Unbeknownst to Rhodes, Io Bloodstone had a secret agenda during her summit and a hidden identity: she was the Olgethorpe, leader of Thornwell's Prophets. Knowing the location of the secret vault, she was planning a con to make it appear as if products of Project De Novo still survived on Earth, by erecting a fake ancient-looking pyramid over the vault, large enough to capture someone's attention from above. The pyramid's archaeological relevance would keep the planet from being mined for ore, allowing it to remain untainted until the date of the vault's opening: March 31st, 8113 AD.

During the Burning of Garden City, Rhodes protected Io by taking her into ancient underground crypts beneath the city. They became stuck down there for several days, during which Io took Rhodes deep underground to show him the sealed vault door of the Crypt of Civilization. She but did not share her deceptive plans with him, but did tell him the vault contained a 'golden treasure'.

When Io was later arrested by the UFC for terrorism - and executed - Rhodes was emotionally shattered and lost all trust in people. Rhodes therefore remains the only living soul who has any idea what the Olgethorpe was ultimately planning to do with the secret contents of the vault, and how they were meant to steer the Prophets towards salvation. Upon his return to the opened vault later, Rhodes is drawn to the jar of honey, which appears to match the Olgethorpe's instructions.
