The | The '''Nexus''' is a [[Forerunner]] facility that lies directly beneath the Command [[Reformation Spire|Spire]]. Its main purpose is to direct the [[Reformation]] by using the Command Spire to transmit its orders to the other Reformation Spires. The Nexus also serves as the main point of entry into the Command Spire itself, via a [[gravity lift]].{{Ref/Quest|Id=Nexus|HI|Reformation|Nexus}} | ||

On [[2559#December|December 13, 2559]], when [[Cortana]] sacrificed herself to destroy the [[Silent Auditorium (location)|Silent Auditorium]] and deny [[Atriox]] control of [[Zeta Halo]], a large section of the Ring broke off, taking with it several key Forerunner facilities including the Nexus. Months after her death, fragments of Cortana's data lingered in and around the Nexus, manifesting themselves as ghostly echos of various memories.{{Ref/Reuse|Nexus}} | On [[2559#December|December 13, 2559]], when [[Cortana]] sacrificed herself to destroy the [[Silent Auditorium (location)|Silent Auditorium]] and deny [[Atriox]] control of [[Zeta Halo]], a large section of the Ring broke off, taking with it several key Forerunner facilities including the Nexus.

She then traveled to the Command Spire where she attempted to send the initialization sequence needed to start the [[Reformation]] and rebuild the Silent Auditorium. However, because the protocol she'd used to summon the Spires wasn't entirely correct, the Spire network resisted her attempts to start the Reformation.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Spire|HI|Connections|Spire (Halo Infinite level)}} | ||
Meanwhile, [[John-117]] entered the Nexus in order to access the [[Command Spire (location)|Command Spire]] | Meanwhile, [[John-117]] entered the Nexus in order to access the [[Command Spire (location)|Command Spire]]. Upon reaching the facility's central chamber, the Chief's [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] companion, [[The Weapon]], remarked on how interconnected and exquisite everything was. John, however, insisted it was a problem that needed to be dealt with. The gravity lift connecting the Nexus to the Command Spire above had been deactivated, so the Chief searched the Nexus for the three [[power seed]]s required to reactivate the lift. After fighting through multiple [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s, the Chief recovered the seeds and restored power.{{Ref/Reuse|Nexus}} | ||
When the Weapon accessed the Nexus's system to reactivate the lift, the Harbinger sprung a trap and hacked the Weapon, intent on using her AI routines in combination with Despondent Pyre's to break through the network's resistance and start the Reformation. The Weapon, in turn, used her link to the Harbinger to try to steal Despondent Pyre's encephalon. Despite the Master Chief's attempt to delete the Weapon - an effort which the Weapon herself stopped - both the Harbinger and the Weapon succeeded in their respective goals. This caused friction between the Chief and the Weapon, with the Chief being angry that the Weapon had stopped him from deleting her and had thus allowed the Reformation to begin, while the Weapon - who believed the Harbinger would have found a way to start the Reformation regardless - was angry that the Chief had tried to delete her in the first place rather than trust her.{{Ref/Reuse|Nexus}} | When the Weapon accessed the Nexus's system to reactivate the lift, the Harbinger sprung a trap and hacked the Weapon, intent on using her AI routines in combination with Despondent Pyre's to break through the network's resistance and start the Reformation.
