After locating [[Bastion]], Spark decided to leave the ''Ace of Spades'' and become the caretaker of the [[shield world]], feeling that he didn't belong in the past or present, but outside of time. As a final gift to his friends, Spark helped [[Lessa]] and [[Niko]] with their future endeavors and repaired [[Little Bit]] to be the new shipboard AI of the ''Ace of Spades''. With [[Rion Forge]] and company gone, Spark departed with Bastion to an unknown location.<ref name="POL">'''[[Halo: Point of Light]]'''</ref> | After locating [[Bastion]], Spark decided to leave the ''Ace of Spades'' and become the caretaker of the [[shield world]], feeling that he didn't belong in the past or present, but outside of time.

Preceding the Halo Array's distribution across the galaxy, Chakas was commanded by the [[Ecumene Council]] to abandon all connection with his former station. As the installation monitors were being given their new assignments aboard a Lifeworker vessel stationed over the lesser Ark, the IsoDidact met with Chakas for one final time and the two had a brief conversation before they parted ways. It was also here that the installation monitors received their final names, with Chakas being assigned the name 343 Guilty Spark by the IsoDidact. The IsoDidact asked Chakas if he would fire the rings, were it his decision; Chakas remained silent,<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 313-314''</ref> but would continue to ponder the Didact's question for the millennia to come. Over a hundred thousand years later, Spark would cite this query to [[John-117]], whom he had evidently mistaken for the IsoDidact.<ref name="twoB">'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[Two Betrayals]]''</ref> | Preceding the Halo Array's distribution across the [[Milky Way|galaxy]], Chakas was commanded by the [[Ecumene Council]] to abandon all connection with his former station.

From that point forward, Spark became the designated guardian and custodian of Installation 04.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''' - ''[[Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)#Terminal Two|Terminal 2]]''</ref> When the Array was activated, with Installation 04 being the first to fire, Spark received a signal from a nascent, previously-unknown civilization broadcasting its first transmission into deep space, and was saddened by the realization that they would be wiped out before they even had the chance to travel to the stars and make contact with other beings. At the same time, large portions of Spark's memory were automatically suppressed for the sake of compartmentalization as a precaution in the event the Flood and its ancilla-corrupting [[logic plague]] were to resurface. This caused him to forget much of his past life aside from the knowledge required in his duties as caretaker of Installation 04.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 329-330''</ref> | From that point forward, Spark became the designated guardian and custodian of Installation 04.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''' - ''[[Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)#Terminal Two|Terminal 2]]''</ref> When the Array was activated, with Installation 04 being the first to fire, Spark received a signal from a nascent, previously-unknown civilization broadcasting its first transmission into deep space, and was saddened by the realization that they would be wiped out before they even had the chance to travel to the stars and make contact with other beings.
