During the [[Fall of High Charity|fall]] of High Charity in [[2552#November|November 2552]], data on the Garden of Reverent Contemplation was captured and transmitted to remote nodes by {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}, even after captured by the [[Flood]], in an effort to accumulate as much knowledge as possible on High Charity and the nearby [[Installation 05]] as possible before the ship was completely lost. This captured data would later be used to create a [[War Games]] simulation for [[Spartan]] supersoldiers to allow them to hone their combat skills with the chamber's impressive symmetry and multiple levels.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} Like the rest of High Charity, the Gardens fell to the Flood and were eventually destroyed when the vessel crash-landed on [[Installation 00]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[The Covenant (level)|The Covenant]]''</ref>
