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 Spires were resisting the Harbinger's efforts to activate them 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.
