Immediately following the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s botched [[Battle of Earth|invasion of Earth]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], the [[Prophet of Truth]] dispatched a [[Jiralhanae]]-led [[Truth's fleet|fleet]] to continue the assault and to uncover what he believed to be the Ark. By [[2552#November|November 17]], the [[Covenant]] had uncovered the structure they had spent the last month unearthing. Truth, though his [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], activated the device, which was actually just a [[Portal at Voi|portal generating structure]] which led to Installation 00. | Immediately following the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s botched [[Battle of Earth|invasion of Earth]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], the [[Prophet of Truth]] dispatched a [[Jiralhanae]]-led [[Truth's fleet|fleet]] to continue the assault and to uncover what he believed to be the Ark.

After engaging the Covenant across the installation, [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[John-117]] and [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] entered the citadel, where they found Truth, who had been infected by the Flood.
