Whenever a Halo Ring suffers damage, its [[Sentinel]]s (assuming there are any left) will almost immediately begin to assess the damage and initiate repairs.{{Ref/Game|Id=OTM|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Reverie 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Reverie #04 - On The Mend}} However, depending on the severity of the damage, this is natural repair process can potentially take millions of years to complete.{{Ref/Quest|Id=fobmission|HI|Reformation|FOB Juliet}} The Reformation is meant to greatly accelerate the repair process. During the Reformation, multiple [[Reformation Spire]]s will emerge from the surface of the Ring, in close proximity to the damaged areas.

Realizing that the Weapon was helping the Master Chief, the Harbinger sought to hijack the AI and utilize her routines in conjunction with those from Despondent Pyre's encephalon to finally activate the Spires and begin the Reformation. As part of this plan, she altered the Forerunner sequence needed to open the Command Spire's door, thereby making it impossible to open. The sabotage forced the Chief and the Weapon to gather data from a network of [[Forerunner]] [[beam emitter|communication beacons]] in order to reconstruct a pure version of the sequence. While collecting data from the beacons, the Weapon sensed the Harbinger's presence within the network and eventually realized the latter's intentions. Since the Spires still hadn't been activated yet, the Master Chief initially wanted to abort their current plan, thus leaving them and the Harbinger in a stalemate. However, the Weapon believed that the Harbinger would eventually find a way to activate the Spires on her own, so they had no choice but to finish gathering the data needed to enter the Command Spire.{{Ref/Quest|Id=The Sequence|HI|Reformation|The Sequence}} | Realizing that the Weapon was helping the Master Chief, the Harbinger sought to hijack the AI and utilize her routines in conjunction with those from Despondent Pyre's encephalon to finally activate the Spires and begin the Reformation.

Later, upon reaching the [[Nexus (location)|Nexus]], a facility directly beneath the Command Spire, the Weapon attempted to activate the [[gravity lift]] that would take them into the Command Spire itself. The Harbinger took the opportunity to hack the Weapon in an effort to use her to start the Reformation. The Weapon, in turn, used her link to the Harbinger to try to steal Despondent Pyre's encephalon. Despite the Master Chief's attempt to delete the Weapon - an effort which the Weapon herself stopped - both the Harbinger and the Weapon succeeded in their respective goals. This caused friction to develop between the Chief and the Weapon, with the Chief being angry that the Weapon had stopped him from deleting her and thus allowed the Reformation to begin, while the Weapon - who believed the Harbinger would have found a way to start the Reformation regardless - was angry that the Chief had tried to delete her in the first place rather than trust her.{{Ref/ | Later, upon reaching the [[Nexus (location)|Nexus]], a facility directly beneath the Command Spire, the Weapon attempted to activate the [[gravity lift]] that would take them into the Command Spire itself.

With the Reformation underway, the Spires began churning out building blocks which were sent out to repair the Silent Auditorium. The Chief fought his way to the Command Spire's observation platform, where the Weapon used Despondent Pyre's encephalon to shut down all the Reformation Spires, thus ending the Reformation. By then, however, enough of the Auditorium had been restored, such that the Harbinger could now use it to locate and free [[Endless|her people]].{{Ref/Reuse|The Command Spire}} | With the Reformation underway, the Spires began churning out building blocks which were sent out to repair the Silent Auditorium.
