During the [[Installation 07 conflict]], the [[Banished]] and the [[Harbinger]] sought to utilize the Reformation to restore the [[Silent Auditorium (location)|Silent Auditorium]], which had been destroyed when [[Cortana]] sacrificed herself to stop [[Atriox]] from gaining control of [[Zeta Halo]]. On [[2560#May|May 28, 2560]], the Harbinger kidnapped [[Despondent Pyre]], the [[Monitor]] of Zeta Halo, and extracted her [[encephalon]]. Using the routines contained within Despondent Pyre's encephalon, the Harbinger summoned dozens of [[Reformation Spire]]s across the fragmented section of Zeta Halo. [[Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief]] [[John-117]] and his [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] companion, [[The Weapon]], gained access to one of the Reformation Spires and learned of its purpose. When the [[Spartan-II program|Spartan-II]] ordered the Weapon to shut down the Spire, Zeta Halo's Sub-Monitor, [[Adjutant Resolution]], who was unaware of the Harbinger's true intentions, deemed the pair a threat to the Installation and attacked them. After the Chief defeated Adjutant Resolution, the Weapon discovered that multiple Spires were being deployed. She also discovered that the Harbinger was having trouble activating the Spires, since the protocol she used to summon them wasn't entirely correct. The Weapon managed to remove the current Spire from the network, as well as trace the source of the activation attempts to the [[Command Spire]]. However, this not only caused the Spire they were standing on to start sinking back into the ground, but it also alerted the Harbinger to the Weapon's existence.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Spire|HI|Connections|Spire (Halo Infinite level)}}

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, effectively 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}}
