Around [[100,000 BCE]], he arrived at [[Janjur Qom]] to seek information on the Flood from the [[San 'Shyuum]] leadership. Their arrival, following the Librarian's indexing of the San 'Shyuum, caused the San 'Shyuum to rebel against the Forerunners.

However, the Master Builder had overestimated his control over his allies. They believed that the Halo Array was intended as a last resort weapon, not to punish uprisings. Many of his closest allies felt he had violated the [[Mantle]] with his actions, and a political revolution occurred, with many [[Councilor (Forerunner)|Councilor]]s resigning in protest. Meanwhile, many Lifeworkers and [[Warrior-Servant]]s on Installation 07 violently rebelled against the Master Builder, but this revolt was mostly suppressed by Faber's loyal [[Builder Security]] forces.<ref name="prim190"/> | However, the Master Builder had overestimated his control over his allies.

Aboard the ship, Faber ordered the Builder Security crew to escape the system. Before they did, Faber's personal security attacked and killed all but Sharp. Faber exiled Sharp-by-Striking along with the [[Ur-Didact]], a [[Catalog]], and a high ranking Builder known as [[Maker-of-Moons]] to an ancient Builder hulk near the Flood-infested [[Uthera Midgeerrd]].<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 5''</ref> | ||
