  1. FRAGMENT 5 … Catalog is NOT IMMUNE to the Flood/ Gravemind logic plague. There is peace in subjugation …
  2. (Halo:silentium; pg.215)

  4. WARNING: SELF-REPLICATING ANCILLA MACHINE CODE detected in rhythms in Catalog’s speech patterns. This data may be the information equivalent of the Flood and could affect any ancilla or monitor. Sequestered for forensic examination.

  7. How can this be? Can such sublime mentality be so distorted? And yet … So rich! So infinitely deep in meaning and broad in scope, I am overwhelmed. The Gravemind studies me, loves me so intensely it will eat me, absorb me into its very center. I twist in a spiral of laws once brilliant but now evil, cutting, carving— setting evil precedents. A shredding maze of forensic infection. No truth anywhere. All illusion! In agony. With infinite amusement, it withdraws its tendrils and my carapace is resealed. Gravemind informs me I will be delivered back to Forerunner territory, carrying a shard of itself deep in my memory. To spread fear and pain. Burn me! Extinguish my memory! I beg you! Better that Catalog never existed!
  8. (Halo:Silentium; pg.209 - 210)
