Following the death of [[The Harbinger]] in [[2560#May|May 2560]], the [[Installation 07]] [[sub-monitor]], [[Adjutant Revendicate]], attempted to contact the Absolute Record with the intent of entering information into the repository. The monitor was briefly questioned on its intent by Invariant Bias, who demanded to know what information Revendicate wished to withdraw, before being corrected. The Contender then proceeded to scan through the information provided by Revendicate - an [[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)|up-to-date recording]] of information about the current state of the [[Milky Way]] galaxy gathered from various sources - before agreeing to accept the data into the archives.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22p6|Enc22|Page=6-7}}{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=487}}

The Absolute Record is used by [[343 Industries]] as the in-universe basis for a number of real-world lore posts. The ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'' is framed in the opening and closing pages of the book as a database of information deposited into the Absolute Record by the sub-monitor Adjutant Revendicate, following the events of ''[[Halo Infinite]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p6}}{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22p487}}

Entries from the Absolute Record are also used by 343 on the official @Halo Twitter account. Starting in [[2023]], the regular [https://twitter.com/search?q=%23FictionFriday%20(from%3AHalo)&src=typed_query&f=live #FictionFriday] data drops are framed with Invariant Bias' sigil in the top-right corner, and are themed into Vehicle, Weapon, Character, Enemy, [[High Value Target|Target]], and Tech databases.
