recognized the Seeker as a harmful foreign application and attempted to kill it. The Seeker knew it could not kill the SPDR itself, so it convinced Melissa that it was an updated version of the SPDR so Melissa would disable "the old version". The Seeker did the SPDR's work in repairing Melissa and accomplishing various tasks for her, but it also corrupted her goals with its own. | The rip also somehow sent part of Melissa back in time to the year 2004, the Seeker coming along for the ride.
