The Core is the most indispensable part of a ring Installation. It directs and controls every other aspect of the ring world, and is the location that the rings may be activated by way of the [[Index]]. The manner in which this is done is not entirely clear, but it seems that the Index must be physically brought into contact with the Core by a [[Reclaimer|Reclaimer]]. | The Core is the most indispensable part of a ring Installation.

Although it is not certain that only a Reclaimer can perform this action, it seems very likely. [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Guilty Spark]] said that he was not allowed to (although not that he ''couldn't'') <ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 255: ''"Protocol does not allow units of my classification to perform a task as important as the reunification of the Index with the Core."''</ref> and [[Jiralhanae]] [[Brute Chieftain| Chieftain]] [[Tartarus]] seemed to think that it was impossible for him to do so. Once the Index has been 'reunified' with the Core, the Installation's firing sequence begins. However, if the Index is forcefully removed before the fire sequence begins, All 7 Halo rings go into standby mode, ready to be fired remotely from the [[Ark]]. | Although it is not certain that only a Reclaimer can perform this action, it seems very likely.

The Core seems to be restricted-access according to [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Guilty Spark's]] "protocol" <ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 256: ''"A construct? In the core? That is absolutely unacceptable!"''</ref>. Certainly, an [[AI]] inside it has a surprising amount of control, [[Cortana]] was able to make Guilty Spark fall to the floor just by waving her hand, indicating the ability to override some of the [[Monitor]]'s powers. It is possible that the Core can control the ring's gravity and, by extrapolation, its atmosphere, spin and other functions as well. | The Core seems to be restricted-access according to [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Guilty Spark's]] "protocol" <ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 256: ''"A construct?
