The purpose of the solute was to cause every animal killed by the [[Halo Array]] to instantly decay into their component molecules. This was meant to prevent pollution of the atmosphere due to decomposition{{Ref/Reuse| | ===Description=== | ||
When the solute was being distributed, the ships distributing it left yellowish curtains.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS1}} | |||
===Purpose=== | |||
The purpose of the solute was to cause every animal killed by the [[Halo Array]] to instantly decay into their component molecules. This was meant to prevent pollution of the atmosphere due to decomposition{{Ref/Reuse|HSS1}} which had happened on [[Faun Hakkor]] following the test firing of [[Installation 07]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HCC12|Cry|Chapter=12}} While acknowledging the intended purpose of the substance, [[Catalog]] also contemplated the possibility that the solute could have been used as a convenient means to obscure the firing of the Halos and the subsequent mass extinctions from future investigators.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS1}} Despite this, evidence remained in the form of an absence of any fossil evidence. Humanity in [[2332]] called this the [[Ross-Ziegler Blip]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HRenC23|Ren|Chapter=23}} | |||
==Usage== | |||
===Firing of the Halo array=== | |||
The solute was spread over many of the planets before the Halos were activated. Catalog observed solute being released on [[Earth|Erde-Tyrene]] during the [[Forerunner-Flood war]] as the [[Lifeworker]]s oversaw the indexing of the planet as part of the [[Conservation Measure]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS1}} | |||
