Editing Monolith Adjunct

{{Status|Canon}}
The '''Monolith Adjunct''' was one of the facilities at [[Lifeworker Central]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=EOD21|EOD|Chapter=21}}
==Overview==
The Monolith Adjunct was a two-story building that connected the two central monoliths of [[Lifeworker Central]] at their base with a tall rectangular doorway in the center. It contained a control console for Lifeworker Central and [[hard light]] generators capable of generating realistic hard light [[hologram]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|EOD21}}

==History==
During the 100,000 years following the [[Great Purification]], a jungle grew up around [[Lifeworker Central]] and the nearby [[Tudejsa]] ruins.{{Ref/Novel|Id=EOD17|EOD|Chapter=17}} The structure suffered several collapses, cutting off access to most of the consoles and Forerunner technology within. While the main console in the Monolith Adjunct was accessible, it was destroyed, beyond even the ability of a human [[smart AI]] to access the Forerunner systems.

In [[2556]], Dr. [[Genie Dawson]] and her [[UNSC]] science team from the [[Zeta Halo Project]] were sent to Lifeworker Central to study it. They were able to gain access to the Monolith Adjunct and hoped to study and catalogue the Forerunners' achievements in life sciences. Unfortunately, the scientists triggered an archiving process, resulting in their genetic patterns and consciousnesses being stored while their physical bodies were lost. The scientists were able to use [[hard light]] generators to manifest projections of themselves with likenesses so exact that it was nearly impossible to distinguish them from their biological counterparts. However, the team was limited to the Monolith Adjunct as the collapses left them cut off from many access points and Forerunner technology, including other control consoles that were still working.{{Ref/Reuse|EOD21}}

On [[2560#June|June 6, 2560]], [[John-117]], [[Joyeuse]], [[Fernando Esparza]] and [[Lucas Browning]] sought Lifeworker Central in the hopes of using the ''[[geas]]'' technology located there to remove the imprint placed in Browning's mind by the [[Harbinger]] and perhaps decode whatever was in it.{{Ref/Novel|Id=EOD16|EOD|Chapter=16}}{{Ref/Reuse|EOD17}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=EOD20|EOD|Chapter=20}} The Master Chief and Joy visited the Monolith Adjunct where they met Genie's team and discovered their true nature. However, the damage to the control console was such that not even Joy was able to access Lifeworker Central's systems from it. Instead, Genie provided the two with the location of the [[Lifeworker Archive]] as an alternative location to find the ''geas'' technology that they sought.{{Ref/Reuse|EOD21}}

By June 8, the UNSC broke through a hidden access point that revealed a network of chambers extending multiple levels beneath the ground, although it was just a fraction of the entire complex. Joy and Genie's team relocated to a sprawling lab within the newly opened facility.{{Ref/Novel|Id=EOD40|EOD|Chapter=40}}
