Editing Installation 07 (section)

==Overview==
[[File:Installation07S.png|150px|thumb|right|The symbol representing Installation 07.]]
Because of its different origin from the other six Halos in the Array, Installation 07 exhibits conspicuous differences to the other extant rings despite now being the same size. These differences are apparent in the Halo's physical infrastructure and material composition, but also subtler aspects such as the architecture and aesthetics of its structures and technology or the machine language of its distributed computer systems.{{Ref/Reuse|HitD1}}

===Astronomical features===
Shortly after completing its jump away from [[Maethrillian]], the Halo's spin slowed down and the ring began to [[Wikipedia:Precession|precess]].{{Ref/Reuse|p4}} While in the refuge system on its way to collide with the [[wolf-faced planet]], Installation 07 still maintained a day-night cycle of sorts with a noticeable axial tilt relative to the local star. The Halo rotated in a way that the local sun would first fall behind one of the edge walls lining the band,{{Ref/Novel|Id=p14|Pri|Chapter=14}} then pass behind the other side of the ring, reappearing at dawn from the top of the opposite edge wall. Dawn was preceded by the illuminated portion of the ring's terrain growing closer further up the band while the shadow receded. The orange glow of dawn would be partly reflected to some areas still in the shadow of either the other side of the ring or the edge walls.{{Ref/Reuse|p5}} At "noon", the sun would pass through the middle of the opposite side of the ring directly above the observer—termed the "sky bridge" by Chakas.{{Ref/Novel|Id=p17|Pri|Chapter=17}}

To better grasp directions on the Halo, Chakas devised his own system of terms: ''inland'' or ''inward'' for away from the nearest edge wall and ''outland'' or ''outward'' toward the opposite wall. "East", he decided, was the direction of the local "sunrise" while west was where the sun "set". Meanwhile, the [[Tudejsa]], who had acclimatized to life on the ring as opposed to Earth, used their own words to describe directions, including ''lightwise'', ''crosswise'' and ''turnwise''.{{Ref/Novel|Id=p6|Pri|Chapter=6}}

===Environmental features===
[[File:HINF BeamEmitterAbove.png|250px|thumb|Landscape on Installation 07.]]
The depth of Installation 07's ground layer before the foundation material below, at least in some areas, is approximately 800–900 meters.{{Ref/Reuse|p8}} As with the rest of the Halos, the upper layers of the plate foundation were shaped to accommodate the terrain formations that would be laid over them.{{Ref/Novel|Id=p31|Pri|Chapter=31}}

During the skirmishes surrounding the [[Fate of Maethrillian]], the terrain on the Halo was destroyed in many areas, leaving the bare foundation exposed. In addition, large gaps had been burned into the foundation itself during the battle around the Capital.{{Ref/Novel|Id=p9|Pri|Chapter=9}} Some of these damages was deemed extensive enough to remove and replace entire sections of the ring's foundational plate, with the Halo held together by its edge walls and possible field reinforcement during the operation. The replacement plates were moved from the Halo's exterior, transported over the inner portion of the ring and eventually placed in the missing sections.{{Ref/Reuse|p4}}{{Ref/Reuse|p5}} In less damaged areas, building up the foundation from within the ring's interior was sufficient for repairs. A ditch in the landscape, for example, would be closed by the foundation gradually rising from below.{{Ref/Reuse|p8}} Entire complexes of structures—some of them thousands of meters tall—had been destroyed; due to the ring's limited power, their basic [[hard light]] frameworks would continue to flicker on and off erratically, attempting to rebuild themselves.{{Ref/Reuse|p9}}
{{Clear}}

Some time after the Halo Array's activation, Installation 07 was covered in a perpetual cloud of mist. This was eventually cleared thanks to the efforts of the installation's ancillas.{{Ref/Reuse|PoL15}} Like many other Halo installations, Installation 07 featured diverse biomes across its habitable inner surface, including verdant alpine mountains, meadows, marshes, inhospitable high-altitude arctic regions,{{Ref/Novel|Id=EoD13|EoD|Chapter=13}} grasslands, jungles with extreme humidity,{{Ref/Reuse|EoD17}} swamps, lagoons,{{Ref/Novel|Id=EOD23|EoD|Chapter=23}} and deserts.{{Ref/Reuse|EOD30}}

