Around [[2557#July|July 2557]], the Covenant detected a signal originating from [[Installation 03]] in the [[Khaphrae system]]. The signal was emanating from the [[Conduit]], a device on Installation 03 that was capable of opening Forerunner slipspace portals throughout the galaxy. The Covenant succeeded in picking up the signal moments before the UNSC did and sent a large fleet to the ring to recover the Conduit. Procuring the Conduit, the Covenant sought to bring the device to Installation 03's [[Altar]] to activate it, where they could open slipspace portals for Prometheans to invade Gamma Halo and give themselves control over the installation. In response, the UNSC [[Battle of Installation 03|engaged]] the Covenant forces in an attempt to take the Conduit for themselves.<ref name="opb"/> When the Covenant discovered the Altar, [[Unidentified Headhunter|a Spartan-IV]] was deployed nearby to stop them. As the Covenant activated the Conduit, Promethean forces began to invade the installation. Arriving at the Altar, the Spartan fought through Covenant forces and was able to retrieve the Conduit after killing the Sangheili [[Field Master]] that held it, despite the Covenant's efforts to stop the Spartan. Realizing that the battle was lost, the Covenant began to retreat from the ring, while the Spartan and other UNSC forces continued to wipe out the remaining Covenant forces.<ref name="opc">'''Halo: Spartan Strike''', ''[[Operation C: Valiant Hammer]]''</ref> | Around [[2557#July|July 2557]], the Covenant detected a signal originating from [[Installation 03]] in the [[Khaphrae system]].

However, the activation of the Conduit also opened a portal in an Office of Naval Intelligence facility in New Phoenix, allowing Covenant and Promethean forces to [[Battle of New Phoenix|invade]] the city. Believing the Conduit could be used to deactivate the portal, the Spartan embarked to Earth with the device. The Spartan rendezvoused with a group of ONI researchers and escorted them through Covenant and Promethean forces to the ONI facility to allow them to use the Conduit to stop the ongoing invasion. While the Spartan continued to protect the researchers by holding off the invading forces, ONI learned that the portal was being powered by a Forerunner device they had been studying. As the researchers interfaced with the device to shut down the portal, Covenant and Promethean forces assaulted their location in an effort to stop them. However, the Spartan succeeded in protecting the researchers from the invading forces and the portal was successfully shut down, resulting in the Conduit entering slipspace and being lost to both the UNSC and Covenant.<ref name="opd">'''Halo: Spartan Strike''', ''[[Operation D: Adamantine Shield]]''</ref> | However, the activation of the Conduit also opened a portal in an Office of Naval Intelligence facility in New Phoenix, allowing Covenant and Promethean forces to [[Battle of New Phoenix|invade]] the city.
