During the [[Installation 07 conflict]], the [[Banished]] and the [[Harbinger]] sought to utilize the [[Reformation]] to restore the [[Silent Auditorium (location)|Silent Auditorium]], which had been destroyed when [[Cortana]] sacrificed herself to stop [[Atriox]] from gaining control of [[Zeta Halo]].

At the same time, [[Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief]] [[John-117]] and his [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] companion, [[The Weapon]], headed to the Reformation Spire nearest to the [[Conservatory (location)|Conservatory]], where they had first encountered the Harbinger. After defeating the Banished forces surrounding the Spire, the Chief entered the structure through its gravity lift. Once inside, he and the Weapon were greeted by Zeta Halo's Sub-Monitor, [[Adjutant Resolution]], who led them to the Spire's Observation Platform. When the Chief learned about the Spire's purpose, the [[Spartan-II program|Spartan-II]] ordered the Weapon to shut it down. In response, Adjutant Resolution deemed the pair a threat to the Reformation and attacked them. After the Chief defeated Adjutant Resolution, the Weapon discovered that multiple Spires were being deployed. She also discovered that the Harbinger was attempting to activate the Spire network from a remote location, but that the Spires were resisting the latter's efforts because the protocol used to summon them was only partially correct.{{Ref/Quest|HI|Connections|Spire (Halo Infinite level)|Quote=The protocol that triggered all this wasn't exactly correct.

[[Fernando Esparza]] managed to safely catch the Chief in the Pelican's troop bay.{{Ref/Reuse|Spire}}
