Tudejsa: Difference between revisions

The Tudejsa lived across a number of environments in the Halo, such as valleys, jungles, and prairies, and had even built rudimentary cities on the installation. For the hundreds of years Installation 07 remained under the charge of the [[Lifeworker]]s, the People were largely allowed to live as they pleased; the Forerunners would not intervene in the humans' internecine wars, for example.<ref name="HP6">''[[Halo: Primordium]]'', ''Chapter 6''</ref> Most of the People were transplanted on the ring hundreds of years before the final days of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. However, after [[Master Builder]] [[Faber]] hid Installation 07 from the [[Ecumene Council]]'s supervision and took charge of all operations there around [[100,043 BCE]], more humans were brought in from Earth on his orders, as he intended to have the [[Geas|ancient memories]] the Earth humans carried studied in order to find more efficient ways to combat the [[Flood]]. The Master Builder's takeover of the installation also led to a dramatic increase in his researchers abducting the Tudejsa for experimentation; what the humans referred to as the "[[Palace of Pain]]". Some time later, the Forerunners put a reproductive suppression mechanism into place; as a result, no more children were born to the People.<ref name="HP4">''[[Halo: Primordium]]'', ''Chapter 4''</ref> Due to these developments, the People became disorganized and desperate and were unwilling to cooperate with one another or maintain an organized society. Many also abandoned their cities and fled to the wilderness out of fear that the Forerunners would be more likely to abduct them in the cities.

When [[Chakas]] first awoke after landing on [[Installation 07]], he was lying on a flat, hard, gritty platform beneath a roof made of woven reeds thatched with leaves and branches.<ref name="HP1">''[[Halo: Primordium]]'', ''Chapter 1''</ref> Flickering fires lit the interior of the wide meeting house.
