During the [[Battle of Tribute]] in [[2552#August|August 2552]], the freighter ''[[Floral Express]]'' fled the planet while carrying colonial refugees. Following a random [[slipspace]] trajectory per the [[Cole Protocol]], the ship arrived near Installation 03 on [[2552#October|October 8]]. Upon returning to Earth, the crew was detained by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] for possible violations of the Cole Protocol.

On [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]], during the [[Battle of Installation 05|Battle]] of [[Installation 05]], [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae|Chieftain]] [[Tartarus]] of the [[Covenant]] activated Installation 05, though [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Sangheili]] forces managed to terminate the firing sequence before the Halo could fire. As per fail-safe protocol in the event of an unexpected shutdown, a signal was sent to Installation 01 and the rest of the Halos from Installation 05, placing all Halos of the array on standby mode, ready for remote activation from Installation 00. A readout from Installation 05's [[Control Room|control room]] showed that Installation 01 was fully prepared to fire on demand.<ref name="enc"/><ref name="great journey"/> | On [[2552#November|November 3, 2552]], during the [[Battle of Installation 05|Battle]] of [[Installation 05]], [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae|Chieftain]] [[Tartarus]] of the [[Covenant]] activated Installation 05, though [[United Nations Space Command]] and [[Sangheili]] forces managed to terminate the firing sequence before the Halo could fire.
