''Part 4'' of the report details the recovery of a damaged [[343 Guilty Spark]] from [[Installation 00]] by the {{UNSCShip|Rubicon}}. The statement made by Guilty Spark to a UNSC science team forms the basis of the novel ''[[Halo: Primordium]]''.

By reverting back to [[Project ORION|ORION]] protocols, the sins of the previous administrations have been averted this time around. Unlike [[SPARTAN-II]] and [[SPARTAN-III]], which will likely face severe ethical scrutiny in the years to come, the [[SPARTAN-IV]] project was centered on properly screened recruits, both career military veterans and young soldiers who showed significant promise. After passing a rigorous series of tests, admission to the program was a matter of discretion, not compulsion.

Habitability sustainment systems were still active in some locations, but were operating intermittently and in a state of disrepair – a factor that generated extremely volatile weather conditions. Some indigenous [if it can be called that] fauna may have survived the event, but RCTs were strictly advised to avoid all potentially hostile life forms.

After 8.4 days, all contact with RCTs was severed. Only one [[RCT-06|[RCT-06]]] returned, suffering extensive casualties. They brought back a [[343 Guilty Spark|severely damaged armature]], which appeared to be the original source of the signal. Initially, there was a strong suspicion of this armature’s origin, but local science teams [[Halo: Primordium|undertook an aggressive node cultivation process to withdraw data from the device]] and determine, with veracity, [[Installation 04|its actual origin]].

==Production notes==
*In part 4, the statement made by Guilty Spark to the science teams attempting to withdraw data from him is the basis of the novel ''[[Halo: Primordium]]''.
*Similar to the [[Data Drop]], which led up to the release of ''[[Halo: Glasslands]]'', the Eleventh Hour reports were used to promote ''[[Halo 4]]'' and to provide more insight into the contemporary state of the galaxy. Like the Data Drop, one installment was featured in each weekly ''Halo Bulletin'', beginning with the October 10, 2012 edition, the text was hidden with invisible text.
*The third, fourth, and fifth reports in document form were found during the [[Section 3 ARG|Section 3 Alternate Reality Game]], hidden within PNG files. <ref>[https://forums.halowaypoint.com/yaf_postst200355_---ELEVENTH-HOUR-Final-Transmission--5-5.aspx '''Halo Waypoint forums''': ''// ELEVENTH HOUR FINAL TRANSMISSION [5/5<nowiki>]</nowiki> //'']</ref>
