The Silent Auditorium is the facility on Installation 07 in which the Forerunners had enacted judgement upon the Xalanyn. The Xalanyn could not defend themselves and stood silently as the Forerunners imprisoned them. Despondent Pyre was instructed by the Grand Edict to experiment on the Xalanyn to learn the extent of what their kind could endure.^[3]

Centuries later, thanks to the partial repairs made by the Reformation, the Harbinger was able to access the Silent Auditorium and attempted to open a connection between the Auditorium and an unknown location on the ring by way of a carrier wave. The signal itself was noted as being sentient and was searching the ring. The Weapon was able to intercept this signal being transmitted from the three statues that decorated the central chamber. However, once the Harbinger access the third and final transmitter, the Weapon noted that a presence on the Installation was assisting her and as she attempted to intercept it.^[4]

Ultimately, the Harbinger was able to send a small strange item to Atriox so he could unlock the Xalanyn Cylix chamber. After the Harbinger's death, the Silent Auditorium quickly began to break down, but not before a mysterious slipspace stream opened up, sending Master Chief 3 days into the future.
