000 Tragic Solitude, often referred to simply as Solitude, was a Forerunner monitor that served as the caretaker of Installation 00. Originally the Forerunner politician Splendid-Dust-of-Ancient-Suns, the former First Councilor willingly chose to become a monitor with the intentions of aiding the Reclaimers once they arrived at the installation. However, millennia of isolation following the Great Purification|firing of the Halo Array and damage the Ark incurred during the Battle of Installation 00 in 2552 led to Tragic Solitude falling subject to rampancy.''Halo: Hunters in the Dark'', p. 270-281 (Google Play edition)
Seeking to repair his installation and gain revenge on humanity for their role in damaging the Ark, Tragic Solitude used Bobby Kodiak|a captured human to initiate the Halos' firing sequence to eradicate life in the galaxy. However, his scheme ultimately led to his destruction when a joint United Nations Space CommandSwords of Sanghelios team Operation: FAR STORM|traveled to Installation 00 to stop him.
Biography
File:PL - UncomfortableTruth1.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Tragic Solitude dismantles a fighter. After the Great Purification|firing of the Halo Array, in the dark time that followed the reintroduction|repopulating of the Milky Way, a group of surviving Forerunners attempted to repair the Domain by venturing on a mission to the abandoned capital of Maethrillian. During their mission, they encountered Abaddon, a Precursor construct who attempted to bring them to trial for the Halo Array's activation. While interacting with Abaddon, Splendid-Dust-of-Ancient-Suns the former First Councilor of the Ecumene Council felt an immense amount of guilt in the Forerunners' arrogance. Afterwards, Splendid Dust and other surviving Forerunners returned to Installation 00, the primary installation of the Halo Array utilized to Conservation Measure|index and preserve biological diversity in the galaxy during the Forerunners' Forerunner-Flood war|war against the Flood. Seeking atonement for his actions, Splendid Dust wished to do something helpful for the humans that would succeed the Forerunners as the Reclaimers and inheritors of the Mantle of Responsibility, wanting to act as an interpreter for all the Forerunners had learned. After discussing this idea with IsoDidact|Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting and Chant-to-Green, he had himself mind transfer|composed into an ancilla and became a monitor. Bornstellar named Tragic Solitude the caretaker and protector of Installation 00, where he intended to atone by staying behind on the Ark and awaiting the arrival of the humans, while the rest of the surviving Forerunners departed the installation to begin their self-imposed exile.
Like most Forerunner ancillas, Tragic Solitude was only given information relevant to his duties; in his case, protecting Installation 00 and maintaining the nature balance of the facility's ecosystem. Over time, his memories as Splendid Dust would fade. Following the exodus of the surviving Forerunners, Tragic Solitude was left alone in isolation on Installation 00 for millennia.''Halo: Hunters in the Dark'', p. 320-323 (Google Play edition) He often found himself bored with little to do, aside from making improvements to his installation and the occasional minor system repair. While he continued to perform his duties admirably,''Halo Wars 2'', Phoenix Log "Idle Hands I" the long period of isolation had an adverse affect on the monitor and instilled a distrust and hatred of the Forerunners in the monitor, who felt betrayed by his creators. In 29,823 BCE, Tragic Solitude dismantled a once apparently belonging to the Librarian, placing the space fighter|fighter back into its original design seed form. The monitor found himself tempted to launch the fighter from its stasis, but instead chose to busy himself with other tasks as per his instructions.''Halo Wars 2'', Phoenix Log "A Tensed Bolt"

After millennia of relative peace, the Halo installations became a battleground for the ongoing Human-Covenant War in 2552. In the resulting conflict, Installation 04 was destroyed by humanity and Installation 05's surface was Glassing|glassed by the Sangheili to quell a Flood infestation. These acts greatly disturbed Tragic Solitude, but he nonetheless began creating Installation 08 on the Ark to replace the destroyed Installation 04. On 2552#December|December 11, 2552, Installation 00 became a Battle of Installation 00|place of conflict for the last battle of the Human-Covenant War. Utilizing the Portal at Voi|slipspace portal at Voi, Kenya on Earth, the Covenant and a joint United Nations Space Command and Sangheili Fleet of Retribution|fleet traveled to Installation 00.''Halo 3'', campaign level, "The Ark" When 343 Guilty Spark, the monitor of Installation 04 that had allied himself with the UNSC and Sangheili, attempted to gain access to the Ark's systems during the battle, Tragic Solitude addressed the former's lack of authority on the Ark and informed Guilty Spark that the facility housed the Librarian's archives of the Conservation Measure. When Guilty Spark persisted, Tragic Solitude threatened the monitor with the installation's complement of Sentinels. However, Tragic Solitude was unable to intervene in the battle, as he watched Guilty Spark aid the humans and Sangheili in engagements across the installation.''Halo Mythos'', p. 154-155
