After Installation 07 was reclaimed from Mendicant Bias and the Primordial, the [[Librarian]] spent time on the ring, creating the new [[Cartographer#Installation 07|Cartographer]], setting the parameters for [[the Monument]] and giving the ancillas new purpose after so much of their original purpose had been lost.{{Ref/Novel|Id=PoL16|PoL|16}} Following the firing of the array and per the Librarian's instructions, the ancillas of Zeta Halo spent centuries gathering the various essences, imprints and damaged submonitors left over from the civil war on the ring and gave them a new home in the Monument. The ancilla continued keeping watch over the Monument and the lifeforms living on Zeta Halo for the countless eons that followed as per the instructions of the Librarian and the IsoDidact.

In [[2558#August|August 2558]], Spark visited Installation 07 in order to use its Cartographer to unlock the secrets of the Librarian's [[coordinate key]]. The visit caused Spark to revisit his traumatic memories of the events on the ring,{{Ref/Novel|PoL|13}} before meeting Submonitor [[091 Adjutant Veridity]] who revealed to Spark and [[Rion Forge]] what the ring's ancillas had done in the eons following the events, particularly their creation of the Monument using the overabundance of essences, imprints and ancillas that had been left by the civil war.
