Following the [[Raid on the Truth and Reconciliation|Raid on the ''Truth and | Following the [[Raid on the Truth and Reconciliation|Raid on the ''Truth and Reconciliation'']] the previous day, UNSC forces had learned that "[[Installation 04|Halo]]" was a weapon, and the [[Covenant]] intended to control it. The UNSC launched an effort to find the megastructure's control room, intending to use it themselves against the Covenant, led by Spartan [[John-117]]. On September 20, 2552, [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelicans]] ''[[Echo 419]]'' and ''[[Bravo 022]]'' deployed a squad of [[UNSC Marine Corps|marines]] along with the Spartan onto an island containing the ring's map room, referred to by the Covenant as the "Silent Cartographer". A [[Battle of the Silent Cartographer|pitched battle]] ensued, with John leading the marines in a beachhead assault before finally making his way to the map room and locating the control room. The map indicated the control room would be accessible through the ring's honeycomb network of underground tunnels, prompting ''Echo 419'' to pick up the Spartan and proceed to make their way through the tunnels to the region in which the control room was located.<ref>''Halo: Combat Evolved'', campaign level [[The Silent Cartographer]]</ref> | ||
