*"Penitent" refers to ''feeling or expressing sorrow for sin or wrongdoing and [being] disposed to atonement and amendment''" and is synonymous with "repentant"<ref>[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/penitent '''Dictionary.com:''' penitent]</ref>, and "tangent" is part of the idiom "off on a tangent", which refers to ''digressing suddenly from one course of action or thought and turning to another''.<ref>[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tangent '''Dictionary.com:''' tangent]</ref> This name may reflect the Monitor's current actions; it could be described as sorrowfully digressing from one course of action (neglecting its Installation) and turning to another (wishing to activate the Halo). This is interesting, as Penitent is a synonym for Guilty, and Tangent is similar to Spark. It has been theorized that all Monitors were named following this pattern.{{Verify}}
