This '''unidentified scanning device''' is a piece of equipment used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] to detect signal frequencies, specifically weak signals with a short radius. In order for the scanning device to function properly, the operator must get close enough to be able to read any signals in the area.<ref name="package">'''Halo Legends''', ''The Package''</ref> | This '''unidentified scanning device''' is a piece of equipment used by the [[United Nations Space Command]] to detect signal frequencies, specifically weak signals with a short radius.

The fleet's [[Supreme Commander]], [[Luro 'Taralumee]], was able to fool the scanning device's sensors and make it appear that there were multiple signals; these false signals were baited traps, as they led to [[antimatter charge]]s. One of these decoys was successful, resulting in the death of [[Solomon-069]]. However, [[John-117]] realized that the Covenant knew the Spartans' objective; he thus deduced that Halsey's real signal originated from the Covenant flagship, ''[[Resplendent Fervor]]''.<ref name="package"/> | ||

Based upon what limited information that is available, the scanning device is probably deployed either aboard the Booster Frames, or deployed onto the hull of a target vessel, in this case, a {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}}. It can also probably be inferred that the Covenant were able to fool these devices by possibly rigging multiple Antimatter Charges with a false signal transmitter programmed to broadcast on the same frequency of Dr. Halsey's beacon, and the bombs themselves programmed to detonate by proximity alert once the false signal is investigated. | |||
