 * The will and resilience of life never ceases to amaze me. Infinite permutations of
 * bacteria, animals, and plants all exist as a direct result of the endless struggle
 * and adaptation against a hostile universe. This installation, light years from the
 * galactic center, is a paragon of that fact. When we first arrived here, the Ark
 * had suffered great wounds from our war against the Covenant, and so we
 * activated dormant retriever sentinels and deployed them to strip-mine lifeless
 * planets for the materials needed to repair the installation. Like watching a
 * sleeping giant nudged into wakefulness, the reconstruction slowly reached full
 * automation until we were no longer needed to guide the sentinels and could
 * simply sit back and record the wonder of a world being reborn. [1/3]
