The effects of malfunctioning vacuum energy extraction machinery can be disastrous: when guano dust seeped into [[Covert Support Base 4276]]'s vacuum energy extractor, its calibrations were corrupted, unleashing a "cyclone of quantum fury" that tore through the facility, warping both space and time and dimensionally displacing anything in its way. A wave of subatomic agitation was also released, softening metal and disintegrating polymers and thus damaging most of the facility's equipment.<ref>'''[[Halo: Last Light]]''', ''page 131'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Even well after the incident, the extractor continued to generate a space-time anomaly in its vicinity: when [[ | The effects of malfunctioning vacuum energy extraction machinery can be disastrous: when guano dust seeped into [[Covert Support Base 4276]]'s vacuum energy extractor, its calibrations were corrupted, unleashing a "cyclone of quantum fury" that tore through the facility, warping both space and time and dimensionally displacing anything in its way.

This phenomenon was accompanied by a peculiar time dilation-like effect, in which Fred's mission clock had only recorded the passing of ten minutes while two hours had passed outside his frame of reference.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''page 141'' (Google Play edition)</ref> When six [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]]s destroyed [[Salvation Base]] and the Forerunner [[Suluhu Contemplarium]] it was built within, the destruction caused the moon of [[Taram]] upon which the Contemplarium was build to implode into the vacuum energy extractor that was powering the Contemplarium.<ref>'''[[Halo: Retribution]]''', ''page 195''</ref> | ||
