The Prophet of Mercy refers to the activation index of Installation 05 as "the key", and it does bear luminous green strips. The role of the Guardian of the Luminous Key could have been to secure the index and bring it to the control room to activate Halo, as is later undertaken by Thel 'Vadam and Tartarus.
