'''Fail-Safe Detonation''' is a term that is used to explain the Self Destruct system of a WIA or KIA [[Spartan-II]]'s [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]]. Once a Spartan-II is killed or wounded fatally, the protocol will have to be enacted by either themselves or a nearby Spartan. This is done to avoid capture of the suite and/or the wearer for identification or technological study. It is unknown if the Mk. VI has this capability, since the Mk. V is said to have one.<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', page 315</ref> | |||

The tiny access panel at the back of the suite is opened to activate the protocol, it is activated by typing several digits only the wearer knows. Once activated, a fifteen-second countdown timer starts. Once it hits zero, the the suit's fusion reactor overloads and burns everything in its path in a ten-meter radius with a follow-up explosion to finish anything alive.<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', page 315</ref> | |||
