The '''translocation ~~artifact~~''' ~~was an object~~ located within [[Requiem]].

The '''translocation artifacts''' were three artifacts located within [[Requiem]].

== Overview ==

The ~~artifact is~~ a gray-black, roughly rectangular object, vaguely resembling a table or sarcophagus. When activated, patterns of orange [[hard light]] pulse across its surface, and a glowing Forerunner symbol appears above the center. The ~~device~~ lacks any obvious interface, but upon physical interaction with a [[Reclaimer]], an invisible field around the object glows orange at the point of contact.

The artifacts' full capabilities and purpose were unknown, but it is known to function both as a translocation terminal and a communication device.

== History ==

In 2558, several archeological teams of the [[Covenant remnant]] began looking for the ~~artifact~~ on Requiem. The Covenant determined that it was located in a region of artificial volcanic activity; after arriving there, they immediately secured the area and began looking for the artifact. [[Fireteam Crimson]] arrived later, after they discovered the artifact's location from a map found in an area known as "[[The Refuge]]". Upon eliminating Covenant and [[Promethean]] forces in the area Crimson found the artifact and moved to secure it. While awaiting extraction, Promethean reinforcements arrived, but Crimson managed to hold them off until a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] arrived to extract them.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Departure/Core|S1E1 ''Core'']]</ref>

Shortly after being brought aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, the artifact unexpectedly activated, emitting an orange energy pulse and began to drain power from the ship. [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Sarah Palmer]] managed to temporarily deactivate it by kicking it. [[Henry Glassman|Dr. Glassman]], the ''Infinity's'' chief engineer, was ordered to immediately examine the artifact. While do so, Dr. Glassman inadvertently reactivated it, emitting an energy pulse which soon overtook him, disintegrating and pulling him through a portal.

Halsey determined that it was communicating with the ship's drive engines, which were of Forerunner design, and transmitting data of the ship and its crew to an unknown location in Requiem.<ref name="catherine"/>

Later, it was revealed that the artifact was some form of communication device, and that it was transmitting information to Dr. Halsey's datapad. Through this connection, Halsey began a dialogue with an unknown entity, which claimed to know "the truth" about the Prometheans and many other things. Subsequently, it was revealed that the entity on the other end of the communication line was none other than [[Jul 'Mdama]], who was using the artifact to spy on the doctor and ''Infinity''.

Upon being analyzed by Dr. Halsey aboard Infinity, a Forerunner [[Didact's Gift|AI matrix]] belonging to a Promethean Knight showed images of the translocation artifact in [[New Phoenix]], [[United Republic of North America|URNA]], indicating that the artifact was present at New Phoenix when the Didact harvested its population using the [[Composer]]. Sometime later, [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan]] [[Gabriel Thorne]] personally investigated the artifact. He came into physical contact with the artifact and, as consequence, was unexpectedly translocated to an unknown Forerunner structure on Requiem under Covenant control, where he was surrounded by several [[Sangheili Storm]].

The artifact's teleportation abilities soon revealed themselves to be able to work in reverse, as it began teleporting [[Promethean]]s aboard the ''Infinity''. The crew aboard fended them off, and Thomas Lasky ordered ''Infinity'' to be moved out of range, but it was soon found that the ship was unable to move. Closer examination of the space around it revealed the artifact was working as anchor, bending slipspace so as to hold the ship in place.

Dr. Glassman, after studying a map that belonged to Sangheili [[Gek]] and another map found by Crimson, discover that the cause of that Infinity could not get out of Requiem was that the three devices connected to the planet with the ship. The Infinity sent to Fireteam Crimson to deactivate one of the artifacts, and Majestic and Palmer to disable the other one on the planet, while Glassman deactivated the third one onboard the ship. When Jul 'Mdama put the Shield World on a collision course with the sun, the artifacts made the Infinity follow the same direction as the planet. After many complications, Glassman and the Spartans managed to disable the devices and separate the Infinity from the planet. The three artifacts were destroyed along with the planet, with the third being ejected from the Infinity.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Exodus|S1E10 ''Exodus'']]</ref>
