The building's main atrium is four stories tall and centered around [[Pori Meteor]],{{Ref/Reuse|HPoL19}} a massive chunk of variegated rock crafted by the [[Forerunner]]s to be either a beacon or a power station, but to also look natural as to blend into the surrounding landscape. The atrium's floor is formed of striking marble with striations of mica and abalone-like shells, which shimmer in the room's lighting.{{Ref/Reuse|HPoL25}} At the back of the atrium is an elevator that can be taken either higher up in the structure or down into the sublevels, of which there are at least three. On sublevel three is another elevator—this one protected by two guards—that leads to the Forerunner way station three kilometers beneath Hannibal HQ's foundation.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HPoL28|HPoL|Chapter=28}} | The building's main atrium is four stories tall and centered around [[Pori Meteor]],{{Ref/Reuse|HPoL19}} a massive chunk of variegated rock crafted by the [[Forerunner]]s to be either a beacon or a power station, but to also look natural as to blend into the surrounding landscape.{{Ref/Reuse|HPoL25}} Now the centerpiece of the headquarters' atrium, the "meteor" is surrounded with carefully landscaped plants, accent lighting, and viewing benches.{{Ref/Reuse|HPoL19}} The atrium's floor is formed of striking marble with striations of mica and abalone-like shells, which shimmer in the room's lighting.{{Ref/Reuse|HPoL25}} At the back of the atrium is an elevator that can be taken either higher up in the structure or down into the sublevels, of which there are at least three.

The way station is situated in a massive subterranean cavern and is composed of a sleek gray alloy platform covering at least three acres, with glowing blue accents and symbols. The platform is anchored in place with large superstructures that reach up to pierce the bedrock above. A pair of [[light bridge]]s reach out from the main platform to meet a smaller platform with a terminal on the other side of the chamber, forming a semicircle.{{Ref/Reuse|HPoL28}} | The way station is situated in a massive subterranean cavern and is composed of a sleek gray alloy platform covering at least three acres, with glowing blue accents and symbols.
