'Vadamee fought several Honor Guard Brutes before facing Tartarus, who had forced Miranda Keyes to activate Installation 05. Attempting to open Tartarus' eyes, the Thel asked [[343 Guilty Spark]] what Halo's true purpose was. The Monitor replied that the Halos were built "to destroy all sentient life within three radii of the galactic core," as a weapon of last resort against the Flood. The Forerunners had not transcended into gods, but rather died as a final sacrifice to ensure the defeat of the ancient parasite.

With this revelation, the Arbiter attempted to convince Tartarus to see reason. The Chieftain however, remained loyal to the Prophets. In the battle that followed, the Installation was activated. With the firing process enabled, the Arbiter, with sniper support from [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]] killed Tartarus after a prolonged firefight. Miranda Keyes then rushed to remove the Index, preventing the activation of the array.  The shutdown, however, activated a fail safe system; the rest of the Halos were set to standby mode, and could only be activated remotely from [[Installation 00]]. 'Vadamee then escaped the Flood-infested installation with the surviving humans and Sangheili.
