| [[Installation 05]]'s '''control room''', known to the [[Covenant]] as the '''Chamber of Consecration''',<ref>''Halo: Broken Circle'', p. 245</ref> was the [[Control Room|site]] that controlled all of the installation's operations. The control room is located on an island off the coast of a larger island in the middle of a large sea. There is also a noticeable design difference from [[Installation 04]]'s control room, in there being a large, triple-tiered structure in the center of the facility. When the ring's firing sequence was initiated this structure would extend to its full height, with several floating platforms encircling it and a single beam projecting from deep within the control room in the chamber's center.<ref name="gj">''[[Halo 2]]'', campaign level, [[The Great Journey]]</ref> | | '''[[Installation 05]]'s [[Control Room]]''' was the site that controlled all of the Installation's operations.

| | Prompted by the [[Prophet of Truth]], [[Tartarus]] brought [[343 Guilty Spark]] and [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]] to the control room in order to activate the ring, initiating the [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]]. Before he could force Keyes to activate the panel, however, the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] arrived, teaming up with [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Major Johnson]] and other [[Sangheili]] troops. |
| After [[High Charity]]'s arrival at [[Installation 05]] and the redefinition of the [[Sangheili]]'s socio-political status following the [[Changing of the Guard]], many of the [[Sangheili Councilor]]s traveled to the control room in order to prepare it for the Halo's firing and the "Great Journey". However, the [[Jiralhanae Captain]] [[Melchus]] entered the control room with a heavily-armed [[Jiralhanae]] contingent and slaughtered the Councilors gathered there after a brief battle.<ref>''Halo: Broken Circle'', p. 245-252</ref> A small number of Councilors were taken prisoner in the nearby [[Bastion of the Brutes]].{{Ref/Reuse|gj}}
