Were you looking for Portal, the Forerunner complex?
A Porta opens for Master Chief.

A Porta is a sphincter-like orifice embedded into the floors and walls of Flood Hives that acts as the Flood analog to doorways. Portas were sighted in the Flood-infested High Charity and on the Halo 3 multi-player map Isolation.

Trivia

  • Portas may be the doors on High Charity covered in Flood biomass.
  • Portas have at least two 7 references in them; Portas are made up of 7 segments and there are 7 Portas on the level Cortana.
  • The name, "porta", probably comes from the Greek word porta (πόρτα), which means door.
  • On the Halo 3 multiplayer map Isolation there is one porta. Sliding down a hole on the top part of the map will lead you to slide down a tube. The porta will open, leading you into the Flood-infested cave.
