The first time the [[High Prophet of Truth]] and [[Tartarus]] are ever mentioned in the [[Halo]] universe is when they are in the Step of Silence, which is the last chapter of [[Halo: First Strike]]<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], page 338-9.</ref>. They discuss the events of [[Installation 04]], as well as the fate of the future [[Arbiter]] and [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]]<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], page 340.</ref>. The Step is also possibly seen in Halo 2 when the player enters the room after the Prophet of Truth announces the message about the Flood not withstanding the might of the Covenant. If the player looks up, he/she will see dozens of glowing blue shards hanging from the ceiling. | The first time the [[High Prophet of Truth]] and [[Tartarus]] are ever mentioned in the [[Halo]] universe is when they are in the Step of Silence, which is the last chapter of [[Halo: First Strike]]<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], page 338-9.</ref>.