*'''[[Tudejsa]] settlements''' - The home village of Vinnevra and Gamelpar was located near one of the ring's edge walls. It was a collection of huts situated on a flat plain of dry grass and dirt several hundred meters from the tree line. There was also an old Tudejsa city some distance inland from the village. The humans abandoned the settlement after the Forerunners began to abduct humans for experiments. The city reminded Chakas of [[Marontik]], though he noted it may have been older{{Ref/Novel|Id=p3|Pri|Chapter=3}} and more populous. The city was lined by a large wall with mud and rock ramparts designed as a defense against raiders from other cities or roving bands. A single wooden gate on the western side allowed passage inside; the entrance tunnel was approximately 20 meters long. Much like Marontik, the city was home to motley stone and mud buildings with wooden supports no more than tree stories tall and with no particular concern for aesthetics. Cobble or dirt streets and alleys crisscrossed between the buildings. By the time Chakas, Vinnevra and Gamelpar visited the city, it had been raided of any valuables long prior.{{Ref/Reuse|p6}} Likewise, the city was almost entirely devoid of life, including mosquitoes or waterborne larvae. The city's market was home to one of the [[Lifeworker beacon]]s, camouflaged by Forerunner technology.{{Ref/Novel|Id=p7|Pri|Chapter=7}} About a kilometer off the shores of the ocean crossed by Chakas and his compatriots there was a human city based on wooden platforms supported by stone pillars and only accessible via water.{{Ref/Novel|Id=p12|Pri|Chapter=12}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=p13|Pri|Chapter=13}} A network of bridges, platforms, docks and other wooden structures crisscrossed between these pillars,{{Ref/Reuse|p12}} becoming denser toward the settlement's center. The largest building had a layout the shape of a peaked pentagram and was home to a large hall with impressively intricate carvings in its [[door]]. During the skirmishes on the ring, this city was the site of a battle between hundreds of Forerunners whose corpses would remain scattered across the area; no humans—alive or dead—were present at this point. [[Vinnevra]] believed them all to have been taken away, most likely to a "[[Palace of Pain]]" for experiments given the events on the ring at the time.{{Ref/Reuse|p13}} The Forerunners had imprisoned a [[Proto-Gravemind]] in an energy cage placed inside the hall of the central building. The [[mind transfer|personality imprint]] of [[Forthencho]] suggested that this battle was fought for a prize or to keep that prize from falling into the wrong hands, possibly the Proto-Gravemind. The Forerunners appeared to have fought to the last man with none surviving.{{Ref/Reuse|p14}} In late [[2558]], as [[343 Guilty Spark]] - who had once been Chakas when he was human - [[Rion Forge]], [[Ram Chalva]] and [[Lessa]] looked out at the view of the ring from the destroyed Cartographer, Spark spotted beyond what the human eye could see the spectacular ruins of a once-great human city that was ancient even before Spark's time on the ring as Chakas.{{Ref/Novel|PoL|Chapter=13}} A ruined Tudejsa was located close to [[Lifeworker Central]].{{Ref/Reuse|EoD17}}

*'''[[Anti-gravity gondola#Installation 07|Anti-gravity gondolas]]''' - Like many other Forerunner installations, Installation 07 featured a unique type of anti-gravity gondola or "boat". Unlike many other gondolas which follow linear paths, these vehicles could traverse rather long and complicated routes, including one from Lifeworker Central to Mendicant Bias' core.{{Ref/Reuse|p25}}

