The Minor Minister of Artifact Survey was stationed aboard the {{class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Pious Rampage]]'' by early [[2526]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS9}} Thirty-four [[cycle]]s into the [[Ninth Age of Reclamation]], the [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience]], of which ''Pious Rampage'' was the [[flagship]], [[Attack on Etalan|was]] [[glassing]] the [[human]] [[human colonies|colony]] world of [[Etalan]] which orbited the star [[Igdras system|Igdras]], designated "E'gini" and "Illa" by the [[Covenant]] respectively. Sometime prior to the sixteenth unit of the thirty-fourth cycle, the [[Fleetmaster]] [[Nizat 'Kvarosee]] decreed that all Vicars of the fleet take care to learn [[English]], the humans' most prominent language. The minor minister neglected to do so, however, and later claimed that other duties of his prevented him from dedicating sufficient time to the task. Before this point 'Kvarosee also directed his attention to the ship's [[kelguid]] and convinced him of the importance of establishing a forward operating base so that they might press the [[Massacre of the Outer Colonies|attack]] against the humans with speed.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS9}} | The Minor Minister of Artifact Survey was stationed aboard the {{class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Pious Rampage]]'' by early [[2526]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS9}} Thirty-four [[cycle]]s into the [[Ninth Age of Reclamation]], the [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience]], of which ''Pious Rampage'' was the [[flagship]], [[Attack on Etalan|was]] [[glassing]] the [[human]] [[human colonies|colony]] world of [[Etalan]] which orbited the star [[Igdras system|Igdras]], designated "E'gini" and "Illa" by the [[Covenant]] respectively.

As the eradication of Etalan dragged on, the minister became fatigued by the slow pace that was required for the planet's one hundred thousand nomadic villages to be destroyed. To speed up this process, 'Kvarosee suggested that the fleet target Etalan's enormous [[Wikipedia:Shield volcano|shield volcano]] that rested on its equator. He theorized that such an action may trigger an eruption large enough to fill the planet's skies with smoke and ash. Given that the planet's only [[spaceport]] had already been destroyed and no relief could make it to the colony, this would result in a slow, agonizing death for the remaining colonists. The minister approved of this plan and gave the order for the volcano to be [[Orbital bombardment|bombarded]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS9}} | As the eradication of Etalan dragged on, the minister became fatigued by the slow pace that was required for the planet's one hundred thousand nomadic villages to be destroyed.

After agreeing on what was to be done to Etalan, the minister and 'Kvarosee were greeted by [[Sangheili First Blade officer|First Blade]] [[Tel 'Szatulai]] of the [[Silent Shadow]], bearing an unfamiliar human device. 'Kvarosee's [[steward]], [[Tam 'Lakosee]], revealed that the device had been deliberately left for 'Szatulai's squad to find as they scouted out the colony of [[Amasa]] prior to the fleet's arrival. Stunned that the Silent Shadow would allow themselves to be discovered, the minister reprimanded 'Szatulai who went on to reveal that the device carried a message from [[General]] [[Harper Garvin]] of the [[United Rebel Front]], supposedly wanting to strike a deal with the Covenant. The minister thought that such a notion was ridiculous and that no human would help destroy their own species. 'Szatulai ensured him that the message would explain further, but it was in English, which the minister had neglected to learn. Surprised to hear this, 'Kvarosee ordered his steward to fetch a [[translation disk]] while also secretly motioning for him to take his time in returning. Before 'Lakosee returned, the fleetmaster has 'Szatulai begin the message anyway, reassuring the indignant minister that they would watch it again once he had received the translation disk. In the message, Garvin offered information about the [[United Nations Space Command]]—and more specifically, the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]]s, which had recently destroyed [[Unrelenting|two]] [[Radiant Arrow|warships]] from the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience—in exchange for peace with the Covenant and the promise that [[Insurrectionist]] worlds would not be glassed. Despite not being able to understand what Garvin's message said, the minister was able to piece together its contents by listening to 'Kvarosee and 'Szatulai. He correctly surmised that the human was trying to get the Covenant to target and kill the Spartans. 'Kvarosee ordered the First Blade to meet with the insurgents on [[Seoba]], as they had requested, and find out any information useful to them. The minister told 'Szatulai that the fate of these humans was up to him, that they should be spared until he decides that they are no longer of use.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS9}} | After agreeing on what was to be done to Etalan, the minister and 'Kvarosee were greeted by [[Sangheili First Blade officer|First Blade]] [[Tel 'Szatulai]] of the [[Silent Shadow]], bearing an unfamiliar human device.
