By 2558, the Cartographer had been destroyed and its function transferred to the former Mendicant Bias' core.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HPoLPg93|PoL|Page=93}} The new Cartographer was visited by [[Rion Forge]] and [[343 Guilty Spark]] who had once been Chakas when he was human. When Spark accessed the Cartographer, he was able to access Zeta Halo's records and discovered that a record of a single very old event had been deleted by an unknown party. Having been led to Installation 07 by the [[Librarian]]'s [[coordinate key]], Spark inserted it into the Cartographer while Rion activated it as a [[Reclaimer]]. The Cartographer displayed a star map pointing to a location on [[New Carthage]] and provided the two with the second part of the coordinate key.
