During the [[Human-Covenant War]], James Ackerson, now a [[colonel]] in the [[UNSC Army]], was captured after the [[Battle of Mare Erythraeum]]. While he was being interrogated by the [[Jiralhanae]] [[Shipmaster]] [[Lepidus]], he said that the [[Halo Array|Halos]] would not properly activate without the Key of Osanalan, causing the Covenant to go on a misleading search for the "Key".

*''[[Halo: Uprising]]'' {{1st}} | *In ''Issue 4'', when the Prophet asks, ''"Tell us, creature...what do you open?"'', Ruwan appears to say that he can open Halo. However, the panels span across the two pages and are not meant to be read in that order. Ruwan was in fact answering the Minister's demand of, ''"Tell us what you know of the Halo."''. | ||
