The Sentinels follow the command of the [[monitor]] or other [[ancilla]] that is in charge of the facility they are assigned to, but even without central direction, they are able to respond to threats against their assigned installations with remarkable coordination and effectiveness.<ref>'''Halo Wars 2''', ''[[Phoenix Logs]] — Forerunner Sentinels''</ref><ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Under The Dark]]''</ref> On [[Installation 00]], a sentinel defense network is used to coordinate the Sentinels on the Ark despite [[000 Tragic Solitude|the monitor]] no longer being present. Sentinels follow their directives even if this entails engaging other Forerunner machines.
