- "Bastion is absent. Not destroyed; simply missing. No other facility is near enough. A new course of action is required."
- — An Unidentified Builder
Bastion was a location sought by a surviving Builder who left audio logs scattered across Genesis.[1] While Bastion's exact nature was not detailed, based on its description by the Builder it was a planet-sized Forerunner installation capable of being moved through slipspace, even after the Halo's destabilised slipspace, though the Builder believed such an act would require a nearly impossible act of causal reconciliation.[1] It was important enough that the Builder was willing to lose corporeal existence and resort to existing within a durance and connecting to the Domain to reach it, but was unable to find it due to it being moved, and instead became trapped on Genesis.[2] In late 2558 the Builder accessed the Domain while Cortana and the Warden Eternal were distracted, and managed to finally confirm Bastion still existed.[3]
