On [[2553|November 28, 2553]], a renowned scientist and historian named [[Luther Mann]] discovered the location of Zeta Halo through cross-referencing [[Forerunner]] architecture on the [[shield world]] [[Trevelyan]]. ONI subsequently initiated the [[Zeta Halo project]] in [[2555]], sending a researcher detachment of approximately 300 scientists of multiple fields, including Mann and [[Henry Lamb]], to study the Halo along with hundreds of automated probes to scan and map out the installation. While inspecting the ring's custodial systems, Mann and Lamb discovered a Forerunner timer that they concluded was counting down to Installation 07's activation in five weeks.<ref name="hitd preview">[http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1476795851/ref=s9_simh_gw_p14_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=0ZDTBAZQPQQBZSSQ44VW&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=2079475242&pf_rd_i=desktop '''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''': ''Chapter 1'']</ref> Similar countdowns were reported on the other installations of the Array. The galactic threat prompted the deployment of a joint UNSC-Sangheili detachment to [[Installation 00]] in order to find a way to stop the activation.<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', Chapter 2</ref> | |||
As of [[2558]], the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] had implemented adequate containment and sterilization protocols within possible [[Flood]] infected zones on the installation. After the Swords of Sanghelios informed the [[UNSC]] of its containment efforts, human and Sangheili naval forces began monitoring the installation, ensuring the Flood didn't escape.<ref>[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postsm3003659_Catalog-Interaction.aspx#post3003659 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Catalog Interaction - Page 48'']</ref> | As of [[2558]], the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] had implemented adequate containment and sterilization protocols within possible [[Flood]] infected zones on the installation.
