During the [[Flood]]'s attack on the [[greater Ark]], the [[Librarian]] ordered [[343 Guilty Spark]] to use a ''Gargantua''-class transport to transport organisms — both living specimens and reduced genetic composites — from the greater Ark to [[Omega Halo]].<ref name="s261"/> After the [[Ur-Didact]] [[Mind transfer|harvested]] Omega Halo's human population using the [[Composer]], 343 Guilty Spark took the surviving humans aboard his ''Gargantua''-class vessel to [[Installation 00]], the lesser Ark; he also saved the [[IsoDidact]] from the destruction of Omega Halo.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 304''</ref> Upon arrival at the lesser Ark, Spark sent that ship to [[Earth|Erde-Tyerene]] at the Librarian's request.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 309''</ref> At Earth, the Librarian had the ship disassemble itself and, along with necessary components mined from the Earth, construct the [[Portal at Voi]], a [[Slipspace portal|slipspace gateway]] to Installation 00.<ref>'''[[Halo: Silentium]]''', ''page 324''</ref> For protection, Spark sent two [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s, one of which returned with [[Chant-to-Green]] while the other remained behind on Earth. The Sentinel that remained behind would form the basis for a platform in [[Kilimanjaro Forerunner complex|a Forerunner complex]] containing an imprint of the Librarian.<ref>'''[[Halo: Renegades]]'''</ref>
