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.

Another one of the Ark's Cartographers, radically different in layout and design from the one encountered in 2552, was utilized by the [[Banished]] during their occupation of the Ark in [[2559]] to map out the megastructure and take control of its [[Teleportation grid|portal network]]. During the [[Second Ark Conflict]] between the Banished and the UNSC forces from the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, the latter assaulted and successfully took control of the Cartographer. From the Cartographer, Professor [[Ellen Anders]] learned of [[Atriox]]'s use of it to take control of the portal network,{{Ref/Level|Id=The Cartographer|HW2|[[The Cartographer]]}} leading to a successful mission to cripple Atriox's ability to use the network.{{Ref/Level|HW2|[[Lights Out]]}} In addition, Anders learned about the Ark's weapons systems through the Cartographer.{{Ref/Reuse|The Cartographer}} Isabel later used this information to have the ''Spirit of Fire's'' crew take over one of the Ark's [[particle cannon]]s to immobilize the Banished {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}} ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'' and take down its shields as part of a plan to destroy the ship.{{Ref/Level|HW2|[[Hold the Line]]}} | Another one of the Ark's Cartographers, radically different in layout and design from the one encountered in 2552, was utilized by the [[Banished]] during their occupation of the Ark in [[2559]] to map out the megastructure and take control of its [[Teleportation grid|portal network]].

Another Cartographer, located on the Epsilon Spire, was utilized by the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]], [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]]'s [[Covenant | Another Cartographer, located on the Epsilon Spire, was utilized by the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]], [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]]'s [[Dhas Bhasvod's Covenant]] and [[Intrepid Eye]] to locate a facility on the Ark from which the [[Halo Array]] could be fired following the destruction of the [[Installation 00 Citadel]]. Responding to [[Veta Lopis]]' status as a [[Reclaimer]], the Cartographer's defenses allowed them through where the Cartographer's submonitor directed them to [[Epsilon Clarion]], the only facility in the Clarion network that was either accessible or operable.{{Ref/Novel|DW}} | ||

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.

The original Cartographer was subsequently destroyed due to the damage that it had sustained {{Ref/Novel|PoL|13}} and its function was transferred to the former Mendicant Bias' core{{Ref/Novel|PoL|15}} by the installation's ancillas and the [[Librarian]] who spent most of her time on Installation 07 creating the new Cartographer and setting the parameters for [[the Monument]]. Another Cartographer existed closer to the surface, half a ring away, but the silent Cartographer in the Monument was another one of the Librarian's ideas.{{Ref/Reuse|PoL16}} | |||
In August 2558, 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}} | |||
