The release of the Flood added an unexpected dimension to the battle. [[Monitor]] [[343 Guilty Spark]] was preparing to fire the Installation in response to the outbreak; in conjunction with the entire [[Halo Array]] this would wipe out all sentient life in the galaxy. John-117 and Cortana returned to ''Pillar of Autumn'' to destroy the ring by detonating the still-functioning fusion reactors. An attempt to activate the cruiser's self-destruct from the bridge failed due to 343 Guilty Spark's interference. The Spartan was forced to manually destabilize the reactors with tactical ordnance. | The release of the Flood added an unexpected dimension to the battle.

John-117 and Cortana escaped the subsequent detonation and the ring aboard a [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword fighter]] still docked in [[Launch Bay 7]]. ''Pillar of Autumn'' exploded moments after their escape, blowing up a segment of the ring causing the entire Halo to fall apart; ultimately destroying Installation 04 | John-117 and Cortana escaped the subsequent detonation and the ring aboard a [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword fighter]] still docked in [[Launch Bay 7]]. ''Pillar of Autumn'' exploded moments after their escape, blowing up a segment of the ring causing the entire Halo to fall apart; ultimately destroying Installation 04. The detonation itself left a huge crater, almost covering the entire width of the Installation itself. | ||
