Phoenix Logs/The Ark/Henry Lamb Research Outpost

The following is a verbatim transcription of an official document for archival reasons. As the original content is transcribed word-for-word, any possible discrepancies and/or errors are included.

The Henry Lamb Research outpost was the base of a UNSC scientific research

expedition to learn about the Ark, both in the interest of scientific advancement

and self-preservation from future Halo threats.

The expedition was spurred on by the re-activation of the existing Halo array in

2555 by the Ark's rampant Monitor, Tragic Solitude. A team travelled to the Ark

and stopped Tragic Solitude's plan to aggressively mine the Earth for materials

to rebuild the Ark, which had been damaged as a result of the battle that

ended the Human-Covenant War.
