"Of all the objects our Lords left behind, there are none so worthless as these Oracles! They know nothing of the Great Journey!"

— The Prophet of Regret

"And you know nothing about containment! You have demonstrated a complete disregard to even the most basic protocols!"

— 2401 Penitent Tangent

2401 Penitent Tangent is the AI Monitor, caretaker, and historian left to keep watch over Installation 05 and its contents when the Forerunner departed. 2401 is quirky and good humoured, though at the same time detached and by-the-book. Protocol is king; the slight emotion shown for those who die along the way seems only to truly mourn the inconvenience of finding another to assist him. Installation 05 is referred to by the UNSC as "Delta" Halo. Although only shown briefly during the encounter with the Flood Gravemind deep in the bowels of Halo, 2401 Penitent Tangent is nearly identical to its brother monitor, 343 Guilty Spark, with the exception that it glows red instead of blue. It appears that this Monitor may have been captured by the Gravemind whilst in combat as it glows dimly and its outer casing appears to be damaged.

One may assume that he has been on Delta Halo for as long as 343 Guilty Spark was on Installation 04 (for about 101,217 local years of the Installation 05 system). However since it orbits a different gas giant in a different solar system the local time span may vary somewhat. As a result of such long term confinement it is assumed that his personality may also exhibit the rampancy that is evident in Guilty Spark.
