'''343 Guilty Spark''': 25,000 light years. That's the effective range of this station. According to the star charts archived on board this installation, I estimate that there are 3,792 worlds capable of sustaining biological sentient life withing that 25,000 light year range. In reality it may be significantly more than that. And if the full array was tuned and activated by Installation 00, the harmonics of the overlapping waves would magnify that effect exponentially, cascading out to cover every know star system and well into the Voids beyond. | '''343 Guilty Spark''': 25,000 light years.

*'''343 Guilty Spark''': I shall renew efforts to make contact with the others rings immediately. This "Covenant" may be useful to me, although I don't think they fully understand what they claim to seek. Still, it makes no difference to me what they believe, as long as they do what must be done. Hmmm...I sound like ''her''! | *'''343 Guilty Spark''': I shall renew efforts to make contact with the others rings immediately.

They would most certainly restore order with their trademark lethality, although...that would mean [[The Didact|''he'']] would have to be here, too. And without the Librarian around to temper his rage, well... These Reclaimers might almost prefer the Flood." | *'''343 Guilty Spark''': "But what I would not give to have earned a single company of [[Promethean]]s here right now.
