I was reading through all my H2 stuff when I came across a passage in "Conversations from the Universe" that was written in code. I could make out some of the words, but not enough to know what it's talking about.
It's some letter from one prophet to another, and I was hoping one of you had translated it. HELP!!!

Signatures are for little kids.

Sorry, I'd help but I can't read. But if you want to read a killer Science Fiction book try, "A Fire Upon The Deep" by Vernor Vinge. I got my GT from that book.

>>> Letter From Truth To Mercy About Regret >>>

To thine own eyes, Prophet of Mercy

Dearest Brother,

I hope this finds you well. My sorrow and anger precede 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 Sangheili will do what is
asked of them, and the Jiralhanae will show the humans what our
strength looks 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 ambition, but I believe
his youth and reckless reaching may prove to be grave
risks 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 matter is too important to be
left to inexperienced 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



People need to learn how to use Google. That took me about thirty seconds.