Later in the battle, Tragic Solitude watched in horror as Installation 00 was severely damaged after the incomplete Installation 08 was fired at the Ark in an effort to eradicate the Flood's presence on the installation.''Halo 3'', campaign level, "Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo" This action also damaged Tragic Solitude and inflicted a state of rampancy upon him. While horrified by the damaged done to the Ark, Tragic Solitude now had a great task to act upon after millennia of inactionrepairing his installation. On 2552#December|December 14, 2552, the monitor marshalled his Sentinels to construct a containment shield around the remains of High Charity, the former Covenant capital that the Flood had captured and crashed on the Ark. Fearing that the surviving Flood forms would escape High Charity and infect his installation, Tragic Solitude had the shield constructed, the perimeter razed by Sentinels, and the local refugia modified to ensure no nearby Sentience|sentient life survived, thus depriving the Flood of any host bodies in close proximity to their prison.''Halo Wars 2'', Phoenix Log "Idle Hands II" High Charity was successfully quarantined and the Flood contained on 2553#February|February 19, 2553,''Halo Wars 2'', Phoenix Log "An Uncomfortable Truth I" with the monitor posting a battalion of Sentinels on patrol in the vicinity of the shield to prevent both the Flood from escaping and future "invaders" from releasing the Flood. Solitude began documenting the Flood and its forms, hoping to make new discoveries about the parasite.
After containing the Flood, the monitor turned his attention to repairing his installation; however, the moon at the Ark's Foundry (location)|Foundry was already exhausted of resources and he could not gather resources from other worlds as Tragic Solitude had lost connection to the portal after it was disabled by humanity. Seeking revenge against humanity and a way to repair his installation, Tragic Solitude began building an army of heavily armed Retrievers. In addition, he exponentially increased power to his side of the portal to allow objects to travel through at much greater speeds.''Halo: Hunters in the Dark'', p. 308-311 (Google Play edition)
File:TSPL.png|thumb|250px|000 Tragic Solitude observes the aftermath of the Battle of Installation 00.
On 2554#August|August 10, 2554, arrived at Installation 00 for research and survey purposes. Tragic Solitude unleashed the installation's fauna and constructs on the remote contact teams deployed by ''Rubicon'' and destroyed nearly all teams. However, RCT-06 returned with the remains of 343 Guilty Spark. Guilty Spark eventually took control of ''Rubicons systems and left the installation for his own purposes. Meanwhile, on August 21, Tragic Solitude oversaw the destruction of RCT Broadside at the hands of chaefka. The squad's leader, Bobby Kodiak, was heavily injured in the attack, but managed to escape the animals. Using the human's earpiece for communication, Tragic Solitude spoke to Kodiak and offered to save him if he surrendered himself to the monitor. With no other chance of survival, Kodiak accepted.''Halo: Hunters in the Dark'', p. 5-8 (Google Play edition) The monitor "healed" the soldier, but the outcome resulted in Kodiak becoming a cyborg with disfigured body. Tragic Solitude then forced Kodiak to initiate a countdown that would lead to the activation of the Halos.''Halo: Hunters in the Dark'', p. 329-333 (Google Play edition) On 2555#January|January 14, 2555, Solitude recorded a message wherein he questioned whether the humans should be allowed to obtain the Mantle. The monitor concluded that humanity must be dealt with for their seemingly purposeless, violent nature and began to further his plans to repair his installation.
On 2555#March|March 8, 2555, the countdown to the activation sequence was discovered on Installation 07 by Doctor Luther Mann and Henry Lamb. In response to this discovery, the United Nations Space Command and Swords of Sanghelios formed a joint team tasked with Operation: FAR STORM|traveling to Installation 00 to stop the activation sequence. As expected by Tragic Solitude, the team reopened the slipspace portal that led to his installation, giving the monitor access to the galaxy once again. Tragic Solitude sent a Retriever through to begin mining Earth, but it was promptly destroyed by UNSC forces, as was the next Retriever that followed.''Halo: Hunters in the Dark'', p. 232-241 (Google Play edition) When the UNSCSangheili's ''Mayhem'' entered the portal and exited over the Ark on 2555#March|March 17, 2555, Tragic Solitude initially intended to use his army of heavily armed Retrievers to destroy the vessel, although he decided to allow them to survive upon learning that Huragok Drifts Randomly was aboard the ship. Tragic Solitude sought to capture the Huragok to help repair the Ark, while also capturing a human to replace the wounded Kodiak. To determine which human would be the best to capture, Tragic Solitude tested the abilities of the humans and Sangheili by pitting various species of animals on Installation 00 against them, hoping that those who were weak would perish.
