In [[2525]], it was consulted by the [[Prophet of Truth|Prophet of Fortitude]] and the [[Prophet of Regret|Vice Minister of Tranquility]] concerning the large number of Forerunner artifacts or "Holy Relics" on [[Harvest]]. In a shocking revelation Mendicant Bias revealed that the "Holy Relics" were actually humans and that the [[Covenant]] faith was based on an age-old mistranslation. The glyph on the [[Luminary]] was mistaken as "reclamation" when it truly meant "reclaimer". This had the potential to completely undermine the Covenant's unity and faith. A political revolution ensued to prevent this and, ultimately, led to the [[Human-Covenant War]].

The AI seems to have concluded that its ancient actions against the Forerunner had been mistaken and announced to its Covenant hosts its intention to bring the "reclaimers" to the Ark. To this end it attempted to leave ''High Charity'' by launching the dreadnought, an act that would have seriously damaged ''High Charity''. Mendicant Bias was foiled only by chance; it was disconnected by some [[Lekgolo]] worms ~~(some who got roasted)~~ wriggling inside the ship. He was disconnected to prevent ~~further lift offs~~.
