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. During the following night, Vinnevra and the others awakened to the startling realization that the whole village, the Lifeworker and the humans had been a [[holography|holographic]] illusion, which had disappeared as the area experienced a brief power outage.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 199''</ref> Meanwhile, Gamelpar had become very ill and was dying, with the Lifeworker refusing to treat him, stating they should scan him for his imprint, but Gamelpar adamantly refused.

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. At this point, Vinnevra felt the influence of her geas as clearer than before, hearing the "voice of a child" telling her that they were going to Earth.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 276''</ref> However, they were instead taken to Mendicant Bias' core facility, deep beneath Installation 07's surface, alongside many other humans. The humans were provided with a dreamlike illusion that they were feasting around a table on Earth and they were filled with an euphoric sensation of safety and the feeling of being "home".<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 288-291''</ref> As she did not carry an ancestral [[Mind transfer|personality imprint]], Vinnevra was not deemed useful for Mendicant Bias' plan, but her life was spared nonetheless. She survived the Halo's passage over the [[Wolf-faced planet|failsafe planet]] and after the [[IsoDidact]]'s forces reclaimed the ring, she was safely relocated to the [[greater Ark]], becoming part of the Librarian's core population of humans.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 373''</ref> | Leaving the now-inert compound, Vinnevra, Chakas and Mara were soon joined by [[Riser]], who had observed them for some time.
