The crew discovered a platform with a [[Lifeworker]] pod containing a personality imprint of the Librarian. As the crew was surrounded by Spartans, Spark entered the [[hard light]] beam to speak to the Librarian who helped Spark to realize that the ''Ace of Spades'' crew were the friends that he had been looking so long for. The Librarian's imprint departed for the [[Absolute Record]] with her pod launching into space, something that was witnessed by several hundred people. The ''Ace of Spades'' crew were able to use a translocation pad to escape the mountain and return to their ship while ONI gained control of the facility.<ref>'''[[Halo: Renegades]]'''</ref> | ||
