Upon crossing the lake, the group encountered a Lifeworker named [[Genemender Folder of Fortune]], several [[Denisovan]]s, and a [[Wikipedia:Gigantopithecus|large ape]] known as [[Mara]] and were taken to a village populated by numerous humans, where they were fed and sent to sleep.

Leaving the now-inert compound, Vinnevra, Chakas and Mara were soon joined by Riser, who had observed them for some time. Soon after, Vinnevra's geas was roused again. Exhausted and having nowhere else to go, the group apprehensively decided to follow her lead. They eventually came across a rail transport and boarded it. They were fed during the journey, which took them to the central Lifeworker station. There, a monitor instructed them to board a boat-like vehicle.

When the Flood attacked the Greater Ark, she was evacuated along with Riser by [[343 Guilty Spark]] in a [[Gargantua-class transport]] and transported to the [[Installation 00|lesser Ark]].<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''String 34''</ref> | |||
Over 100,000 years later, [[343 Guilty Spark]], a [[monitor]] created by using Chakas' mind as a template, stated that one of the modern, 26th-century humans "almost certainly" carries Vinnevra's "old spirit" within, suggesting that her consciousness may have been scanned and imprinted to the genetic code of future generations.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 379''</ref> | Over 100,000 years later, [[343 Guilty Spark]], a [[monitor]] created by using Chakas' mind as a template, stated that one of the modern, 26th-century humans "almost certainly" carries Vinnevra's "old spirit" within, suggesting that her consciousness may have been scanned and imprinted to the genetic code of future generations.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 379''</ref> | ||
