Meanwhile, the [[The Flood|Flood]] were readying their forces against Truth: If the UNSC and [[Sangheili|Elites]] could not prevent Truth from firing the Halos, then the Flood would, and they began to scale the "outer reaches of the Citadel", joining forces with SPARTAN-117 and the Arbiter in a desperate attempt to deactivate the Halos. While Truth continued to sermonize, the Master Chief, the Arbiter, and a Flood swarm attacked the Chieftain and the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant Loyalists]] defending Truth, clearing the way for them to reach Truth. Upon reaching Truth, the Master Chief and the Arbiter find Johnson closing the eyelids of a now deceased Miranda Keyes. The Master Chief then quickly deactivated the Halos before they could complete their firing sequences, to Truth's dismay. The Arbiter then killed the defenseless Prophet of Truth with his [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]].

Having escaped the Flood, the Master Chief saw the cryptic figure of [[Cortana]], and he tentatively followed the flickering figure to an open balcony where he activated a panel, shortly after which a massive ring rose from the center of Installation 00. 343 Guilty Spark announced that this was another Halo installation, constructed by the Ark's foundries to replace the destroyed [[Installation 04]] and asked Master Chief what he would do. Master Chief replied that he would activate it, and 343 Guilty Spark hurried off excitedly to make the final preparations. The Arbiter asked the Master Chief exactly how he planned to do such a thing, due to the fact that he will need an [[Activation Index]] in order to activate Halo. The Master Chief then looked at the crashed hulk of Flood-infested [[High Charity]] nearby, where the real [[Cortana]] is trapped, knowing full well that Cortana has possession of the Index from the first Halo ring.