While the human and Sangheili forces battled morolaath and chaefka on the Ark,''Halo: Hunters in the Dark'', p. 184 (Google Play edition) Tragic Solitude communicated with Olympia Vale through her earpiece and manipulated a psychotropic effect generated by an agent released by the chaefka to make her walk away from a battle and towards the Citadel. As she neared the Citadel, Tragic Solitude opened the ground beneath her and Vale descended down an angled tube that brought her to a long hallway. Tragic Solitude soon personally traveled to Vale's location and transformed himself into a golden replication of Vale, as he believed that this form would make her more comfortable. As the monitor revealed his intent to her, Vale fruitlessly attempted to convince Tragic Solitude to stop his plan. Vale tried to convince Tragic Solitude to stop the Halos' activation and mine other worlds to rebuild the Ark, rather than Earth. However, the monitor remained unmoved by Vale's arguments and eventually induced her to sleep. Shortly after, the humans and Sangheili succeeded in averting the Halo Array's activation. However, Tragic Solitude proceeded to launch his army of Retrievers through the portal to Earth, where some began mining the planet's surface while others Invasion of Earth|engaged the Home Fleet|local fleet. The monitor intended to use the Retrievers to force humanity to submit to him, where he would then use Vale to reactivate the Halo Array and eradicate all life in the galaxy.
As the Retrievers continued their destruction, Drifts Randomly succeeded in infiltrating Tragic Solitude's systems and seized control of Installation 00. However, the Huragok could not take control of the Retrievers which Tragic Solitude controlled personally. Tragic Solitude agreed to a compromise with Vale, claiming he would recall the Retrievers if Vale convinced Drifts to return full control of Installation 00 and bring the Huragok to him. When the monitor provided Vale with the opportunity to speak to Drifts and Doctor Mann remotely, she defied Tragic Solitude and told them to not give into his demands. As Tragic Solitude cut off the broadcast, Vale declared that she would rather be killed than have to continue to be with the monitor for another moment. Returning to his original monitor form, Tragic Solitude proceeded to bring Kodiak forward and ordered the two to fight to the deaththe "victor" of the duel was to reactivate the firing sequence of the Halo Array. Kodiak attacked Vale, though she was reluctant to fight and severely overpowered. Just as the cyborg was about to kill her, Spartan Operations#Rank structure|Spartan Frank Kodiaka SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IV member of the UNSC team and the brother of Bobby Kodiakarrived at Vale's position to assist her. Meanwhile, Spartan Elias Holt, Commander N'tho 'Sraom, and Zon 'Vadum discovered the monitor's data stores and began firing upon them. Tragic Solitude agreed to recall the Retrievers if they stopped, to which Spartan Kodiak accepted and had his allies stand down.Halo: Hunters in the Dark, ''pages 335-340 (Google Play edition)''
As the humans and Sangheili recouped, Tragic Solitude summoned the Retrievers back to Installation 00. Just as the group began to relax, Tragic Solitude suddenly attacked them again and fired an energy blast at Spartan Kodiak, knocking him back and dazing the Spartan. As Holt moved to attack the monitor, Tragic Solitude hit him with an energy blast, knocking him across the room. Seemingly mistaking the humans for the Forerunners amidst his state of rampancy, Tragic Solitude declared that he would not trust them again and claimed the Ark as his alone. Out of options, Vale grabbed on to the monitor's "body", but she was easily thrown off. Vale attempted to calm him down, but Bobby lunged at the construct and grabbed on to the monitor. Tragic Solitude attempted to fling the cyborg off of him, but Kodiak was able to plunge his bladed forearms into the monitor's housing, fatally damaging the construct. Tragic Solitude rose high up above the ground, before promptly plummeting back into the floor and violently exploding, killing Bobby Kodiak in the process.
