Political and military information

Affiliation:

Forerunner ecumene

Functionality:

Oversees Flood containment facility on Installation 05

 

This unidentified ancilla is a Forerunner construct responsible for monitoring a containment facility used to inter Flood specimens on Installation 05. It resembles a standard monitor, though is embedded into the ceiling rails of the facility and unable to move freely.[1] The ancilla's precise functions are unknown, though it is presumably a adjutant submonitor responsible for handling tasks below the purview of Installation 05's monitor 2401 Penitent Tangent.

The ancilla may be the construct which filed the Cold Storage Reports detailing Penitent Tangent's lax handling of the Flood outbreak on Installation 05.

In-game information[edit]

Halo 3[edit]

The monitor is attached to a pair of rails on the ceiling of the main room in the multiplayer map Cold Storage. It serves as an invulnerable piece of immobile scenery. It follows the movements of any players in the room, but stops paying attention to players when they leave the room. However, it will not track players in edit mode unless it sees them prior to entering this mode. It is capable of seeing players using active camouflage. It will continue to track the bodies of dead players provided if no one else is in the room.
