The ring was also not connected to the other Installations, allowing a tactical pulse to be fired without triggering the other 6 Installations. It is never revealed if this is an option available to completed installations as well although it is likely Installation 04 (II) merely had not been set up with this network yet, as it was incomplete; a logical precaution considering the effects of a misfire. | The ring was also not connected to the other Installations, allowing a tactical pulse to be fired without triggering the other 6 Installations.

Slipspace travel is a possibility, but this would require a Slipspace rupture of a truly colossal scale and it is unknown if the Ark or Halo would contain the systems necessary to produce such a rupture. | ||

The Chief rushed to Johnson's aid, but was knocked down by Spark's beam, which was then turned on the Arbiter, who was knocked out of the door, which closed. As Chief tried to get up, he was fired upon again. However, his shield took most of the blast. In the ensuing battle, when the Chief was cornered, Johnson fired his Spartan Laser on Spark before lapsing into unconsciousness; this stunned Spark. Johnson gave the Laser to the Chief with the words "''Kick his ass.''" After three shots from the Laser, Spark exploded and the Chief was finally able to unite Cortana and the Core. | The Chief rushed to Johnson's aid, but was knocked down by Spark's beam, which was then turned on the Arbiter, who was knocked out of the door, which closed.

As Spark predicted, the ring was not ready to fire, and it began to shake itself apart and disintegrate. Master Chief attempted to save Johnson, but he replied with only "Send me out...with a bang." before closing his eyes. Master Chief and the Arbiter escaped through the first [[Phase Pulse Generator]] room and then to Johnson's [[Warthog]]. The vibration of the activation began to tear the Installation apart, causing explosive reactions all across incomplete sections of the installation. Master Chief and the Arbiter barely managed to reach the ''[[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn]]'' before the ring detonated. Cortana stated that the ring's explosion ''"did a number on The Ark."'' | As Spark predicted, the ring was not ready to fire, and it began to shake itself apart and disintegrate.
