During the [[ | During the [[Skirmish on Installation 03]] on [[2557#July|July 26, 2557]], [[859 Static Carillon]], the [[monitor]] of the [[Composer's Forge]], temporarily disabled the [[Ur-Didact]] and used an emergency teleport feature present in [[Installation 03]]'s teleportation grid to displace the [[Promethean]] commander into the [[Control Room (Installation 03)|Control Room]]. According to the monitor, the control center was the only destination available to him, being the most secure location on the ring. Static Carillon then teleported [[John-117]] into the control room and, after ejecting the segment of the Halo housing the control room, he teleported the Master Chief aboard [[Blue Team]]'s [[GA-TL1 Longsword]] in orbit just before the detached section impacted the [[Composer's Forge]].<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 10|Issue #10]]''</ref> | ||

[[Installation 07]]'s teleportation grid | [[Installation 07]]'s teleportation grid takes on the form of portals, much like that on [[Requiem]]. On the Master Chief's orders, [[the Weapon]] opens a portal for him from the [[Command Spire]] to as close as she can get them to where [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] has taken [[Fernando Esparza]].{{Ref/Level|Hi|[[The Command Spire]]}} The two pass through a data cluster of [[Cortana]]'s memories, causing the Master Chief to see some of them.{{Ref/Level|Hi|[[Repository (Halo Infinite level)|Repository]]}} | ||

[[ | The [[Etran Harborage]] also contained a teleportation grid. On the [[Apex Site]] was a pad that could be activated through a voice command to transport its occupant to a desired location. In this pad's case, a ring rose up and surrounded the user with energy before disappearing, leaving the user at their desired destination. The Harborage also contained numerous small teleporters which acted similar to elevators, transporting anyone who entered them from a higher level to a nearby lower level and vice versa. Aside from aircraft, the main way onto the Apex Site was through a large pad teleporter at the top of a series of ramps that led to the Apex Base Site. This pad transported anything entering it to the Apex Site automatically. | ||
In order to escape [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] and his forces on the Apex Site, Professor [[Ellen Anders]] activated the teleporter there with a command of "surface!" The teleporter sent Anders to a small bridge on the surface of the inner shield world. Smaller teleporters were then used by Anders and Sergeant [[John Forge]] to reach an evac [[Pelican]] and to help move around while building [[firebase]]s in the area. | In order to escape [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] and his forces on the Apex Site, Professor [[Ellen Anders]] activated the teleporter there with a command of "surface!"