*'''[[Cartographer]]''' - Installation 07's primary mapping facility was an enormous structure extruding from one of the edge walls.{{Ref/Reuse|p32}} The damage proved to be so severe that the original Cartographer was destroyed, and its function was transferred to [[The Monument|the former Mendicant Bias' core]] by the Librarian and Zeta Halo's ancillas.{{Ref/Reuse|PoL15}} This acted as more of a silent Cartographer while there was another Cartographer half a ring away and closer to the surface.{{Ref/Reuse|PoL16}} The [[Zeta Halo Project]] directed great efforts towards finding the Cartographer, but the ring wouldn't divulge its location to them. This meant that all topographical and surface data had to be collected the hard way and the substructures making up Zeta Halo were another matter entirely.{{Ref/Reuse|Gyre}}

*'''[[Conservatory (location)|Conservatory]]''' - The Conservatory is a centralized hub location that functions as the home of a Halo Ring's Monitor or adjutant executors. Within the Conservatory, the Monitor can interface directly with the Ring's network infrastructure, file reports, carry out a wide variety of restorative reconnaissance protocols, and dispatch messages to other sites.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P350}}{{Ref/Reuse|Hi}}

*'''[[Conspectus network]] hubs''' - The Conspectus network hubs are access points to the Conspectus network's data streams which record the ring's activities in event logs and status reports. There are numerous information hubs located underground and scattered throughout the ring.{{Ref/Novel|Id=rp22|RP|Chapter=22}}

*'''[[Curative spines]]''' - The curative spines contribute to the ring's structural integrity and maintain surface rigidity by connecting ring's biomes together.{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=355}}

*'''[[Flood research facility|Flood research facilities]]''' - Known to the local humans collectively as the "[[Palace of Pain]]", these facilities were the thousands of former Lifeworker biological stations converted into Flood research centers by the [[Faber|Master Builder]]. In practice, they were under the administration of [[Mendicant Bias]], working under the [[Primordial]]'s instructions.{{Ref/Reuse|p39}} One of these research facilities was an enormous square pillar leaning against one of the edge walls, its top obscured by clouds. The Primordial personally observed crowds of humans—made docile by controlling their ''geas'' via beacons—being herded into the structure by [[war sphinx]]es.{{Ref/Reuse|p8}}

*'''Genemender-Folder-of-Fortune's station''' - The [[Lifeworker]]s maintained many outposts and reserves across the ring where they monitored and tended to the local life. [[Genemender-Folder-of-Fortune]]'s station was located in what appeared to be a primitive human village, the Forerunner technology of the outpost itself hidden by a [[dazzler]] or [[baffler]].{{Ref/Reuse|p17}}{{Ref/Reuse|p19}} The huts in the village—including a central hall—were constructed of log, elevated above the ground by pillars and accessible via stairs or ladders.{{Ref/Reuse|p17}} After the crisis on the ring escalated Genemender began to scan and archive the humans' minds, occasionally allowing them to simulate physical interaction in bodies of hard light. Hard light projectors were also used to maintain the village in a superficially pristine condition; in truth, however, the buildings had dilapidated considerably and the area had overgrown with tall grass. The interior of Genemender's station had a high, round ceiling and corridors branching off from the central chamber. The station also housed the machinery used for the mind-state scans; the archived human essences were stored in cylindrical [[Durance]]s inside the station. The entire compound and the machines there were left inert after a power outage in the area.{{Ref/Reuse|p19}}

*'''[[Lifeworker Archive]]''' - Located in a lagoon, the Lifeworker Archive was a location where indexed species were housed.{{Ref/Reuse|EOD28}}

*'''[[Lifeworker beacon]]s''' - Beacons were ovoid-shaped devices found across the ring used by the Lifeworkers—or whoever controlled them—to give humans and other beings seemingly instinctive instructions through their ''geas''.{{Ref/Reuse|p19}}{{Ref/Reuse|p7}}

