Phoenix Logs/The Ark/The Control Room


 * The Ark has several supraluminal communication towers with the purpose of
 * transmitting data to and from the weapon installations that make up the Halo
 * Array.


 * Each Halo has a designated Control Room which activates the Halo's weapon
 * systems upon receiving the data, as well as emergency shutdown protocols to
 * disable the systems and halt the Halo's activation.


 * Like the Cartographer, these Control Rooms are often protected by a large
 * energy barrier and patrolled by high security Sentinels to protect from misuse.
 * The Control Room is integral to the maintenance of the Halo's weapon systems,
 * and the interior leads deep down to the Halo's superstructure in a maze of
 * winding tunnels and shifting walls.
