After the signing of the [[Writ of Union]], the Prophet of Inner Conviction—now [[Minister (title)|Minister]] of [[Ministry of Relic Safety|Relic Safety]]—met with with [[Qurlom]], the Minister of [[Ministry of Relative Reconciliation|Relative Reconciliation]], and [[GuJo'n]], the Minister of [[Ministry of Kindly Subjection|Kindly Subjection]], about a dissident movement among the Sangheili lead by Ussa 'Xellus in [[851 BCE]]. The three Ministers then received a [[Sangheili treaty commission]] within the Forerunner Dreadnought, now already resting in ''[[High Charity]]'', the latter still under construction. The Sangheili commissioners assured the San'Shyuum that Ussa and his followers would be wiped out, but Inner Conviction noted that it could simply make them martyrs.<ref name="HBC 1"/> In [[850 BCE]], the group reconvened to discuss the death of the Covenant's [[Vertikus|spy]] that was hiding among Ussa's group.

Qurlom informed him that the [[Hierarchs]] of the Covenant established a new Ministry—the [[Ministry of Anticipatory Security]]—and its Minister was R'Noh Custo. Inner Conviction believed that the new Ministry was created by the High Prophet of Excellent Redolence as a way to remove any personal or political threats from ''High Charity''.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 49-51''</ref> Mken discovered that his spouse, [[Cresanda]], was in a fertile cycle and, despite worries of Mken's former position on the Roll of Celibates, Mken succeeded in impregnating Cresanda.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 53-55''</ref> | ||
Days later, he was contacted by R'Noh Custo, the new Minister of Anticipatory Security. Custo told the Prophet of Inner Conviction that he was aware of Cresanda's pregnancy and threatened that his new ministerial role gave him the power to put Mken back on the Roll of Celibates. However, Custo offered 'Scre'ah'ben an opportunity to prevent Custo from doing so. The Minister of Anticipatory Security and the Prophet of Excellent Redolence wanted Mken to lead a team to Janjur Qom to obtain a Forerunner [[Luminary]] and a group of voluntary female [[Stoic]] San'Shyuum to return to ''High Charity'' for breeding purposes. Custo told him that in the [[grotto of the Great Transition]] on the planet, the [[Purifying Vision of the Holy Path]] would be found with the Luminary. Custo claimed that he chose Mken for the mission because of his knowledge of Janjur Qom and his past military experience.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 62-67''</ref> However, Mken was not willing to go on the mission and scheduled a meeting with the rest of the Hierarchs, hoping that the other two would persuade the High Prophet of Excellent Redolence against the mission. However, only the Prophet of Inner Conviction, Excellent Redolence, and the Minister of Anticipatory Security were present. Annoyed, Mken requested to speak with all three Hierarchs to explain why another San'Shyuum would be more fitted for the mission. However, Excellent Redolence insisted for Mken to lead the mission and threatened him with [[capital punishment|execution]] if he continued to resist. Realizing that he was violating several protocols, Excellent Redolence instead ordered the Prophet of Inner Conviction to either lead the mission or else face an "unbiased" trial that would likely place him back on the Roll of Celibates. Mken reluctantly accepted to lead the mission.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 71-75''</ref> | Days later, he was contacted by R'Noh Custo, the new Minister of Anticipatory Security.
