The Ark research outpost was one of the few UNSC research bases built on the Ark after [[Operation: FAR STORM]] in [[2555]]. Its purpose was to study the Ark and its [[Sentinel]]s. The UNSC [[AI]] [[Isabel]] was installed there in order to manage logistics such as food supplies, life systems and power management.<ref name="gamespot"/> The outpost was named after [[Henry Lamb]], a researcher who was killed during [[Operation: FAR STORM]].<ref name="The Signal"/>

In [[2559]], the outpost was attacked by the [[Banished]], a mercenary organization led by the [[Jiralhanae]] warlord, [[Atriox]]. All base personnel were killed. However, Isabel managed to remain hidden from the Banished. She issued a distress beacon, which was later intercepted by the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, which had arrived over the Ark through unknown means after 28 years of drifting through space. [[Spartan-II]] [[Red Team]] was deployed to the Ark to investigate the beacon, where they came across Isabel. However, they were soon ambushed by Atriox and his troops. With [[Douglas-042]] wounded, the Spartans extracted Isabel and evacuated back to the ship, covering their exfiltration with an orbital bombardment. The outpost was subsequently destroyed by [[Archer missile]]s launched from the ''Spirit of Fire''.<ref name="The Signal"/>
