While collecting data from the beacons, the Weapon eventually detected the Harbinger's presence within the beacon network and realized the latter's intentions. Since the Spires still hadn't been activated yet, the Master Chief initially wanted to abort their current plan, effectively leaving them and the Harbinger in a stalemate. However, the Weapon believed that the Harbinger would eventually find a way to activate the Spires on her own, so they had no choice but to finish gathering the data needed to enter the Command Spire.{{Ref/Reuse|The Sequence}} | While collecting data from the beacons, the Weapon eventually detected the Harbinger's presence within the beacon network and realized the latter's intentions.

After reconstructing the Forerunner sequence and opening the door, the Weapon determined that to get into the Command Spire itself, they would first have to descend into the [[Nexus (location)|Nexus]], a facility directly below, and access its gravity lift. The Chief fought his way through numerous Banished forces and eventually reached the Nexus's central chamber. After the Chief restored power to the gravity lift, the Weapon accessed the Nexus's systems in order to activate the lift. The Harbinger then sprung her trap and hacked the Weapon, intent on using her to start the Reformation. The Weapon, in turn, used her link to the Harbinger to try to steal Despondent Pyre's encephalon. Despite the Master Chief's attempt to delete the Weapon - an effort which the Weapon herself stopped - both the Harbinger and the Weapon succeeded in their respective goals. This caused friction between the Chief and the Weapon, with the Chief being angry that the Weapon had stopped him from deleting her and had thus allowed the Reformation to begin, while the Weapon - who believed the Harbinger would have found a way to start the Reformation regardless - was angry that the Chief had tried to delete her in the first place rather than trust her.{{Ref/Reuse|Nexus}} | After reconstructing the Forerunner sequence and opening the door, the Weapon determined that to get into the Command Spire itself, they would first have to descend into the [[Nexus (location)|Nexus]], a facility directly below, and access its [[gravity lift]].

With the Reformation underway, the Spires began forging building blocks which were sent out to repair the Silent Auditorium.

There, he encountered Adjutant Resolution who had survived their initial confrontation. The Sub-Monitor, now equipped with an improved combat chassis, tried to stop the Spartan, but the Chief defeated him again. The Chief then took the elevator to the Observation Platform, where he fought and defeated a trio of [[Banished Phantom]]s. He then deployed the Weapon, who used Despondent Pyre's encephalon to shut down all the Spires and end the Reformation,{{Ref/Reuse|The Command Spire}} though not before the Silent Auditorium had been partially rebuilt.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Repository|HI|Reckoning|Repository (Halo Infinite level)}} | ||

Ultimately, the Chief defeated her before she could unleash the Endless, but before dying, she sent a message to an unseen ally, instructing them to finish her task. Shortly after her death, [[Atriox]] entered the containment facility where the Endless were being imprisoned.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Silent Auditorium|HI|Endless|Silent Auditorium}} | ||
