At an unknown date, a Coral mining operation uncovered the tip of a Forerunner installation. The miners used explosives to excavate a depth of 30 meters, uncovering the undamaged tip of the installation. An [[Xenoarchaeology|archaeological]] [[Orion Archaeological Expedition|expedition]] overseen by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] was able to dig out about eighty meters of the complex, which seems to be even more expansive.

The fate of the Forerunner installation remains unknown. Whether the colony was in fact glassed or not is speculative at best, as it is unlikely that the Covenant would have deliberately glassed a Forerunner structure.<ref>'''i love bees''', ''[[Media:ILB they_got_it.ogg|ILB they_got_it.ogg]]''</ref> | ||
