The entire [[astroengineering|megastructure]] was built around the Mysterium and the Deadbolt. This deadbolt, was not a security measure for the Mysterium, however. It was in fact what secured access to the Domain itself. The [[Ecumene Council]]'s [[First Councilor]] was entrusted with the key to the Deadbolt, which was hidden among the formal collar that adorned their regalia alongside other keys. | ||
Well over a century after the Halos' activation, a number of Forerunners returned to Maethrillian on a [[Mission to Maethrillian|mission]] to repair the [[Domain]], which had been rendered inactive by the Halos. As former First Councilor, [[Splendid-Dust-of-Ancient-Suns]] possessed knowledge of a Precursor relic—the [[Organon]], housed deep within the Mysterium, believed to control the Domain itself—and the Deadbolt key to activate and interact with it. Upon arrival, the Organon revealed itself to be a powerful construct called [[Abaddon]] which desired to bring the Forerunners to trial for their crimes. Abaddon killed two of the Forerunners but it vanished when [[Growth-Through-Trial-of-Change]] used the key to successfully begin the process of restoring the Domain. In doing so, she vanished in a flash and was presumed deceased. | Well over a century after the Halos' activation, a number of Forerunners returned to Maethrillian on a [[Mission to Maethrillian|mission]] to repair the [[Domain]], which had been rendered inactive by the Halos.
