Phoenix Logs/The Ark/Henry Lamb Research Outpost


 * The Henry Lamb Research outpost was the base of a UNSC scientific research
 * expedition to learn about the Ark, both in the interest of scientific advancement
 * and self-preservation from future Halo threats.


 * The expedition was spurred on by the re-activation of the existing Halo array in
 * 2555 by the Ark's rampant Monitor, Tragic Solitude. A team travelled to the Ark
 * and stopped Tragic Solitude's plan to aggressively mine the Earth for materials
 * to rebuild the Ark, which had been damaged as a result of the battle that
 * ended the Human-Covenant War.


 * In 2557, a new team travelled through the portal in
 * New Mombasa in their ship
 * Eden Rising to set up base and activate dormant Retriever Sentinels in order to
 * start repairing the Ark. These researchers established an outpost expansion in February of
 * 2558. In October of that year, the portal back to Earth closed,
 * followed shortly thereafter by the arrival of the Banished fleet. The base and it's
 * outlying facilities were all razed by the Banished attack.
