At the lesser Ark, the remaining six Halos are assigned their monitor caretakers in preparation for their distribution across the galaxy, [[Installation 07]] having been deployed years prior. The IsoDidact has a brief conversation with Chakas, in which he gives him his new designation, [[343 Guilty Spark]], and assigns him to [[Installation 04]]. The IsoDidact then asks Chakas [[Two Betrayals|if he would fire the rings, were it his choice]], but receives no response. | At the lesser Ark, the remaining six Halos are assigned their monitor caretakers in preparation for their distribution across the galaxy, [[Installation 07]] having been deployed years prior.

Requiem's defenses also view her as a friendly and let her in. The Librarian finds [[Endurance-of-Will]], a Promethean and former lover of the Ur-Didact. Endurance reveals that the Ur-Didact is using the essences of the composed humans and Prometheans to create mechanical [[Promethean Knight]]s, with which he plans to defeat the Flood and eradicate all species who might challenge the Forerunners in the future. Despite resenting her for being chosen by the Ur-Didact instead of her, Endurance is eventually convinced to help the Librarian take down the Ur-Didact and seal him in a Cryptum. Once done, the Librarian tasks Endurance to watch over the Didact for as long as she can. As she leaves Requiem for Earth, the Librarian is confronted by a large group of Knights, which she takes command of, and wonders if Endurance chose to become one herself. | ||
The Librarian then draws the Flood towards Earth to allow the IsoDidact to fire the seven Halo rings. She sends Chant-to-Green off to the lesser Ark with the planet's remaining humans and passes her title of Lifeshaper on to Chant while remaining on Earth herself. During her last days on Earth, the Gravemind sends down ancient human essences, including the Lord of Admirals, to reveal that the Domain was created by the Precursors as the collection of wisdom from over 100 billion years of knowledge and that it was ingrained in Precursor architecture for safekeeping. In short, the Domain is the mythical [[Organon]]. Sadly, the Librarian realizes that the Halos will destroy all of this, and that without the Domain, the Ur-Didact will spend the eons to come in complete silence, dwelling on his own madness and rage. As she watches the [[Portal at Voi|Portal]]'s construction, she sincerely hopes humanity will one day inherit the Mantle. | The Librarian then draws the Flood towards Earth to allow the IsoDidact to fire the seven Halo rings.
