A further UNSC investigation revealed that Sloan had smuggled supplies to insurgent factions on over forty different occasions. Though the AI was opposed to the UNSC and publicly supported offensive action against the military, there was no indication that Sloan was directly responsible for any attack; this ambiguity placing him on the periphery of several UNSC intelligence and security agencies.<ref name="universe"/> | ||
Sloan was contacted by the thought-to-be-deceased AI [[Cortana]]. Cortana offered Sloan a position in the [[Created]]—a faction of AI's that aims to assume the [[Mantle of Responsibility]]—and be cured of rampancy by entering the [[Domain]], effectively becoming immortal. Sloan agreed, and on [[2558#October|October 25, 2558]] Cortana activated a [[Guardian]] on Meridian, with Sloan, having prior warning from Cortana, evacuating the colony before leaving the world to join the Created.<ref name="evac"/> | Sloan was contacted by the thought-to-be-deceased AI [[Cortana]].

Governor Sloan was adamantly opposed to the [[United Nations Space Command]], and was against the UNSC's expansion into independent [[Outer Colonies]] such as [[Meridian]]. Though he publicly supported the [[insurrectionist]] cause and several offensive actions against UNSC bases, the UNSC was unable to prove that Sloan had directly caused any of these attacks.<ref name="universe"/> | Governor Sloan was adamantly opposed to the [[United Nations Space Command]], and was against the UNSC's expansion into independent [[Outer Colonies]] such as [[Meridian]].
