SPOILER WARNING - DO NOT FLAME ME FOR YOU NOT BEING SMART ENOUGH TO READ THIS
Some people (Dun't know who) said that at the end of FS, the Prphet of High Truth order the survivors of the Unyeilding Heirophant executed, when it REALLY says From Halo First Strike without looking up, tartarus reached for its belt and the attached orb.
The Prophet flicked its claw at the container. It floated free from tartarus's grasp and hovered. The top unscrewed and 3 glittering chips of sapphire-colored crystal shimmered and threw light and shadow upon the chamber's mirrored surfaces. "This is all?" it asked.
"8 Squadrons combed the area around surrounding the Eridanus Secundus asteroid field and Tau Ceti," the Brute replied, bowingits head lower. "Many were lost in the void. This was all there was to find."
"A pity."
"It may yet be enough for our purposes . . . and one more relic from the Great Ones, as precious as they are, will soon make no difference to us. Make sure those pilots who survived are well rewarded. Then execute them. Quickly. Quietly"
The one who lost Ascendent Justice......
From Halo First Strike
"And what of the incompetent, your High One? The one who lost Ascendent Justice ?"
"Bring him before the Council. Let his fate match the magnitude of his failure."
