Due to the damage dealt to the Ark's life support systems, the RCTs were forced to brave extremely hostile conditions on the surface in search of the signal's origin. Contact was lost with all teams after eight days; only RCT-06 returned, having sustained heavy casualties. However, they succeeded at recovering the beacon's source - the remains of [[343 Guilty Spark]], the former [[monitor]] of [[Halo Array|Halo]] [[Installation 04]].<ref name="provenance"/> | ||
The science team questioned the damaged monitor on his origins, who obliged the humans due to their authority as [[Reclaimer]]s. Over the course of the interrogation, Spark breached the ''Rubicon'''s firewall several times, much to the team's dismay. Spark powered down after concluding his story and his casing was subsequently ejected into space; unknown to the crew he had already transferred his consciousness to the shipboard computers. After subduing the onboard AI and taking control of the ship, he explained to the crew that he was going to resume his quest to find the [[Lifeshaper]] and to restore his old friends, [[Riser]] and [[Vinnevra]], back to life. Asserting that the Lifeshaper was still alive, he put the crew to sleep and had the ''Rubicon'' proceed to her location.<ref>'''[[Halo: Primordium]]'''</ref> | The science team questioned the damaged monitor on his origins, who obliged the humans due to their authority as [[Reclaimer]]s.
