We need to buy some time, in case the [[343 Guilty Spark|Monitor]] or his [[Sentinel|Sentinels]] find a way to activate [[Halo]]'s final weapon without the [[Index]]. The machinery in these canyons are [[Halo]]'s primary firing mechanisms. They consist of three phase pulse generators that amplify [[Halo]]'s signal, and allow it to fire deep into space. The power levels are enormous. I can't even begin to calculate the pulse's range. So, if we damage or destroy these generators, the [[343 Guilty Spark|monitor]] will need to repair them before [[Halo]] can be used. That should buy us some time. I'm marking the location of the nearest pulse generator with a nav point. We need to move in and neutralize the device." | ||

'''Cortana:''' "That's the pulse generator. The center core is the signal amplifier. That's what we need to shut down. We need to interrupt the pulse generator's energy stream. I've adjusted your shield system so that it will deliver an EMP burst to disrupt the generator. You will need to walk into the beam, to trigger it. The EMP blast should neutralize the generator. But it will also drain your shields, and you will be vulnerable until they recharge." | '''[[Cortana]]:''' "That's the pulse generator. The center core is the signal amplifier.
