After one Theoretical named [[Boundless (Forerunner)|Boundless]] persisted in studying a certain star in the [[Tarantula Nebula|Spider nebula]] of [[Path Kethona]] despite Warrior orders, she was eventually punished by the Juridicals and sealed within a faulty Cryptum that caused her death. The entire Theoretical rate was then forcibly merged with the Builder rate.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''pages 95-96''</ref> | ||
