Installation 08 was designed as a very similar replacement to [[Installation 04]], or Alpha Halo, in order to ensure that the [[Forerunner]]s' Halo network was intact, and therefore able to encompass the entire [[Milky Way]] galaxy. | Installation 08 was designed as a very similar replacement to [[Installation 04]], or Alpha Halo, in order to ensure that the [[Forerunner]]s' Halo network was intact, and therefore able to encompass the entire [[Milky Way]] galaxy. | ||

As Spark predicted, the new installation was not ready to fire, and it began to shake itself apart and disintegrate. John and Thel escaped through the second [[phase pulse generator]] chamber and proceeded towards the ''Dawn'' in Johnson's Warthog as the shockwave of the activation caused explosive reactions all across the incomplete sections of the installation. John-117 and Thel 'Vadam barely managed to reach the ''Dawn'' before the Installation fired and subsequently exploded. Most of the Flood were destroyed in the explosion or perished from the ring's sterilization pulse, including the [[Gravemind]], while the Ark itself suffered severe damage.{{Ref/Reuse|Halo}} | As Spark predicted, the new installation was not ready to fire, and it began to shake itself apart and disintegrate.
