==Background==
The Ark research outpost was one of the few UNSC research bases built on the Ark after [[Operation: FAR STORM]] in [[2555]]. Its purpose was to study the Ark and its [[Sentinel]]s. The UNSC [[AI]] [[Isabel]] was installed there in order to manage logistics such as food supplies, life systems and power management{{Ref/Reuse|gamespot}}, while the [[Ark Security Detachment]] was responsible for the base's defense.<ref name="T-shirt">[https://www.halowaypointstore.com/p/halo_wars_2_warthog_schematic_premium_tee.html ''Halowaypointstore'': HALO WARS 2 WARTHOG SCHEMATIC PREMIUM TEE]</ref> The outpost was named after [[Henry Lamb]], a researcher who was killed during [[Operation: FAR STORM]].{{Ref/Reuse|The Signal}}

By [[2558]], the Ark research base had begun to observe the construction of a new [[Halo Array|Halo ring]] - [[Installation 09]] - within the [[Foundry (location)|Foundry]] at the heart of the megastructure. This information was relayed to UNSC in a status update prior to October of that year.{{Ref/Book|OSFM|Page=99}}

==History==
On [[2558#November|November 25, 2558]], the outpost was [[Attack on Installation 00|attacked]] by the [[Banished]], a mercenary organization led by the [[Jiralhanae]] warlord, [[Atriox]]. All base personnel were killed. However, [[Isabel]] managed to remain hidden from the Banished. She issued a distress beacon, which was later intercepted by the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, which had arrived over the Ark through unknown means after 28 years of drifting through space. [[Spartan-II]] [[Red Team]], consisting of [[Jerome-092]], [[Alice-130]] and [[Douglas-042]], was deployed to the Ark to investigate the beacon, where they came across Isabel. However, they were soon ambushed by Atriox and his troops. With [[Douglas-042]] wounded, the Spartans extracted Isabel and evacuated back to the ship, covering their exfiltration with an orbital bombardment. The outpost was subsequently destroyed by [[Archer missile]]s launched from the ''Spirit of Fire''.{{Ref/Reuse|The Signal}}
