A '''control room''' is a crucial facility featured on many [[Forerunner]] installations, most prominently those of the [[Halo Array]]. The control room of a Halo contains the installation's [[Core]] data center, and is where the [[Activation Index|Index]] is used to activate the ring's primary weapon. It is typically located within a pyramidal temple-like structure.<ref name="twoB">'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[Two Betrayals]]''</ref> These facilities are featured on other installations as well; [[shield world]]s, for example, possess dedicated control centers for the [[Forerunner fleet]]s or weapons they may contain.<ref name="evg">'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 35''</ref> | A '''control room''' is a crucial facility featured on many [[Forerunner]] installations, most prominently those of the [[Halo Array]].

The interior of [[Installation 03|Gamma Halo]]'s control room resembles that of Installation 04 in general layout. It was here that John-117 defeated the [[Ur-Didact]] following the [[New Phoenix Incident]]. The Master Chief utilized the ring's activation index to manually disabled the installation's safety protocols, allowing monitor [[859 Static Carillon]] to eject the fragment of the ring housing the control room into the planet below, seemingly incinerating the Didact in the impact but keeping the control room intact.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 10|Issue #10]]''</ref> | |||
