Editing Bornstellar's ancilla

{{Status|Canon}}

A thousand years before she entered Bornstellar's service, the ancilla had worked for the [[Librarian]]. After aiding for a time, the ancilla's memory was wiped and she was turned over to a clan of [[Miner]]s. After a thousand years of service on [[Mars|Edom]], the ancilla was given to an apprentice [[Manipular]] named Bornstellar. The ancilla served with him for three years, educating him about the past and giving him access to old records. Then one day during a hike up [[Wikipedia:Olympus Mons|Olympus Mons]], the ancilla's memory wipe was undone. She revealed to Bornstellar about her past service to the Librarian and that there was a great treasure on the neighboring planet [[Earth|Erde-Tyrene]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=Cry1|Cry|1}}

With the ancilla's help, Bornstellar snuck aboard a supply craft from Edom to Erde-Tyrene, and hired [[Chakas|two]] [[Riser|guides]] to the treasure in the [[Djamonkin Crater]]. As they approached the field of [[merse]], though, Bornstellar was told he would have to discard his personal armor, as it was irritating the merse.{{Ref/Reuse|Cry1}} Bornstellar reluctantly left his armor and the ancilla behind in the boat, and was unable to retrieve it before he left the planet with the Didact. He was later given a different ancilla aboard the [[Didact's ship]], who could not make a connection with his previous one.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Cry11|Cry|11}} After the loss of that AI to [[AI suppressor]]s during the [[Battle of Janjur Qom]], Bornstellar received yet another ancilla from a yacht shared by Bornstellar's family and five other Builder clans. This one was neuter and simple and was described as a shallow parody of the ancilla supplied by the Librarian, making Bornstellar miss his old ancilla due to the simpleness of his new one.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Cry27|Cry|27}}

When Bornstellar was called to the Capital for the trial of [[Faber-of-Will-and-Might|the Master Builder]], he was unexpectedly reunited with his old ancilla, apparently retrieved from Erde-Tyrene. In between then she had been cut off from command by the Didact or Librarian, and could now serve Bornstellar without any hidden motives.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Cry32|Cry|32}} In conjunction with the Didact's growing imprint within Bornstellar, she aided in him and several other Forerunners in escaping the Capital during its attack by [[Mendicant Bias]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=Cry37|Cry|37}}

The ancilla continued to serve Bornstellar, now the IsoDidact, during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]] until she faded in a later battle, leaving him only with half-forgotten memories to recall the advance of his transformation.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Cry38|Cry|38}}

Being a [[Lifeworker]]'s ancilla, she was much more advanced than the ones a Manipular would usually receive. The ancilla was described as a small blue woman, suggesting her design may have influenced the [[geas]] by the Librarian that led to the creation of [[Cortana]].{{Ref/Level|H4|[[Reclaimer (level)|Reclaimer]]}}
