Immediately after the [[Battle of Installation 04]] and the destruction of [[Installation 04]], The [[Ark]] was notified, and some automatic function started building a replacement for the missing Installation's position. The main weapon was built first with the surrounding circular metal structure after it. It is unclear how the Ark was able to create the new installation or what the source of raw materials for its construction was, as no insight is given to those functions of [[Installation 00]]. Before it was released into space (presumably work was to finish there before being sent to Threshold to replace the original [[Installation 04]] destroyed at the end of Halo: Combat Evolved) the Installation has a number of primary features available even though it was still not complete, these included the environment, atmosphere and main structures and the main weapon, though the ring structure was not yet stable enough to survive this weapon's discharge. The ring was also not connected to the other Installations, allowing a tactical pulse to be fired without triggering the other 6 Installations. It is never revealed if this is an option available to completed installations as well. | Immediately after the [[Battle of Installation 04]] and the destruction of [[Installation 04]], The [[Ark]] was notified, and some automatic function started building a replacement for the missing Installation's position.

The Chief rushed to Johnson's aid, and was knocked down by Spark's beam, which was then turned on the Arbiter, who was knocked out of the door, which closed. Johnson fired his Spartan Laser on Spark, before lapsing into unconsciousness; this stunned Spark. Johnson gave the Laser to the Chief with the words "''Kick his ass.''" After three shots from the Laser, Spark exploded and the Chief was finally able to unite Cortana and the Core. | The Chief rushed to Johnson's aid, and was knocked down by Spark's beam, which was then turned on the Arbiter, who was knocked out of the door, which closed.

As Spark predicted, the ring was not ready to fire, and it began to shake itself apart and disintegrate. Master Chief and the Arbiter escaped through the first [[Phase Pulse Generator]] room, and then to Johnson's [[Warthog]].

The vibration of the activation began to tear the Installation apart, causing explosive reactions all across incomplete sections of the installation. Master Chief and the Arbiter barely managed to reach the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}, before the ring detonated. Cortana stated that the ring's explosion ''"did a number on The Ark."'' | ||
