On [[Installation 07]], the [[Tudejsa|transplanted human populations]] were given a ''geas'' through a similar imprinting system. For example, in the event of encountering a strange visitor, humans were programmed to bring such curiosities to Lifeworker outposts for evaluation.{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=183}} New or altered orders could also be triggered remotely via the beacons that transmitted the signal across the installation. Such an event occurred after the [[Primordial]] and [[Mendicant Bias]] seized full control of operations on the Halo; all humans born on the installation were given instructions to seek out research stations, known to the humans themselves as "[[Palace of Pain|Palaces of Pain]]".{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=184}} Such a need to travel would manifest itself in many ways, including a seemingly innate knowledge of where to go in the event of trouble,{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=74}} pleasing mental images of the destination, such as safety, home, food, water, or shelter, as well as a voice in one's head telling them where to go.{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=244, 276}} Ignoring the influence of a ''geas'' took remarkable willpower, to the point that resisting it was nearly impossible even with the conscious knowledge that following it may be harmful, as demonstrated by [[Vinnevra]]'s struggle to avoid her ''geas''-induced urge to travel to a "Palace of Pain".{{Ref/Novel|Pri|Page=284}}
