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"/> | ||

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. | ||
