Originally uninhabited, Eridanus II was settled as a part of the [[Reach for Life project]]. The [[Reach for Life installation]] on Eridanus II was one of only six to survive its pilot stage, becoming a fertile forest built into an otherwise hostile planet. It was where [[John-117/Silver|John-117]] was born and lived for the first several years of his life, at one point discovering a [[Forerunner]] [[keystone]] in a cavern near his home. His parents were the leaders of the Eridanus II colony.{{Ref/Film|Id=Emergence|TV|Episode=[[Emergence]]}}{{Ref/Film|Id=Homecoming|TV|Episode=[[Homecoming (TV Series)|Homecoming]]}} | Originally uninhabited, Eridanus II was settled as a part of the [[Reach for Life project]].

John, Halsey and [[Adun Saly]] visited the ruins of the Reach for Life installation and John's childhood home where John uncovered his drawings of the keystone and its location. At John's request, Cortana digitally recreated his ruined house which triggered more of John's memories of finding the keystone in a cavern outside of the installation during a family picnic. It also caused John to remember meeting Halsey on Eridanus II before their first supposed meeting at an orphanage on Ehilend. John was then able to lead Halsey to the cavern where the two found the keystone.{{Ref/Reuse|Homecoming}} | John, Halsey and [[Adun Saly]] visited the ruins of the Reach for Life installation and John's childhood home where John uncovered his drawings of the keystone and its location.
