Later, the ship carrying Chakas was caught in the [[Battle of the Capital|massive battle]] around the Forerunner [[Capital]] and destroyed.

It was here that the consciousness of [[Forthencho|Forthencho, Lord of Admirals]], who had commanded the [[Prehistoric human civilization|human]] military forces against the Didact's fleets in the [[Siege of Charum Hakkor|final battle]] of [[Charum Hakkor]], surfaced alongside Chakas' own mind. After Chakas had recovered, Vinnevra took him to see her grandfather, [[Gamelpar]], who explained that he was also born on Earth and, like Chakas, held an "old spirit", or ancestral personality imprint, within him. Vinnevra then began to experience an urgent need to travel to where she assumed it would be safe; this was actually due to a geas imposed on the humans born on the Halo. Chakas, hoping to find Riser, joined Vinnevra and Gamelpar as they decided to leave the village and follow Vinnevra's geas. As they approached their destination, however, they discovered that Vinnevra's geas was leading them to what the humans called a [[Palace of Pain]]; a [[Flood research facility|Flood research station]] where the Forerunners conducted experiments on humans. Observing the facility from a distance, Chakas, Vinnevra and Gamelpar witnessed numerous humans being herded into the structure by the [[Primordial]], supposedly the last [[Precursor]]. Horrified, the three then decided to move in the opposite direction. After traveling for some time, they arrived at the shores of a large lake where they came across an abandoned human city. Exploring the city, Chakas and Gamelpar discovered a [[proto-Gravemind]] imprisoned in a Forerunner energy cage, and promptly left. | It was here that the consciousness of [[Forthencho|Forthencho, Lord of Admirals]], who had commanded the [[Prehistoric human civilization|human]] military forces against the Didact's fleets in the [[Siege of Charum Hakkor|final battle]] of [[Charum Hakkor]], surfaced alongside Chakas' own mind.
