[[ | The '''Covenant storage device''', also known as the '''memory block''', is a type of data storage module used by the [[Covenant]]. One type of memory block consists of a vaguely brick-shaped chunk of a superdense material unknown to [[human]]s as of [[2552]].<ref name="kilo">'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 189'' (2003)</ref> | ||
Though humans do not fully understand the technology, they (or their [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] constructs) are still capable of retrieving the data from these devices.{{Ref/Reuse|kilo}} | |||
While being held captive by the [[Gravemind]] in [[High Charity]], [[Cortana]] used a Covenant storage device to store a message aboard the Flood-controlled {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} ''[[Indulgence of Conviction]]'' headed for [[Earth]]. Based on their cursory analysis, the [[Sangheili]] forces of the [[Fleet of Retribution]] thought the storage device held Cortana herself, but after [[John-117]] retrieved the device it turned out to only contain a recorded message.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref> | |||
