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 ''geas'' walking into the structure whilst being observed by the [[Primordial]], supposedly the last [[Precursor]]. The three then decide to move in the opposite direction. Coming across the shores of a large lake, the three stumble upon a collapsing human city, in which Gamelpar and Chakas see a [[proto-Gravemind]] locked in a Forerunner cell. | Chakas, Vinnevra, and Gamelpar then proceed to follow Vinnevra's ''geas'', which they assume will lead them to safety.

After crossing the lake, the three are found by a Lifeworker named [[Genemender Folder of Fortune]], several [[Denisovan]]s, and a [[Wikipedia:Gigantopithecus|large ape]]. Strangely, Genemender and the humans cast off no smell and the insects are not interested in them. After being fed by Genemender and sent to sleep, Chakas awakens to see Riser, who warns him not to trust the Lifeworker and the other humans. Genemender then takes Chakas to a laboratory and explains what has occurred regarding the history of the [[Flood]], the [[Halo Array]], the devastation of [[Janjur Qom]], and the battle of the Capital. Genemender also explains that the Master Builder's attack on Janjur Qom caused a small civil war to break out among the Forerunners defying the Master Builder, of which Genemender was one.

Genemender is eventually forced to reveal that he and the humans in his compound are not actually alive, but [[mind transfer|archived personalities]] manifesting as lifelike [[hard light]] [[holography|holograms]]. Genemender, who is actually based within a monitor, is under orders to salvage the humans' genetic records to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Flood and the Master Builder. The monitor wants to do this to Gamelpar, who is dying, but Gamelpar rejects him and has Chakas accompany him in his final moments. Before dying, Gamelpar has Chakas promise to watch over Vinnevra. The systems in the area 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 Chakas how he found them. During the battle over the Forerunner Capital, Riser and the Forerunners that were holding him crashed on 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, 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 hive|Flood biomass]], the group was covered in [[Flood spores]], killing the Forerunners but not Riser, who continued traveling until he stumbled upon Chakas. | Riser then tells Chakas how he found them.