[[File:HINF Forbidden Temple.png|thumb|left|250px|Lifeworker Central]]
*'''[[Lifeworker Central]]''' - The nexus of Lifeworker operations on the installation, Lifeworker Central{{Ref/Reuse|p24}} was a large structure with a cavernous, dim interior built near a body of water with rocky cliffs several kilometers on the other side. Like many other locations on the ring, the hard light structures within—including walls, balconies, windows, roadways and walkways—were suffering frequent power outages and flickering uncontrollably. The Central was accessible via a rail transit system as well as anti-gravity gondolas on the waterfront, which housed a wide dock platform. After the crisis at the Capital, several of the boats at the dock had partially sunk.{{Ref/Reuse|p25}} In [[2560#June|June 2560]], it was on the stable segment of the ring{{Ref/Novel|Id=EOD16|EOD|Chapter=16}} and had become an encampment for UNSC survivors of the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=EOD18|EOD|Chapter=18}}

*'''[[The Monument]]/[[Mendicant Bias]]' core''' - The primary extension of Mendicant Bias was housed in a massive facility deep beneath Installation 07's surface, accessible via anti-gravity gondolas which traveled through an enormous, 20-30-kilometer-diameter circular opening in the ring's landscape. After passing through an undetermined void within the ring's bowels, the transit vehicles settled in an enormous chamber whose floor was a green-glowing maze of hard light paths resembling a spiderweb.{{Ref/Reuse|p25}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=p26|Pri|Chapter=26}} Mendicant Bias itself was based in a mobile structure featuring its core crystals and a large green eye, moving on legs of hard light. It was here that the humans were eventually gathered and thoroughly examined by Mendicant Bias before the final effort to cancel the ring's failsafe orbit.{{Ref/Reuse|p26}} After the installation's retake by the IsoDidact and Mendicant Bias' transfer away from the ring, the Primordial was detained in a chamber located near Mendicant Bias' former core, the [[Metarch-class ancilla|Metarch]]'s data crystals now dark and inert.{{Ref/Reuse|p39}} The Primordial was imprisoned in a hemispherical chamber 531 meters in diameter within an arena 104 meters wide, locked in a cage of intermeshed black rods housing a [[slipspace bubble|temporal manipulation mechanism]]. The cage was located on a round elevated platform in the center of the arena.{{Ref/Reuse|p40}} The core was transformed by order of the Librarian into [[the Monument]], a new home for the various essences, imprints and damaged submonitors left over from the civil war on the ring. With the destruction of Zeta Halo's Cartographer, its function was transferred to this location as a silent Cartographer.{{Ref/Reuse|PoL15}}

*'''Power stations''' - The ring was home to a number of power stations, many of which were sabotaged by the Warriors who rebelled against the Master Builder during the crisis at the Capital.{{Ref/Reuse|p29}} A dark gray conical structure 300–400 meters tall was assumed to be a power station by Chakas, who had seen similar structures on Erde-Tyrene.{{Ref/Novel|Id=p16|Pri|Chapter=16}}

*'''Rail transit system''' - A form of transport not observed on the other Halo installations, this form of conveyance consisted of high-speed cars hanging from a rail that floated in the air with no visible support.{{Ref/Novel|Id=p23|Pri|Chapter=23}} There were poles spaced at long intervals but the railing did not physically touch the pole, instead going through a wide circle on top of it. The cars were largely featureless on the inside and were capable of combining, reconfiguring and compartmentalizing their interiors to accommodate different passengers; after completing their journey Chakas and his human companions were shocked to learn that their car had been shared by [[Composer]]-processed Flood victims in a different compartment. The wagons were equipped with an [[ancilla]] who could provide refreshment—water and a nutritional paste—at the occupants' request.{{Ref/Reuse|p24}}

*'''[[Research cache 05-836]]''' - A research facility containing [[cylix]]es, including [[Flood]] [[pod infector]]. Due to a [[timelock]], time ran slightly faster than in the facility than on the rest of the ring. In December 2559, [[Outbreak at research cache 05-836|a]] [[Flood outbreak]] occurred when UNSC survivors inadvertently released a pod infector from its cylix. However, with the help of submonitor [[Adjutant Repose]], the facility was locked down and the timelock was accelerated to disintegrate the Flood.{{Ref/Reuse|SM}}

