- Around this time, an unidentified alien vessel crash-landed in Sector 1215 of Installation 04. Sometime prior to the crash, the ship started broadcasting a distress signal repeating every 72.83 seconds.[1][2] After attempting to translate it, 343 Guilty Spark blocked the signal, as no communication revealing the location of any of the Halos was allowed.[1]
