Most of the | Most of the Installation's surviving biological specimens, including humans, were saved by the Lifeworkers and relocated to the Ark.{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=348}} Mendicant Bias' core on the installation was deactivated, while the AI itself was forced to undergo a process to "correct" its rampancy.{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=356}} The Primordial was captured and placed in a cage within a chamber deep underneath the installation's surface; there, the Didact interrogated the being with an injured Chakas, before executing it.{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=359-367}} The majority of the Flood, including ten inactive [[proto-Gravemind]]s and the infected Forerunners processed by the Composer, remained on the ring, watched over by a number of remaining monitors. By order of the Didact, the Halo, now shrouded in perpetual cloud, was eventually sent through a slipspace portal to remain as a memorial, a "sacred tomb" for the millions of beings that had died there.{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=373-374}} At the same time, it was intended to be used in concert with the final, newer Halo Array if mass galactic sterilization was deemed necessary.{{Ref/Novel|Sil|Page=314}}{{Ref/Note|Though never officially stated, Installation 07's primary weapon was presumably upgraded at some point to become omnidirectional like those of the newer array rather than the unidirectional pulse it had as part of the older array. Otherwise, Installation 07 never could've acted as part of the newer array in an act of mass galactic sterilization.}} | ||
After Installation 07 was reclaimed from Mendicant Bias and the Primordial, the [[Librarian]] spent time on the ring, creating the new [[Cartographer#Installation 07|Cartographer]], setting the parameters for [[the Monument]] and giving the ancillas new purpose after so much of their original purpose had been lost.{{Ref/Reuse|PoL16}} | After Installation 07 was reclaimed from Mendicant Bias and the Primordial, the [[Librarian]] spent time on the ring, creating the new [[Cartographer#Installation 07|Cartographer]], setting the parameters for [[the Monument]] and giving the ancillas new purpose after so much of their original purpose had been lost.{{Ref/Reuse|PoL16}} |
