The purpose of the destruction of all sentient life is to starve the Flood, who cannot be stopped otherwise. The Index is brusquely '''T'''-shaped, with a faint green glow emanating from a stripe on each side. (In Halo 2 the index not only glows green but it also glows a blue colour.) It also seems to be able to be stored in a network, meaning that it is made out of an advanced material that can be transformed from matter to information at will. Halo cannot be activated unless the Index is inserted into the control panel in Halo's control room. The "Sacred Icon" is first seen in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]] where, with the help of [[343 Guilty Spark]], SPARTAN-117 locates and attempts to activate Halo, but he is stopped just before turning the key by Cortana. Cortana then begins to argue with Guilty Spark over the Index. After John-117 broke up their argument, Cortana explained to him the true function of Halo. | The purpose of the destruction of all sentient life is to starve the Flood, who cannot be stopped otherwise.

The Index appears again in [[Halo 2]], although it is for [[Installation 05]], when it is taken by [[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]], but she and [[Sergeant Johnson]] lose it to [[Tartarus]] and his [[Brutes]] when they are ambushed. [[Tartarus]] then takes Keyes to [[Delta Halo]]'s Control Room where he tries to force her to activate the ring, but fails and activates it himself (by forcing Miranda's hand) when the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] and Johnson arrive. The Index is finally reclaimed by Miranda Keyes, who snatches it from the main platform after the Arbiter kills the [[Brute Chieftain]]. | The Index appears again in [[Halo 2]], although it is for [[Installation 05]], when it is taken by [[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]], but she and [[Sergeant Johnson]] lose it to [[Tartarus]] and his [[Brutes]] when they are ambushed.
