Eventually, the stellar coordinates of [[Installation 04]] ~~was~~ discovered through the combination of a [[Sigma Octanus IV Artifact|crystal artifact]] on [[Sigma Octanus IV]] and a [[Babd Catha Forerunner complex|huge Forerunner artifact]] buried under the surface of [[Reach]]. The coordinates were utilized by the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}'s shipboard [[AI]] [[Cortana]] to escape from the [[Fall of Reach]]. The cruiser arrived over the Installation's orbit and was subsequently shot down by Covenant ships. Most of the ship's combat personnel escaped and made landfall on the artificial construct, triggering the [[Battle of Installation 04]].

During their investigations on Installation 04, the Covenant encountered a [[Flood containment facility]] and unknowingly released the dormant Flood; they quickly, but only partially, reestablished containment. Soon, a squad of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] led by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] accidentally broke quarantine again, expecting to find a large Covenant weapons cache. The human-waged guerrilla war quickly turned into a massive four-way battle between [[UNSC]] forces, the Covenant, [[Sentinel]]s led by [[343 Guilty Spark]], and the Flood.

Soon, 343 Guilty Spark, John-117, and [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] discovered that the Ark had been constructing a [[Installation 04B|new Installation 04]], to replace the one which had previously been destroyed. This new installation was only days from being completed. The humans decided to activate the new ring to stop the Flood, resulting in the incomplete ring destroying itself, along with the Ark.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 14''</ref>