*'''[[Silent Auditorium (location)|Silent Auditorium]]''' - The Silent Auditorium is a large structure located in the segment of the installation that was shattered during the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]]. The Auditorium's central chamber collapsed immediately following the death of the [[Harbinger]] at the hands of [[John-117]],{{Ref/Reuse|Silent Auditorium}} although it was undergoing repairs by June 7.{{Ref/Novel|Id=EOD31|EOD|Chapter=31}}

===Ecology===
====Pre-Activation====
{{Quote|We feed the flies, the flies feed the bats and birds and the fish. It is [[Librarian|the Lady]]'s way.|[[Kirimt]]{{Ref/Reuse|p17}}}}
As a sanctuary of Lifeworker specimens like the rest of the Halos, Installation 07 was home to numerous transplanted species of flora and fauna from various worlds, including life native to [[Earth]]. These included bees,{{Ref/Reuse|p4}} mosquitoes,{{Ref/Reuse|p17}} rabbits,{{Ref/Reuse|p4}} bats{{Ref/Reuse|p17}} and edible scorpions larger than [[Chakas]] had seen in his home region of [[Marontik]].{{Ref/Reuse|p4}} Installation 07 had not been fully finished by the time of Chakas' journey there; when complete, it would have accommodated even more transplanted beings.{{Ref/Reuse|p31}}

Among its vast amount of different flora the ring was home to one peculiar type of enormous tree with thick thorns that made passage impossible in forests where the trees were thickly spaced. The trees' trunks were brown and green, and several meters thick. Ten or twelve meters up the thorns were supplanted by tiny branches that formed a dense canopy. Several hours before dawn, the spikes would withdraw into the trunks, allowing passage through the forest, thrusting out again at first light. A forest of these trees was traversed by Chakas, [[Vinnevra]] and [[Gamelpar]] during their journey on the ring; the trio made it out just in time before the dawn.{{Ref/Reuse|p12}}

On the other side of the forest there was a salty ocean spanning the width of the ring.{{Ref/Reuse|p12}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=p22|Pri|Chapter=22}} The sea was home to massive aquatic creatures smooth and gray in general aspect with fins and rounded, blue and purple appendages edged with lobes branching off into sets of smaller and smaller lobes. The flesh that comprised the lobes resembled milky glass full of bubble-like jewels. They initially reminded Chakas of [[merse]], another aquatic creature favored by the Librarian. These creatures observed Chakas, Vinnevra and Gamelpar for hours while they crossed the ocean in a wooden boat but did not attack.{{Ref/Reuse|p16}}

On the other side of the ocean was a dense, humid jungle{{Ref/Reuse|p17}} with terrain that gradually rose from the shoreline into a plateau and a mountain range.{{Ref/Novel|Id=p20|Pri|Chapter=20}} This area was a Lifeworker special reserve and housed [[Genemender-Folder-of-Fortune]]'s station.{{Ref/Reuse|p17}} Several hundred kilometers inland away from the mountains was a large region where terrain had been stripped away, leaving only bare foundation material for four or five thousand kilometers.{{Ref/Reuse|p20}} This damaged portion terminated in an area covered in a thick coat of inert [[Flood spore]] powder generated by [[spore peak]]s that had formed there after a localized outbreak.{{Ref/Reuse|Riser}} The region was shrouded by a perpetual storm.{{Ref/Reuse|p20}}

====Post-Activation====
[[File:HINF Zeta Halo Surface.png|thumb|250px|left|The verdant surface of Installation 07.]]
{{Quote|This place wasn't originally surrounded by jungle. But time changes things on the ring. It repairs itself, biomes shift, the soil is turned and tended....|[[Joyeuse]], on approach to [[Lifeworker Central]]{{Ref/Reuse|EoD17}}}}
After the installation was cleared of the perpetual cloud of mist that had once obscured its habitable surface,{{Ref/Reuse|PoL15}} the ring once again exhibited vibrant and diverse biomes. After the [[Battle for Zeta Halo]] and the explosion caused by Cortana's sacrifice, damaged sections of the ring exhibited reduced flora and fauna, while other sections of the ring maintained their biodiversity.{{Ref/Reuse|EOD16}}

