*The ''Step of Silence'' can be seen in the [[Halo 2]] during the level [[High Charity (Level)|High Charity]]. If the player looks up in the room with the two beam rifles in a crate, a carbine, and a swarm of Drones, they will see dozens of glowing blue and green shards hanging from the ceiling. There are exactly 76 shards in all, 19 shards in 4 rows. Each of these shards represents one planet glassed by the Covenant.
