Shortly after being brought aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, the artifact unexpectedly activated, emitting an orange energy pulse and began to drain power from the ship. [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Sarah Palmer]] managed to temporarily deactivate it by kicking it. [[Henry Glassman|Dr. Henry Glassman]], the ''Infinity's'' chief engineer, was ordered to immediately examine the artifact. While doing so, Dr. Glassman inadvertently reactivated it, emitting an energy pulse which soon overtook him, disintegrating and pulling him through a portal.

Halsey determined that it was communicating with the ship's drive engines, which were of Forerunner design, and transmitting data of the ship and its crew to an unknown location in Requiem.<ref name="catherine"/> | ||
Later, it was revealed that the artifact was some form of communication device, and that it was transmitting information to Dr. Halsey's [[data pad]]. Through this connection, Halsey began a dialogue with an unknown entity, which claimed to know "the truth" about the Prometheans and many other things. Subsequently, it was revealed that the entity on the other end of the communication line was none other than [[Jul 'Mdama]], who was using the artifact to spy on the doctor and ''Infinity''.<ref | Later, it was revealed that the artifact was some form of communication device, and that it was transmitting information to Dr. Halsey's [[data pad]].

Upon being analyzed by Dr. Halsey aboard ''Infinity'', a Forerunner [[Didact's Gift|AI matrix]] belonging to a Promethean Knight showed images of the translocation artifact in [[New Phoenix]], [[United Republic of North America|URNA]], indicating that one of the artifacts was present in New Phoenix when the Didact harvested its population using the [[Composer]]. Sometime later, [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan]] [[Gabriel Thorne]] personally investigated the artifact. He came into physical contact with the artifact and, consequently, was unexpectedly translocated to a Covenant-held Forerunner structure on Requiem, where he was surrounded by several [[Sangheili Storm|Storm Sangheili]].<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Memento Mori|S1E5 ''Memento Mori'']]</ref> | Upon being analyzed by Dr. Halsey aboard ''Infinity'', a Forerunner [[Didact's Gift|AI matrix]] belonging to a Promethean Knight showed images of the translocation artifact in [[New Phoenix]], [[United Republic of North America|URNA]], indicating that one of the artifacts was present in New Phoenix when the Didact harvested its population using the [[Composer]].

The artifact's teleportation abilities soon revealed themselves to be able to work in reverse, as it began teleporting [[Promethean]]s aboard the ''Infinity''. The crew aboard fended them off, and Thomas Lasky ordered ''Infinity'' to be moved out of range, but it was soon found that the ship was unable to move. Analysis of the space-time around the ship revealed the artifact was working as an anchor, bending slipspace so as to hold the ship in place.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Expendable|S1E8 ''Expendable'']]</ref> | The artifact's teleportation abilities soon revealed themselves to be able to work in reverse, as it began teleporting [[Promethean]]s aboard the ''Infinity''.

Dr. Glassman, after studying a map that belonged to Sangheili [[Gek 'Lhar]] and another map found by Crimson, discovered the reason ''Infinity'' could not get out of Requiem was because the three devices connected the planet to the ship through an [[interdiction web]].<ref name="hm179"/> When Jul 'Mdama put Requiem on a collision course with its sun, the slipspace anchor generated by the artifacts began to pull the ''Infinity'' along the same trajectory.

The three artifacts were destroyed along with the shield world, with the third being ejected from the ''Infinity''.<ref>'''Spartan Ops''', [[S1/Exodus|S1E10 ''Exodus'']]</ref> | ||
