The initial level design would have had the player ascend a "corkscrewing" staircase, with the activation index hovering and pulsating in the center. However, the design was ultimately cut due to engine limitations, with walls being added throughout the level to reduce the number of objects being rendered, making navigation much more difficult without the index as a point of reference.

The events of the level were later expanded in the novel ''[[Halo: The Flood]]''. One of the dead human combat forms found in the level was alluded to as a Staff Sergeant [[Marvin Mobuto]], who was brought to the Library by 343 Guilty Spark in an attempt to retrieve the index. Mobuto's body was described as thrashed and mangled to the point where even the Flood could not make use of it. | The events of the level were later expanded in the novel ''[[Halo: The Flood]]''.
