Halo Installation 04's Control Room was the site that controlled all of the ring's operations.
Description
The control room is located in a subterrainian level below the surface of Halo Installation 04. The facility was built directly into a giant artificial cavern and protected by a set of massive doors.
Inside there is a large circular bridge that is lacking supports. The bridge ends in a circular walkway. Both the bridge and walkway are made out of a reflective metel. In the center of the walkway there is a hologram of Threshold, Basis, and the ring between the two.[1].
On the outside of the walkway there is a model of the Halo ring itself. It was thousands of feet across. The model displayed a detailed map of the terrain and slowly rotated.[2]
History
In 2552, after the UNSC ship Pillar of Autumn crashed landed on the ring, Covenant scouts came across the control room, presumably through use of the Silent Cartographer.
When the Master Chief John-117 came across the control room, he integrated Cortana into the interface. Absorbing the wealth of knowledge, she informed him of a terrible secret and sent the chief after Captain Keyes and his squad who were going after a Covenant weapons cache.
Later, Halo's Monitor, 343 Guilty Spark, brought the Chief back to the control room in order to activate the ring. When he learned what the ring's true function was, the Chief yanked Cortana out of the panel and raced to stop the activation process.
Gameplay
The location appears twice in Halo: Combat Evolved.
