 Chakas, Vinnevra, and Gamelpar then proceed to follow Vinnevra's ''geas'', which they assume will lead them to safety. However, it instead takes them near one of the "Palaces of Pain", where the group witness numerous humans following their ''gei'' walking into the structure whilst being observed by "[[The Timeless One|the Primordial]]". The three then decide to move in the opposite direction. After crossing a lake, the three stumble upon a collapsing city, in which Gamelpar and Chakas see a [[proto-Gravemind]] locked in a Forerunner cell, with the beings assimilated within pleading for death and freedom.
-After more traveling, the three are found by a Lifeworker, several [[Denisovan]]s, and a large ape the monitor identifies as a ''[[Wikipedia:Gigantopithecus|Gigantopithecus]]''. Strangely, the Lifeworker and the humans cast off no smell and the bugs are not interested in them. After being fed by the Lifeworker and sent to sleep, Chakas awakens to see Riser, who warns him not to trust the Lifeworker and the other humans. The Lifeworker then reveals that he and the other humans are not actually alive, but archived personalities manifesting as life-like [[hard light]] holograms. The Lifeworker, who is actually based within a monitor, is following a command to "archive" the minds of all of the humans from Earth to save the old spirits they carry from the Flood threat present on the installation. The monitor wants to do this to Gamelpar, who is dying, but Gamelpar rejects him and walks into the forest with Chakas, who watches him in his final moments. It is there that Gamelpar tells Chakas Vinnevra's true name and has Chakas promise to watch over her. The monitors then power down, leaving Chakas, Riser, Vinnevra, and the ape, whose name is revealed to be [[Mara]] by Riser, who can communicate with her, to continue their journey.

 Riser then tells his story to Chakas of how he found them. During the battle over the Forerunner capital, Riser and the Forerunners that were holding him crashed into Installation 07. One of the Forerunners, who was locked up by the others due to him being on the opposing side of the small civil war caused by the Master Builder's use of the Halo on the [[San 'Shyuum]] homeworld, told the others that Riser was valuable due to his ''geas'', and thus the others protected him as they moved out. After a while of traveling over a desert infested with Flood biomass, the group was covered in Flood spores, killing the Forerunners but not Riser, who continued traveling until he stumbled upon Chakas.
