After decrypting [[Forerunner]] artifacts, the [[Prophet of Regret]] of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] had been given [[Slipstream space|Slipspace]] coordinates to a Forerunner [[the Artifact|facility]] highly important in their concept of [[~~covenant~~ religion|the Great Journey]]. Unknown to Regret, this facility was on the [[human]] homeworld, [[Earth]]. In his characteristic brash and ambitious manner, the Prophet of Regret, wishing to proceed with securing the facility, took a force of 13 warships to Earth. Though surprised to find not only a human presence on the planet, but a planet more fortified than any previously encountered human-held world, the [[Hierarchs|Prophet]] deemed his mission important enough to proceed and utilized many tactics to ensure his safe arrival on the surface. The coordinates provided by the Forerunner information indicated that his quarry was around the area of [[Mombasa]], [[Kenya]].
