 ==History==
-When the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} entered the underground section of the Shield World on [[2531#February|February 23, 2531]], the ancilla detected a "high order" [[Flood]] infection, as well as intrusion by [[human]]s, though the ancilla did not recognize the latter. The AI autonomously initiated "Stage 3 Defense Protocols", which included activating [[Sentinel]]s, [[Super Sentinel]]s, and cleansing rings to clear away the Flood and the "unknown alien intrusion".<ref name="Cleansing"/> It was most likely destroyed when the Shield World was obliterated by a supernova caused by ''Spirit of Fire'''s crew.

+{{Main|Battle of Shield 0459}}
+On [[2531#February|February 23, 2531]], when scanning the surface of Shield 0459, the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} accidentally initiated an automated docking mechanism and was subsequently pulled into one of the portals on the surface that led into the interior of the shield world. As the [[human]] ship made its way through the tunnel, the ancilla detected a "high order" [[Flood]] infection, as well as intrusion by humans, though the ancilla did not recognize the latter. The AI autonomously initiated "Stage 3 Defense Protocols", which included activating [[Sentinel]]s, [[Super Sentinel]]s, and cleansing rings to clear away the Flood and the "unknown alien intrusion".<ref name="Cleansing"/> It was most likely destroyed when the shield world was obliterated by a [[supernova]] caused by ''Spirit of Fire'''s crew.
 {{Conjecturalization}}
-This ancilla's voice did not resemble those of most other known Forerunner AIs, with the exception of [[05-032 Mendicant Bias]]. While ancillas like the [[Monitor]]s have more natural-sounding voices, this construct spoke in a robotic monotone. It is seemingly a Forerunner counterpart to a human [[Dumb artificial intelligence|"dumb" AI]], as it seems to only follow a strict programming and does not even take note of the presence of "[[Reclaimer]]s", as it only refers to them as "unknown aliens".
