After a brief study of the artifact, [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Greene]] feared that the Covenant had done something to their [[artificial intelligence]] construct, [[Melissa (AI)|Melissa]], and the ship headed back to [[Earth]]. Melissa was indeed affected by a hostile Covenant AI called the [[Seeker]] which desired any and all Forerunner-related data. The foreign AI used Melissa to influence a crew member named [[McKaskill|MacKaskill]] to fiddle with the artifact. When they exited [[Slipstream space|Slipspace]], the artifact let out an enormous electromagnetic pulse that neutralized all communications in the Solar system for [[list of "seven" references in Halo|seven]] seconds, caused the ship to crash in [[Luna]]r orbit, and fragmented Melissa. One piece of the AI landed in [[Jersey Morelli]]'s home computer, and the other was also thrown back in time to the year [[2004]]. | After a brief study of the artifact, [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Greene]] feared that the Covenant had done something to their [[artificial intelligence]] construct, [[Melissa (AI)|Melissa]], and the ship headed back to [[Earth]].

The artifact was taken to [[Chawla Base]] in [[Boston]], [[Massachusetts]] for study. An ambitious [[Major]] [[Standish]] believed it to be Covenant technology and decided to take the glory and had the surviving crew hunted down and killed. This was noticed by one of Melissa's fragments, now named [[Durga]], who was looking in on the ''Apocalypso''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s destruction. Durga led a [[Team Jersey|vigilante group]] that broke into Chawla Base and turned off the artifact, using information acquired by her [[Operator|other fragment]]. The artifact let out another massive pulse, which closed the temporal anomaly and reunited the fragments. Unfortunately, this attracted the Covenant's attention. | The artifact was taken to [[Chawla Base]] in [[Boston]], [[Wikipedia:Massachusetts|Massachusetts]] for study.
