[[Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief]] [[John-117]] and his [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] companion, [[The Weapon]], entered the Reformation Spire nearest to the [[Conservatory (location)|Conservatory]], where they had first encountered the Harbinger. After learning of the Spire's purpose, the [[Spartan-II program|Spartan-II]] ordered the Weapon to shut it down. In response, Zeta Halo's Sub-Monitor, [[Adjutant Resolution]], who was unaware of the Harbinger's true intentions, deemed the pair a threat to the Reformation and attacked them. After the Chief defeated Adjutant Resolution, the Weapon discovered that multiple Spires were being deployed. She also discovered that the Harbinger was attempting to activate the Spire network from a remote location, but that the Spires were resisting the latter's efforts because the protocol used to summon them was only partially correct.{{Ref/Quest|HI|Connections|Spire (Halo Infinite level)|Quote=The protocol that triggered all this wasn't exactly correct.
