Installation 08: Difference between revisions

As Spark predicted, the new installation was not ready to fire, and it began to shake itself apart and disintegrate. John-117 and Thel 'Vadam escaped through the second [[phase pulse generator]] chamber and proceed towards the ''Dawn'' using Sgt. Maj. Johnson's Warthog. The shockwave of the activation began to tear the installation apart, causing explosive reactions all across incomplete sections of the installation. John-117 and Thel 'Vadam barely managed to reach the ''Dawn'' before the Installation fired and subsequently exploded.  Any Flood not outright destroyed in the explosion perished from the ring's sterilization pulse, while the Ark itself suffered severe damage.

By [[2555]], a large chunk of the Halo was impaled into the Ark's central hub, like a dead, arcing tree climbing thousands of kilometers into space. There were also debris of the ring in space, some of them still raining down through the atmosphere and blooming into flame before crashing on the Ark's surface.<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''page 141''</ref>
