After over one hundred thousand years without a major incident, Spark was faced with a crisis when the {{UNSCship|Pillar of Autumn}} discovered Installation 04, pursued by the Covenant [[Fleet of Particular Justice]]. Fearing a containment breach, Spark warned the ship to jump at least one light-year away from the Installation or be destroyed. After remotely accessing the ship's systems, however, Spark realized that the ship was manned by [[Reclaimer]]s after finding data on human history. He then deactivated the ring's defensive systems and instructed the ship to a docking facility - the ''Autumn'' crash-landed on the ringworld shortly afterwards.<ref name="h2a term 1"/> | After over one hundred thousand years without a major incident, Spark was faced with a crisis when the {{UNSCship|Pillar of Autumn}} discovered Installation 04, pursued by the Covenant [[Fleet of Particular Justice]].

During the subsequent UNSC - Covenant guerrilla war, Covenant troops stumbled upon a [[Flood containment facility]], and after unwittingly deactivating the structure's containment measures, they unleashed the long-dormant [[Flood]] that had been stored inside. As per his protocols, Spark began to search for a Reclaimer to activate the installation, and came upon UNSC [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Marvin Mobuto]]. Using the Installation's [[slipspace translocation]] [[Teleportation grid|grid]], Spark brought Mobuto to the [[Library]] in an effort to retrieve the Activation Index. Ultimately, the ill-equipped Marine was overwhelmed and killed by the Flood, forcing the Monitor to seek out another Reclaimer. Spark and a squad of [[Sentinel Aggressor|Sentinels]] moved to the Flood containment facility, where they encountered a group of UNSC [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] and [[John-117]], who were battling the Flood outbreak. The Monitor recruited the [[SPARTAN-II|Spartan]] for his purposes, who he quickly [[Slipspace translocation|teleported]] to the Library and began guiding to the Index.<ref name="343GS Final Cutscene"/> With superior equipment and training, and despite overwhelming odds, this second Reclaimer succeeded in retrieving the Index. | During the subsequent UNSC-Covenant guerrilla war, Covenant troops stumbled upon a [[Flood containment facility]], and after unwittingly deactivating the structure's containment measures, they unleashed the long-dormant [[Flood]] that had been stored inside.

Taking the Index for safe keeping, Guilty Spark teleported himself and the Master Chief back to the [[Control Room]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 253''</ref> The Monitor explained that activation protocols forbid him from personally uniting the Index with the Core to activate the ring; only a Reclaimer could be permitted to do so.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 255''</ref> Spark gave John the Index, and urged him to activate the Installation. However, [[Cortana]] appeared and took the Index before it could merge with the Core, and explained to the Spartan Halo's true [[Halo Array#Function|purpose]]. Spark confirmed this information, claiming that he had believed the Master Chief to have been fully aware of his role and responsibility as a Reclaimer.<ref name="twoB"/> | Taking the Index for safe keeping, Guilty Spark teleported himself and the Master Chief back to the [[Control Room]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 253''</ref> The Monitor explained that activation protocols forbid him from personally uniting the Index with the Core to activate the ring; only a Reclaimer could be permitted to do so.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 255''</ref> Spark gave John the Index, and urged him to activate the Installation.
