A '''scramble grenade''', also referred to as a '''scrambler''', is a type of [[grenade]] designed by the [[UNSC Navy]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]. A relatively new weapon as of [[2553]], the scramble grenade was created by ONI "death techs" specifically for the [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]]'s mission to the [[Outer Colony]] of [[Gao]]: capturing a [[Forerunner]] [[ancilla]]—[[Intrepid Eye]]—beneath the planet's surface.<ref name="ll172">'''Halo: Last Light''', ''page 172'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | A '''scramble grenade''', also referred to as a '''scrambler''', is a type of [[grenade]] designed by the [[UNSC Navy]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]].

Essentially a primitive [[AI suppressor]], | Essentially a primitive [[AI suppressor]],{{Ref/Reuse|ll174}} a scrambler is only a grenade in the sense that it releases enough [[Electromagnetic pulse|electromagnetic interference]] upon detonation to scramble complex processing networks. Once attached to an unshielded [[artificial intelligence]] construct, a scramble grenade sticks to its target for three hours while continuously scrambling the AI's circuits. Scramblers are incapable of causing any permanent damage to AI constructs, at least according to their creators. However, the grenades are completely ineffective against EMP-shielded targets, such as [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|ll172}} When detonated, scramblers cause a flash of silver light, blinding to those without proper eye protection. [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[Frederic-104]] used a scrambler grenade to capture Intrepid Eye on Gao.<ref name="ll179">'''Halo: Last Light''', ''page 179'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | ||
