From Halopedian:
Soma the Painter
Soma the Painter is a story exclusive to the re-released Volume I edition. The story show Soma, a Forerunner inhabitant of G617 g1, witnessing the Flood's return to the Milky Way since the Human-Flood War. It then cuts to the Auditor and the Prelate discussing the matter. They then send word to the Didact that the test has begun.
Wages of Sin
Wages of Sin is a story exclusive to the re-released Volume II edition. The story is the first-person narrative of the Minister of Discovery in his last moments in High Charity as it is overrun by the Flood.
In my opinion, Soma The Painter wasn't very interesting and I still don't exactly understand it but Wages of Sin was a pretty cool short story. Did you read "Cryptum"? Because Soma the Painter seems like its a tie-in to the Forerunner Trilogy
Yeah, I've read Cryptum. I thought G617 g1 was supposed to be where The Flood resurfaced from (based on the Terminals), though. Then in Soma The Painter there's Forerunners living on it and a Halo is placed near the planet. Maybe I'm just thinking about it wrong and someone can explain it to me?
