Each Halo ring can be activated individually by a [[Reclaimer]], also placing the other installations in standby mode, or they can all be activated simultaneously from Installation 00. In the event of a major Flood outbreak, an installation's monitor will seek out a Reclaimer if available, whom they will enlist to aid them. It will [[Slipspace translocation|teleport]] them to the installation's Library and will assist the individual in retrieving the Index. The monitor then stores the Index within its data arrays for safe transportation, lest the Reclaimer fall prey to the Flood before they can activate the installation. Once at the control room, the Reclaimer is given back the Index and must insert it into [[the Core]] in order to begin the activation sequence. At any point during the charging sequence, a Reclaimer is able to abort the firing by removing the Index from the Core.<ref name="great journey"/> | Each Halo ring can be activated individually by a [[Reclaimer]], also placing the other installations in standby mode, or they can all be activated simultaneously from Installation 00.
