{{Article quote|On the trail of the Harbinger, Chief and the Weapon exit the Conservatory into a Forerunner construct called the Spire. There they meet submonitor [[Adjutant Resolution]], who guides them through the ancient structure and reveals its purpose: the reconstruction of Zeta Halo. Master Chief orders the Weapon to halt the Reformation, enraging Adjutant Resolution and inciting a battle with the submonitor. Victorious, Chief and the Weapon initiate shutdown of the Spire, revealing a network of structures like it across the Ring. As the Spire collapses around them, the duo resolve to locate and neutralize the remaining Spires before Halo is once again made operable.}}
