Phoenix Logs/Forerunner/Terminus


 * This Forerunner structure is a vital node in the Ark's defences and must be
 * preserved at all costs.


 * After the Halo Array eradicated the Flood threat and the Forerunners
 * disappeared, the Ark lay dormant and untouched for millennia.


 * When the Human-Covenant war spilled over onto the Ark, the installation's
 * threat assessment systems began an exhaustive recording and indexing of
 * events in an effort to anticipate dangers and prepare adequate
 * countermeasures to deal with similar challenges in the future.


 * These threat assessments compare modern battle records against all
 * catalogued historical conflicts, cross-referencing them with updated information
 * and calculating probable outcomes. The systems performing these assessments
 * are powered by the Terminus structures, the loss of which could result in the
 * corruption of centuries of analysis, compromising the Ark's long-term ability to
 * defend itself.
