'''686 Ebullient Prism''' was a [[Forerunner]] [[AI]] construct, and the [[Monitor]] of [[Line Installation 1-4]]. Prism's functions included collecting and inspecting any specimens captured for evidence of immunity to infestation by the [[Flood]]. Assistance from the specimen when inspecting was not required to be voluntary according to protocol.<ref name="issue2">'''[[Halo: Blood Line]]''', ''[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 2|Issue 2]]''</ref>

==Biography==
==Biography==
In [[2552]], Prism's [[Gatherer]]s had obtained a member of a respective species that had crashed on the moon, which included [[Reff 'Talamee]], a [[Sangheili]]; [[Black-One]], a [[human]]; an [[Unggoy]] and a [[Mgalekgolo]]. Prism introduced himself to the subjects and explained that they were to be vivisected and catalogued for study to determine if any of them possessed immunity to the Flood. The Mgalekgolo was vivisected first; although the species was found to be immune to the Flood, Prism stated that they lacked mass and cognitive capability to "satisfy protocol". Prism was about to vivisect Black-One when Reff insisted that the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] did not believe in the [[Great Journey]]. Prism, interested in Reff's garbled understanding of [[Forerunner]] protocol, vivisected the Unggoy instead.{{Ref/Reuse|issue2}}

Prism announced himself to the subjects and explained that they shall be dissected to determine if any of them possessed immunity to the Flood. The Mgalekgolo, being a hive organism, was immune to the Flood, but lacked mass and cognitive capability to satisfy, therefore, he liquefied the Mgalekgolo. Prism was about to turn attention to Black-One, when Reff insisted that the [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan]] did not believe in the [[Great Journey]]. Prism instead dissected the Unggoy.<ref name="issue2"/>


Before Prism could continue, he was alerted to the intrusion of the rest of [[Team Black]] and [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] forces, who had formed a temporary alliance to rescue their comrades.<ref>'''Halo: Blood Line''', ''[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 3|Issue 3]]''</ref> Prism remotely hacked into [[Victor-101]]'s helmet and tricked him into believing that his fellow teammates are Covenant attackers. Prism also sent out a false distress signal to [[Black-Two]], who rushed from the remains of ''[[UNSC Long Time Coming|Long Time Coming]]'' to the Line Installation, before tricking Victor into shooting her. He also infiltrated [[Iona]]'s systems through her unsecured "ghost" interface, intending to completely destroy her. Prism chased Iona through Victor's [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]] systems, using virtual weapons against her. However, Prism became distracted with a visual depiction of Team Black's training days, composed of data from Victor's partially altered logs.<ref name="issue4">'''Halo: Blood Line''', ''[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 4|Issue 4]]''</ref>

Back in the physical world, Black-One insisted on Prism putting her out of her misery, which the Monitor was gladly willing to accomplish. However, Black-One used her helmet to deflect a laser right at her spare ammo pack sitting on a Gatherer, causing it to explode and crash into her cell. She then used the Gatherer's weapon to free Reff. Prism attempted to stop them, only for One to fire at him, forcing Prism to withdraw from Victor's armor. Summoning [[Sentinel]]s to his aid, Prism chased the Spartan and Sangheili throughout the Installation. One was able to destroy the Sentinels, only for Prism to shoot her down. Reff, taking her weapon, took out Prism's eye, declaring him to be a "false Oracle". They then evaded the Monitor in the Installation's control center.{{Ref/Reuse|issue4}} Prism, assembling swarms of Sentinels and Gatherers, soon found them and demanded that they step away from the controls. He vaporized Reff from the legs up, as he was proclaiming about how he was the "Chosen One". Team Black reunited and were able to push Prism back, before using the Installation's main weapon to vaporize the Monitor.<ref>'''Halo: Blood Line''', ''[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 5|Issue 5]]''</ref>

==Personality==
Unlike most [[monitors]], Ebullient Prism has a much more hostile demeanor, shown by his sadistic pleasure in vivisecting his prisoners.


==Trivia==
==Trivia==
686 Ebullient Prism shares many similarities with [[343 Guilty Spark]], the Monitor of [[Installation 04]].  
*686 Ebullient Prism shares many similarities with [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]], the Monitor of [[Installation 04]]. The '"686" in Ebullient Prism is a reference to the "343" in Guilty Spark as it is double the number. Like 343 Guilty Spark, Prism is unethical in a sense as he has no regard for a being's inspection consent. In addition, after being severely damaged by Reff using a Sentinel Beam, Prism said the exact same line ("My eye! Do you mean to blind me?") as 343 Guilty Spark in a similar situation.<ref name="issue4"/>
*"686" is double "343".
*Like Guilty Spark, Ebullient Prism has no regard for a being's consent to inspection.  
*After being severely damaged by Reff using a Sentinel beam, Ebullient Prism quoted Guilty Spark; ''"My eye! Do you mean to blind me?"'' in a similar situation.{{Ref/Reuse|issue4}}
