i notice that not many know the translation to truth's letter in the "conversations from the universe" book, so here it is. (it only took me some time to decode it, it's easy).
Letter from truth to mercy about regret
To thine own eyes, Prophet of Mercy.
Dearest brother,
I hope this fonds you well. My sorrow and anger procede me with regard to the atrocity and heresy at Halo. We shall avenge this destruction with some of our own. Work proceeds apace on our battle plan. The Shangheili will do what is asked of them, and the jiralhanea will show the Huragok what our strength look like at close quarters.
But this message concerns neither the planning nor the discovery of the Human homeworld. Rather I question brother Regret’s suitability for this great purpose.
I am aware of his tenacity and amuition, but I believe youth and feckless reaching may prove to be grave risk to the perfection of this undertaking. You have noted his rashness in the past, and yet neither of us has acted.
I suggest that we continue as planned, but we would both do well to pay mind to Brother Regret, and provide wisdom and guidance as needed. This is too important to be left to inexperience hands. Piety is no substitute for wisdom.
Perhaps I worry too much. You know that I embrace caution, but we cannot have inexperience or arrogance at this great juncture.
Be pure, be vigilant and never rest.
By my own hand
Prophet of Truth
