Each of the [[Halo]] [[Installation]]s created by the [[Forerunners]] has a central '''Control Room'''. The Control Room contains the Installation's [[Core]] data center, and is where the [[Activation Index|Index]] is used to activate the Halo's weapon.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level ''[[Two Betrayals]]''</ref> It is typically located within a pyramidal temple-like structure. | |||

Installation 04's Control Room was located in a snowy chasm. The main console and Core was located within a massive spherical chamber behind a set of doors and connecting corridors. The room features a massive hologram of Installation 04 and the [[Threshold]] system in its center. Suspended in the air is a large circular catwalk. | |||

He returned to the Control Room at the start of [[Two Betrayals]] to insert the Index as prompted by [[343 Guilty Spark]], but was stopped by Cortana. 343 Guilty Spark then sent [[Sentinel]]s to stop the Chief. After the Chief destroyed the Sentinels, he took Cortana and left. | ||

Here, the Jiralhanae Chieftain [[Tartarus]] brought [[Miranda Keyes]] to the Control Room along with [[343 Guilty Spark]] to attempt to activate [[Delta Halo (level)|Delta Halo]]. He succeeded in activating the installation, but was slain by [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee and [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]]. The Index was removed by Miranda before the weapon could fire. It consists of a three-leveled structure with a gravity lift in the middle. On all three levels, there are many crates containing [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle/Jiralhanae variant|Brute Plasma Rifles]] and [[Type-51 Carbine|Carbines]]. | |||

The Control Room for the [[Installation 04B|replacement]] [[Installation 04]] is a nearly identical copy of the original ring's Control Room. | |||
The | The temple structure has the same basic triangular shape as Installation 04's Control Room, with a long support beam running from the ground to the top of the structure. There are minor aesthetic differences, including the walkways on each level being more narrow, as well as the tower at the top being replaced by a large flat landing. | ||
As you progress into the control room, the corridors and doorways are reminiscent of Installation 04, while offering minimal changes. The actual control room and control panel is scarcely different from the original. The large dome-shaped room still shows a holographic image of the halo ring, although Threshold is missing from this image (as the ring has not been moved to that point). | |||
The control room | |||
The differences in design from the original Installation 04 may be due to the ring's incomplete state, as suggested by Cortana's observation, "Halo. It's so new...unfinished." This "newer" design could also be what Installation 04 originally looked like before the Flood outbreak and the activation of the Halos by the [[Forerunner]]. | |||

*It is most likely that the appearance of the Control Rooms differ with each Installation, since the design of the one found on Installation 04 bears little resemblance to that of Installation 05. Given that not all of the Halo rings known to have existed were built concurrently, it is possible that Installation 05's design was of an earlier/later version than that of Installation 04. | |||
