The Covenant remnant determined that it was located in a region of artificial volcanic activity; after arriving there, they immediately secured the area and began looking for the artifact. [[Fireteam Crimson]] arrived later, after they discovered the artifact's location from a map found in an area known as "[[The Refuge]]". Upon eliminating Covenant and [[Promethean]] forces in the area Crimson found the artifact and moved to secure it. While awaiting extraction, Promethean reinforcements arrived, but Crimson managed to hold them off until a [[D79-TC Pelican|Pelican]] arrived to extract them.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Departure/Core|S1E1 ''Core'']]</ref>

[[Sarah Palmer|Commander Sarah Palmer]] managed to temporarily deactivate it by kicking it. [[Henry Glassman|Dr. Glassman]], the ''Infinity's'' chief engineer, started examining the artifact but it suddenly reactivated, emitting an energy pulse which soon overtook Dr. Glassman, disintegrating and pulling him inside it through some kind of portal.
