Keeper-of-Tools did not accompany the Librarian planetside after the crew discovered a world home to [[Sedaaro Forerunner|primitive Forerunners]] who had been isolated from their brethren in the [[Milky Way]] for ten million years. After the Librarian had found out the truth of the origins of the local Forerunners, ''Audacity'' and her crew returned to the [[ecumene]], although the Librarian would not reveal what she had discovered until much later.<ref>'''Halo: Silentium''', ''page 181''</ref>

===Work on Bastion===
===Work on Bastion===
Line 40: Line 34:
In the final days of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]], Keeper, Birth, Dawn and Clearance were sent to to be the caretakers of Bastion, but the Flood's advancement through Forerunner space changed things. The four Forerunners are waylaid time after time, cast into one battle after another and constantly evading capture. Knowing that their work on Bastion was too dangerous to fall into Flood hands, the four upload their essences into the [[Domain]] until the war is over and the way to Bastion can be achieved in secrecy and safety.

To enact this, Keeper sought the help of an [[ancilla]] to procure a [[durance]] for him,<ref name="Intel Reunion">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', ''campaign level [[Reunion]]'' - [[Mission Intel]]</ref> which would allow the uploading of his mind to the Domain. However, the firing of the [[Halo Array]] nearly destroyed the Domain, trapping and separating the four and possibly destroying the imprints of Birth, Dawn and Clearance.<ref name="POL294">'''[[Halo: Point of Light]]''', ''pages 294''</ref>

Surviving in Genesis' systems, Keeper witnessed the beginning of the alliance between [[Cortana]] and the [[Warden Eternal]], and reacted with alarm as they took control of [[Guardian]]s across the galaxy to enforce the [[Mantle of Responsibility]].<ref name="Intel Breaking">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', ''campaign level [[The Breaking]]'' - [[Mission Intel]]</ref> He noted, however, that the Domain had repaired itself enough to cure Cortana of her rampancy, and hoped to finally access it.{{Ref/Reuse|Intel Breaking}} Eventually, Cortana noticed his presence in her network and began to hunt him down, though Keeper left audio logs scattered across Genesis to warn the [[Blue Team|human]] [[Fireteam Osiris|forces]] who opposed her, noting that Cortana had not yet taken control of the installation's [[Constructor]]s, and that the installation's monitor, [[Exuberant Witness]], could use them to take back control.{{Ref/Reuse|Intel Breaking}}

As Cortana began to deploy her massed Guardian forces across the galaxy, and the Warden was distracted fighting both Blue Team and Fireteam Osiris, Keeper was able to finally access the Domain, restoring him and finally allowing him to locate Bastion.<ref name="Intel Guardians">'''Halo 5: Guardians''', ''campaign level [[Guardians]]'' - [[Mission Intel]]</ref>

===Bastion===
As the [[Created conflict]] begins, Keeper is finally able to transmit his consciousness into a [[monitor]] body on [[Bastion]] after the arrival of [[Rion Forge]] and [[343 Guilty Spark]] momentarily opens the shields and broadcasts a signal that Keeper is able to lock onto. Keeper calls Spark's choice of an [[armiger]] body "unfortunate" and states that they must move Bastion before his signal can be followed by a [[Guardian Custode|Guardian]]. Spark reveals [[Cortana]]'s uprising to Rion, explaining that he had been detecting signals for weeks that he only now understood was a call to arms for the Guardians.

Keeper leads the others onto a gondola heading for the Nursery and declares that he and Spark are quite similar as both of their eyes have been closed only to open a thousand centuries later with much having been lost. Spark recognizes Keeper's loss and realizes that he is a direct imprint or essence of the real Keeper-of-Tools and Keeper explains his story to Spark.<ref>'''[[Halo: Point of Light]]''', ''pages 289-294''</ref>
