During the [[ | During the [[Skirmish on Installation 03]], [[monitor]] [[859 Static Carillon]] teleported the [[Ur-Didact]] to the [[Control Room (Installation 03)|Installation's control room]] in order to aid [[Blue Team]]. Determined to kill the [[Promethean]] warrior, Master Chief [[John-117]] went to confront the Didact and inserted the ring's Activation Index with the installation's Core. John manually disabled Gamma Halo's safety protocols, allowing the monitor to scuttle the Halo segment containing them into the [[Composer's Forge|planet installation]] below.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue # 10''</ref> | ||

[[Installation 04]]'s Core was, at one point, inhabited by Cortana. While inside, she obtained a tremendous quantity of knowledge. Within an instant, this position enabled her to learn of the [[Flood]] and [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]]'s plight against them. More importantly, it enabled her to stop the installation from firing and steal the Index when [[John-117]] had attempted to activate Halo's firing process.<ref>'''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''', campaign level ''[[Two Betrayals (Level)|Two Betrayals]]''</ref> | [[Installation 04]]'s Core was, at one point, inhabited by Cortana.

During the [[Battle of Installation 05]], [[Tartarus]] forced the captive [[Miranda Keyes]] to connect [[Installation 05]]'s Activation Index with the installation's Core. As the Halo's firing process was initiated, the Index was moved to the beam in the center of the control room. Before the ring could fire, however, Keyes removed the Index from the beam, aborting Installation 05's firing sequence.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[The Great Journey]]''</ref> | |||
