After [[The First Battle of Earth]], the [[High Prophet of Regret]] sent the coordinates of [[Installation 05]] to ''High Charity''.

Eventually, the Forerunner ship at High Charity's core took off, with both the Prophet of Truth and Master Chief inside, leaving behind [[Cortana]]. It appears that the Covenant forces on both sides completely abandoned ''High Charity'' afterwards, and it was completely infested by the Flood, as the Flood organism known as [[Gravemind]] took complete control of the Sanctum of the Hierarchs, using the Council Chamber itself as his "throne room." | Eventually, the Forerunner ship at High Charity's core took off, with both the Prophet of Truth and Master Chief inside, leaving behind [[Cortana]].
