An unknown variant of a portal-generating [[unidentified Forerunner machine|machine]] was present in the jungles of [[Installation 03]], and was only able to be activated via the Conduit's interaction with another machine found at the installation's [[Altar]] complex. Furthermore, the activation of the Altar triggered the opening of slipspace portals around the galaxy by way of these generator machines; one such machine in the Halo's jungle directly linked to another machine residing in [[New Phoenix ONI facility|an ONI facility]] in [[Arizona]] on Earth, enabling slipspace travel between the two locations. It is unknown if these portals provide two-way travel between Installation 03 and Earth exclusively, or are part of the Forerunner's vast network of portals at large.<ref name="opc"></ref><ref name="opd"></ref><ref name="ope">'''[[Halo: Spartan Strike]]''', ''[[Operation E: Brother's Keeper]]''</ref> | An unknown variant of a portal-generating [[unidentified Forerunner machine|machine]] was present in the jungles of [[Installation 03]], and was only able to be activated via the Conduit's interaction with another machine found at the installation's [[Altar]] complex.

Though the Librarian's portal network was utilized to transport the Halo rings, the rings themselves were capable of generating portals for transport if necessary. After [[Installation 07]]'s near-collision with the [[wolf-faced planet]], the [[IsoDidact]] had the installation, boosted by power from [[Forerunner dreadnought]]s, generate a limited portal to travel to the [[Greater Ark]] for repairs, but the limited power and severe damage meant that the installation had to send 20,000 kilometers of its mass to make it through.<ref name="P343" /> Similarly, [[Installation 09]] was able to open a portal for its transit to the [[Soell system]] when it was launched in [[2559]].<ref name="HW2" /> | |||
