If a Cartographer facility is destroyed, a new facility is either constructed elsewhere or a different facility is repurposed to act as that installation's Cartographer due to how important the Cartographers are. When [[343 Guilty Spark]] accessed the new Cartographer on [[Installation 07]], he was also able to use it to access the installation's historical records. By inserting the [[Librarian]]'s [[coordinate key]], which had specifically pointed to Zeta Halo and with [[Rion Forge]] acting as a [[Reclaimer]] for the system when prompted, Spark caused the Cartographer to turn from a map of the installation into a star map pointing to a location on [[New Carthage]] which was located in an entirely different sector of the galaxy. This suggests that when prompted, a Cartographer can also act as a [[star map]], not just an installation map.{{Ref/Reuse| | If a Cartographer facility is destroyed, a new facility is either constructed elsewhere or a different facility is repurposed to act as that installation's Cartographer due to how important the Cartographers are.{{Ref/Novel|PoL|10}} When [[343 Guilty Spark]] accessed the new Cartographer on [[Installation 07]], he was also able to use it to access the installation's historical records.

On at the very least Installation 07, due to security protocols, data taken from the [[Conspectus network]] could only be decrypted via ports in the ring's Cartographer facilities or at the [[Conservatory (location)|Conservatory]].{{Ref/Reuse|RP269}} | On at the very least Installation 07, due to security protocols, data taken from the [[Conspectus network]] could only be decrypted via ports in the ring's Cartographer facilities or at the [[Conservatory (location)|Conservatory]].{{Ref/Reuse|RP269}} | ||

This system used an elaborate webbing projected by a rod-like object to directly connect to each human-Forerunner pair via their skin, completely melding their neural networks with the Cartographer's controls. With the individual's consciousness now merged with the Halo's computer systems, they were flooded with the vast amounts of information and sensory input flowing through the Cartographer. The organic controllers, along with the Halo, formed a cybernetic gestalt intelligence which perceived the surrounding reality through the Halo's sensor systems and abstractions provided by the Cartographer.{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=329-330}} Numerous different event-paths and outcomes were consistently being calculated and processed while the controllers steered the ring and incessantly performed minute adjustments to its numerous systems.{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=342}} After the IsoDidact arrived to retake the ring, he entered the Cartographer and connected to the system with Chakas in order to see the ongoing salvage effort to the end.{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=339}} | This system used an elaborate webbing projected by a rod-like object to directly connect to each human-Forerunner pair via their skin, completely melding their neural networks with the Cartographer's controls.

By 2558, the Cartographer had been destroyed and its function transferred to the former Mendicant Bias' core.{{Ref/Novel | By 2558, the Cartographer had been destroyed{{Ref/Novel|PoL|13}} and its function transferred to the former Mendicant Bias' core.{{Ref/Novel|PoL|15}} 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. However, Rion was suddenly pulled through a [[slipspace portal]] to [[Erebus VII]] by [[the Precept]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=PoL16|PoL|16}} | ||
