'''''Rebirth''''' (sometimes titled '''''Halo: Rebirth''''') is an audio coda/epilogue to ''[[Halo: Silentium]]'', downloadable via [[Halo Waypoint Classified]] by entering the code found at the beginning of each chapter of ''Silentium''. Written by [[Greg Bear]] and his daughter [[Chloe Bear]], the story follows [[Riser]] and his arrival on the [[Installation 00|lesser Ark]] and later his return to [[Earth|Erde-Tyrene]]. Days after, a new code was revealed, adding five additional minutes to ''Rebirth'', describing the trial of [[Mendicant Bias]] after its defeat at the [[Battle of the Maginot Sphere]].<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGR1V7IRLXs '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Halo 4 Silentium Rebirth'']</ref>  
 
The text itself was eventually appended to the 2014 release of ''Silentium'', serving as an actual epilogue listed seamlessly after the final chapter. In [[2022]], a free PDF download of ''Rebirth'' was released in a [[Canon Fodder]].{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-of-protocols-and-prisons|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Of Protocols and Prisons|D=09|M=03|Y=2022}}

''Rebirth'' describes the [[reintroduction]] phase from the perspective of [[Riser]]. Having survived the destruction of the [[greater Ark]], Riser and many more surviving humans wake up in a Forerunner ship, overseen by the [[Lifeworker]] [[Growth-Through-Trial-of-Change]]. The humans - along with specimens of many other species - are relocated on [[Installation 00]], the lesser Ark, where they are watched over by the Forerunners until it is deemed safe to return them to their homeworlds. Among the surviving humans is [[Vinnevra]], who Riser met earlier on [[Installation 07]] during the events of ''[[Halo: Primordium]]''. When the humans are eventually returned to Earth, [[Florian|Riser's people]] are relocated on [[Wikipedia:Flores|a series of islands]] at his own request. Riser meets with the [[IsoDidact]] one last time before the Forerunners leave and the humans begin settling in their new home.

A separate audio string accessible via a different code recounts a trial held to Mendicant Bias after the AI's [[Battle of the Maginot Sphere|defeat]] against [[Offensive Bias]]. Riser, the IsoDidact and several surviving Forerunners observe as the confined remains of Mendicant Bias' [[personality construct array]] are brought to Installation 00. The IsoDidact decides to keep Bias alive as it possesses intimate knowledge of the [[Flood]] and can thus be called upon in case of their return. Bias is then entombed in a desert on Installation 00 with only one thought allowed to it: atonement.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3YLl2NLVFA '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''The Trial of Mendicant Bias'']</ref>
