Around 43 years before the Array's activation, the Forerunners, specifically the [[Faber|Master Builder]], deployed the first active [[Contender-class artificial intelligence]], [[Mendicant Bias]] who would be in command of one of the original twelve Halo rings, [[Installation 07]]. This installation's first assignment was a test firing at the former Precursor world of [[Charum Hakkor]]. The purpose of this assignment was to determine the effects of the Array against the Flood before it was deployed in earnest against the Flood's stronghold in the core. | Around 43 years before the Array's activation, the Forerunners, specifically the [[Faber|Master Builder]], deployed the first active [[Contender-class artificial intelligence]], [[Mendicant Bias]] who would be in command of one of the original twelve Halo rings, [[Installation 07]].

This low-powered test firing destroyed every Precursor structure on the planet, and purged the [[Charum Hakkor system]] of all neurologically complex life, including the planet [[Faun Hakkor]]. An unexpected development of this test was the emancipation of the [[Primordial]], a surviving Precursor imprisoned on Charum Hakkor's surface. When the ancient entity was brought to Installation 07 for study, at the Master Builder's orders, it entered into an extended conversation with the AI.

The Primordial told Mendicant that the Forerunners were never meant to inherit the Mantle and that they had defied the Precursors. It also told the AI that if the sentient life in the Milky Way could not defy the Flood, especially the humans, then all life would be brought together and unified into the logical, advanced form of life; a collective, conglomerated entity without conflict and pain. It claimed that the Forerunners had forced the galaxy towards perpetual stagnation by stifling growth, conflict, and progress in their misuse and illegitimate claim to the Mantle. Eventually, Mendicant Bias became convinced by these arguments, and turned rampant, seeking to "correct" the flawed, misguided ways of the Forerunners. | The Primordial told Mendicant that the Forerunners were never meant to inherit the Mantle and that they had defied the Precursors.
