The book begins with an ONI science team interrogating a damaged Forerunner [[monitor]], believed to be a duplicate of a previously encountered device, questioning it about the [[Didact]] and the ancient relations between Forerunners and humans. The monitor, revealing that it was once a human named [[Chakas]], then proceeds to tell the story of its origins through a series of flashbacks. Over the course of the story, the monitor breaches [[UNSC Rubicon|the ship]]'s firewall several times, much to the team's dismay. None of the human characters in the present-day segments are identified by name and are only referred to by their titles. | The book begins with an ONI science team interrogating a damaged Forerunner [[monitor]], believed to be a duplicate of a previously encountered device, questioning it about the [[Didact]] and the ancient relations between Forerunners and humans.

At first, the monitor describes his childhood and youth as Chakas, and how he met his companion Riser.

He then recounts the events of ''Halo: Cryptum'' from Chakas' perspective and explains how the [[Librarian]]'s ''[[geas]]'' caused "old spirits", or genetically imprinted personalities of humans who fought in the [[Human-Forerunner war]]s, to surface within him and Riser. After the Didact, Bornstellar and the two humans are captured by the [[Faber|Master Builder]] at [[Janjur Qom]], Chakas is separated from the others and is put into stasis. | ||
During Mendicant Bias' [[Battle of the capital|assault on the capital]], the ship carrying Chakas is destroyed and his escape pod crash-lands on a Halo installation. He is found by a human girl named [[Vinnevra]], who has been sent to the crash site by her grandfather, [[Gamelpar]]. It is revealed that the Halo is home to humans of various kinds, who collectively refer to themselves as the [[Tudejsa|"the People"]], and have been transplanted there long ago as part of the Librarian's [[Conservation Measure|preservation efforts]]. However, the Master Builder took control of the ring and began to use the humans in his experiments on the Flood. Many humans were seen to be immune to the Flood, prompting the Master Builder to bring in more humans from Earth in order to retrieve the ancient records stored in their genetic material in hopes of finding the secret to this supposed immunity. | During Mendicant Bias' [[Battle of the capital|assault on the capital]], the ship carrying Chakas is destroyed and his escape pod crash-lands on a Halo installation.