=====Flora=====
More than thirty kilometers from [[Rdomnai Keep]] and the shattered section of floating islands, the ring's habitable inner surface remained intact.{{Ref/Reuse|EoD13}} The ecology on the immediate edge of the shattered section was similarly alpine, but bled into undulating grasslands, which gave way to a jungle environment after many more kilometers.{{Ref/Novel|Id=EoD17|EoD|Chapter=17}}

The jungle near [[Lifeworker Central]] was home to leafy, twisted vines that covered everything in a lush carpet of green, twisting over the ground and making walking difficult. Trees with massive, gnarled trunks formed an intertwining canopy so thick that it made landing in a [[D77 Pelican]] difficult, and blocked sunlight from reaching the jungle floor. Some of the tree trunks were as wide as a Pelican. Some plants in the jungle were described as primitive in appearance, rising far over the head of [[John-117]]. The jungle was also home to exotic flowers, plants with rubbery leaves, and cryptogams such as lichen and moss growing on [[Tudejsa]] ruins. Young saplings sprouted from the stone ruins.{{Ref/Reuse|EoD17}} At Lifeworker Central, the roots of bulbous trees with feathery leaves twisted around the stone ruins, some of them a meter thick.{{Ref/Novel|Id=EOD20|EoD|Chapter=20}}

Beyond the jungle, swamp-like terrain bled into lagoons near [[Lifeworker Archive]], where bioluminescent flora illuminated the landscape at night. Tall, gnarled trees with long roots rose from the waterbed as if on stilts, their roots ending beneath the water in bulbous ends to obtain nutrients.{{Ref/Reuse|EOD24}} Bioluminescent moss hung from the tree branches and bioluminescent fungi sprouted from the trees' bark.{{Ref/Reuse|EOD23}} The surface of the lagoon glowed blue and green when disrupted by ripples. When [[John-117]] stepped into the spongy terrain of the shoreline, the footprints he left behind glowed. In the Archive underneath the lagoon, a large underground lake was home to fronds of glowing green vegetation and carnivorous plants, with plump leaves that parted to catch prey.{{Ref/Reuse|EOD24}}

The sub-surface facilities along the [[Anti-gravity gondola#Installation 07|anti-gravity gondola]] from Lifeworker Central had been invaded by bioluminescent lichen, which grew along portions of its ceiling.{{Ref/Novel|Id=EOD30|EoD|Chapter=30}}

In the Lifeworker Archive, John-117 observed plants of every shape and size indexed by the Forerunners, some familiar, like tall trees with broad leaves and vibrant flowers. Others were exotic and alien, with twisted forms and fronds moving as if they were animals. He also observed ferns shaped like scrolls and bioluminescent fungi clinging to the inner surfaces of their preservation columns.{{Ref/Reuse|EOD28}}

=====Fauna=====
Installation 07 was home to a species of small, deer-like animal, [[Vanessa|a specimen of which]] was encountered by Dr. Mann and his research group in 2555.{{Ref/Reuse|HitD1}}

While flying over Zeta Halo's grasslands, the Master Chief and [[Joyeuse]] saw a diverse collection of wildlife, some of which were on full display -- deer herds and grazing bands of long-necked elk. Other wildlife stayed hidden such as small mammals, rodents, insects, reptiles and soil dwellers.{{Ref/Reuse|EOD16}}

The jungles near Lifeworker Central hosted flying insects and canopy-dwellers,{{Ref/Reuse|EoD17}} including birds{{Ref/Reuse|EOD18}} and other unseen creatures{{Ref/Novel|Id=EOD22|EoD|Chapter=22}} whose calls were audible through the foliage.

The lagoons near Lifeworker Archive hosted flying insects and microscopic
