[[Installation 05]]'s | '''[[Installation 05]]'s [[Control Room]]''', known to the [[Covenant]] as the '''Chamber of Consecration''',<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 245''</ref> was the site that controlled all of the installation's operations. The Control Room is located on an island off the coast of a larger island in the middle of a large sea. There is also a noticeable design difference from [[Installation 04]]'s control room, in there being a large, triple-tiered structure in the center of the facility. When the ring's firing sequence was initiated this structure would extend to its full height, with several floating platforms encircling it and a single beam projecting from deep within the control room in the chamber's center.<ref name="gj">'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[The Great Journey]]''</ref> | ||

[[ | After ''[[High Charity]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s arrival at [[Installation 05]] and the redefinition of the [[Sangheili]]'s socio-political status following the [[Changing of the Guard]], many of the [[Sangheili Councilor]]s traveled to the Control Room in order to prepare it for the Halo's firing and the "Great Journey". However, the [[Jiralhanae Captain]] [[Melchus]] entered the Control Room with a heavily-armed [[Jiralhanae]] contingent and slaughtered the Councilors gathered there after a brief battle.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 245-252''</ref> A small number of Councilors were taken prisoner in the nearby [[Bastion of the Brutes]].<ref name="gj"/> | ||
Prompted by the [[Prophet of Truth]], [[Tartarus]] brought [[343 Guilty Spark]] and [[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]] to the control room in order to activate the ring, initiating the [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]]. Before he could force Keyes to activate the panel, however, the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] arrived, teaming up with [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Major Johnson]] and other [[Sangheili]] troops. | Prompted by the [[Prophet of Truth]], [[Tartarus]] brought [[343 Guilty Spark]] and [[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]] to the control room in order to activate the ring, initiating the [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]].

Despite the Arbiter's attempt to convince Tartarus to change his mind, Tartarus forced the [[Activation Index|Index]] into the panel, activating the primary firing systems. A battle began between the Sangheili and the Jiralhanae, which ended after Tartarus and his troops died and Keyes deactivated the ring. | Despite the Arbiter's attempt to convince Tartarus to change his mind, Tartarus forced the [[Activation Index|Index]] into the panel, activating the primary firing systems.
