The Conspectus network and its data streams are accessible from numerous information hubs located throughout the ring.{{Ref/Reuse|rp30}} A Conspectus network hub is a long underground chamber about ten meters high, with a console in the center of the room and numerous translucent screens streaming data—each screen has several layers of data.{{Ref/Novel|Id=rp31|RP|31}} [[Reclaimer]]s can retrieve data from the screens by physically plucking the string of code; the code then transforms into a sylloge node,{{Ref/Reuse|rp30}} a small rectangular [[Forerunner]] device that can fit into the palm of a [[human]]'s hand.{{Ref/Novel|Id=rp28|RP|28}} However, a sylloge node must be decrypted in ports at the ring's [[Cartographer]]s or the [[Conservatory (location)|Conservatory]].{{Ref/Reuse|rp30}} | |||

Circa [[2558]], [[Kate Stalling]], a member of the second exploratory expedition force sent from the [[United Nations Space Command]] to Installation 07 | Circa [[2558]], the Conspectus network was discovered by [[Kate Stalling]], an [[ONI]] operative and a member of [[Zeta Halo project|the second exploratory expedition force]] sent from the [[United Nations Space Command]] to Installation 07.{{Ref/Reuse|rp22}} However, at some point after the [[Banished]] launched an assault on the ring in [[2559#December|December 2559]],{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=25}} Stalling was captured by the Banished. For months, her captors, the [[Sangheili]] [[Blademaster]] [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] and the [[Jiralhanae]] [[Bloodstars#Banished|Bloodstar]] [[Gorian]], tortured Stalling. They stole her research with the intent to take control of the ring's defensive systems.{{Ref/Reuse|rp22}} | ||
Gorian and 'Rdomnai found one of the network hubs | On [[2560#April|April 26, 2560]], Gorian and 'Rdomnai found one of the network hubs, they forced a human prisoner of war to extract a sylloge node. Shortly after, they were ambushed by [[Spartan]] [[Bonita Stone]], who managed to snatch the node. During the ensuing fight, although Stone was killed,[[Ouco|her AI]] copied the data and corrupted the original recovered by 'Rdomnai, rendering it useless for the Banished. The copied data was later found by Stone's squadmate [[Nina Kovan]], along with [[Boat crew|a group of UNSC survivors]] in May.{{Ref/Reuse|rp30}} During [[Battle of the beacon tower|a battle at a beacon tower]] that followed, the humans sent a supraluminal message containing that data—including the ring's location—into human-occupied space, in hopes of the UNSC sending reinforcements to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} forces stranded on the ring.{{Ref/Novel|Id=rp35|RP|35}} | ||
