Months later, when [[Lessa]] handled the coordinate key, it responded to the touch of a [[Reclaimer]] and part of it collapsed inwards by twelve millimeters to form the symbol for [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Novel|PoL| | Months later, when [[Lessa]] handled the coordinate key, it responded to the touch of a [[Reclaimer]] and part of it collapsed inwards by twelve millimeters to form the symbol for [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Novel|PoL|5}} After six months without success in finding the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, [[Rion Forge]] agreed to take the ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' to follow the trail set by the key. | ||
On Zeta Halo, Spark inserted the coordinate key into the installation's [[Cartographer]] with Rion adding her touch as a Reclaimer. The Cartographer displayed a [[star map]] pointing to a location on [[New Carthage]] before ejecting the key and a second component which Rion combined together. A [[slipspace portal]] opened and pulled Rion through, although Spark managed to keep hold of the coordinate key.{{Ref/Novel|PoL|Chapter=16}} When [[Ram Chalva]] inserted the coordinate key into a terminal at [[New Carthage Forerunner Way Station|the way station]] that the map had pointed to, it released a third component to the key.

On Erebus VII, Spark placed the key into a terminal and it summoned a [[Monitor]] known as [[the Precept]] who revealed that he had initiated the slipspace portal after sensing that Rion was a Reclaimer and summoned her to Erebus VII to judge her through Rion's experiences on the planet with the [[Eiyaa-Mahtuhaa]]. After studying Spark, the Precept decided that he could proceed and tested Rion's [[geas|biological memory]]. Satisfied, the Precept returned the coordinate key to Spark and Rion with coordinates and access permissions to [[Bastion]] for the two of them alone.{{Ref/Novel|PoL|Chapter=35}} | On Erebus VII, Spark placed the key into a terminal and it summoned a [[Monitor]] known as [[the Precept]] who revealed that he had initiated the slipspace portal after sensing that Rion was a Reclaimer and summoned her to Erebus VII to judge her through Rion's experiences on the planet with the [[Eiyaa-Mahtuhaa]].
