Editing Fail-safe detonation system

A '''fail-safe detonation system''' is a term that is used to explain the Self Destruct system of a [[Wounded in action|WIA]] or [[Killed in action|KIA]] [[SPARTAN-II Program|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 suit 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>

== Effectiveness ==
The tiny access panel at the back of the suit is opened to activate the protocol, it is activated by typing several digits only Spartans know. Once activated, a fifteen-second countdown timer starts. Once it hits zero, 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>

== Trivia ==
*The [[John-117|Master Chief]] is the only known Spartan to activate the fail-safe detonation system (on [[Grace-093]]'s suit after she was killed by a [[Jiralhanae|Brute]] in the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] city of [[Unyielding Hierophant]]).<ref>'''[[Halo: First Strike]]''', ''page 315''</ref>
*It is known that activation of the armor's fusion reactor is  part of the Cole Protocol, and failure to activate the core when possible will result in court martial and/or strip of rank.

-The [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] is equipped with a '''fail-safe detonation system'''. If a [[SPARTAN programs|Spartan]] is killed or wounded fatally, or they are forced to shed the armor in the field, the [[self-destruct]] protocol will have to be enacted by either themselves or a nearby Spartan. This is done to avoid capture of the suit and/or the wearer for identification or technological study.{{Ref/Novel|Id=FS34|FS|Chapter=34}}

-*[[Frederic-104]]'s damaged and inert [[CENTURION-class Mjolnir]] suit's fail-safe detonation system was activated at the conclusion of [[Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE]] on [[Gao]] in order to prevent the armor from falling into enemy hands, destroying two low-flying Gao [[MV-29 Wyvern]]s in the process.{{Ref/Novel|LL|Chapter=27}}
