Driven by her own ''[[geas]]'' from the [[Precursors]] to fix the path and set right what the Forerunners did wrong, the [[Librarian]] located the specimens left behind by two deceased Precursors while in [[Path Kethona]] searching out the origins of the [[Flood]]. Returning home with the specimens, the Librarian kept her discovery out of her report to the Ecumene Council and enlisted the help of the crew of the ''[[Audacity]]'' to transform a small [[shield world]] in its construction phase into Bastion and make it what it needed to be to nurture this eventual new species. The Librarian had the starship ''[[Eden (spaceship)|Eden]]'' built to carry the Precursor seeds and blooms to a world outside of the Milky Way galaxy that is ideal for planting and growth and where they can't be reached by the Flood. There, in some distant future, life on the planet will emerge and grow sentient, following the complete genetic code of the Precursors and rebirthing the race. However, they will be utterly free of genetic memory and will be able to build a new civilization with a clean slate. Bastion became the Librarian's secret laboratory away from the Ecumene Council and their rules and regulations containing the Librarian's most dangerous research and experiments. This included studies and experimentation on [[ancient humanity]], the [[Forerunners]] and the Precursors, ingenious observation and trials, studies with [[Living Time]], working [[Composer]]s, [[Cryptum]]s and other endless mysteries.{{Ref/Novel|Id=POL|PoL}}

In the final days of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], [[Keeper-of-Tools]], [[Birth-to-Light]], [[Dawn-over-Fields]] and [[Clearance-of-Old-Forests]] were sent to be the caretakers of Bastion, but the Flood's advancement through Forerunner space changed things and caused the Forerunners' arrival to be delayed. Knowing that their work on Bastion was too dangerous to fall into Flood hands, the four uploaded their essences into the [[Domain]] until the war was over and the way to Bastion could be achieved in secrecy and safety.

At the same time, Spark and [[Rion Forge]] managed to locate Bastion in the [[Orion complex]] after passing a test given by the [[Precept]]. Their arrival momentarily opened Bastion's shields and transmitted a signal that Keeper was able to lock onto and use to transport himself into a [[monitor]] body on Bastion which was taken care of by monitors made out of indirect imprints of Birth, Dawn and Clearance.

With the danger of the [[Guardian Custode|Guardians]] chasing him to Bastion, Keeper decided to send the shield world into a [[slipspace portal]] to an unknown location, but he first enlisted Rion and Spark's help to launch ''Eden'' to complete the Librarian's mission of ensuring the rebirth of the Precursors. Spark decided to remain behind on Bastion to act as its caretaker while Rion departed in the ''[[Ace of Spades]]''. Bastion made it through the portal without being followed and Spark initiated another jump to ensure that the shield world would be far from any Guardian's reach while he began going through the data left behind by the Librarian.{{Ref/Reuse|POL}}