Following Tragic Solitude's death, the members of the UNSCSwords of Sanghelios expedition returned to Earth shortly after, having averted the crisis on the installation. Despite the monitor's actions, Vale felt pangs of regret for not being able to convince Tragic Solitude to stop his plans, despite her skills in diplomacy.Halo: Hunters in the Dark, ''pages 356-357 (Google Play edition)'' The flora and fauna returned to normal with Tragic Solitude's destruction and the weather became temperate again which caused Luther Mann to realize that Tragic Solitude was the true source of the incredibly bad weather. The UNSC decided to continue Tragic Solitude's work of repairing the Ark, but by strip-mining lifeless systems so that no one would be harmed in the process.Halo: Hunters in the Dark This plan, guided by a team at the Henry Lamb Research Outpost and the smart AI Isabel,Halo Wars 2, ''Phoenix Logs'' - ''The Healing of Old Wounds'' ultimately succeeded, leaving the Ark fully repaired by the time the Banished and forces from the engaged in Second Ark Conflict|conflict there in 2559.Halo Wars 2'''
Personality and traits
Initially after his creation, 000 Tragic Solitude held a very similar personality and voice to Splendid-Dust-of-Ancient-Suns. Tragic Solitude sought to atone for his self-declared acts of arrogance he had committed as Splendid Dust by remaining alone on Installation 00 to aid the humans in the distant future. The IsoDidact figured that since Splendid Dust had lived his life as a politician used to frequently interacting with other individuals, Tragic Solitude would find it difficult to adjust to being alone for centuries, if not millennia. In time, Tragic Solitude would forget his memories as Splendid Dust and his voice would become more mechanical. When Installation 00 was finally revisited by others, Tragic Solitude watched in horror as the resulting Battle of Installation 00|battle heavily damaged his installation, ultimately giving him a desire for revenge. Following the damage incurred upon the Ark, Solitude concluded that conflict was only a temporary, thus unnecessary, ripple in an otherwise quiet galaxy that will always be quickly subsumed by the calm of the universe. The monitor concluded that the universe will always maintain its stillness and conflict was simply a petty matter created by other species in an effort to reach their futile goal: a "selfish, prideful" need for immortality, a goal that Solitude believed should be discouraged as it only led to suffering among those attempting to achieve it.
File:HM-solitude sigil.png|thumb|225px|left|The sigil used by 000 Tragic Solitude following the Battle of Installation 00. Following his rampancy, Tragic Solitude became self-obsessed and rather narcissistic, and subject to sudden mood and personality changes. Tragic Solitude was very dedicated to his role as the keeper of Installation 00. The monitor held that Installation 00 was the foundation for all life in the galaxy and the single most important vestige of those left behind by the Forerunners. Without the Ark, Tragic Solitude believed that there was no life, hope, or peace left in the galaxy. Tragic Solitude considered it his ultimate duty to protect Installation 00 and repair it at all costs, even if it meant eradicating all species in the galaxy to protect it from further damage. Despite the monitor's lack of regard for humans and his desire to kill many of them, Tragic Solitude attempted to accommodate and displayed a sympathetic and apologetic nature towards several of them, most notably Olympia Vale. The monitor assumed a form that he felt would comfort Vale and later allowed her friends and allies to communicate among each other after realizing that the prospect of their inability to communicate upset her. Vale believed the monitor was insane, especially after witnessing Tragic Solitude's demented laugh after he learned that Huragok Drifts Randomly had seized control of his installation. During their conversations and debates during her capture, Vale noted that Tragic Solitude had always appeared to be formidable and domineering when he spoke. After the monitor's data banks were damaged and Drifts had seized his control, Tragic Solitude spoke in a strange and weak voice.
After witnessing the damage dealt to the Ark, Tragic Solitude began to question the futility of warfare, believing that ultimately the only difference in each battle is the name of those involved, with conflicts between each species only preventing progression and advancement. Solitude dwelled on the thought that his installation's purpose was to safeguard the galaxy's inhabitants, but it was the same inhabitants of the galaxy that proved to be the biggest threat to the Ark and thus themselves, fearing that their allegedly self-destructive actions were impossible to curb. Solitude came to resent Sentience|sapient species in the Milky Way for their destructive natures, believing that all species were inclined to war and conflict, even the Forerunners. Solitude noted that humans, Forerunners, San'Shyuum, and other species declared peace through unity and civilization, yet fought wars amongst themselves and others in defense of their own independence while forcing their own ideals upon others.''Halo Wars 2'', Phoenix Log "An Uncomfortable Truth II" In particular, Tragic Solitude did not care for humanity in the least and was even genuinely confused when Vale implied that he should. He believed that humanity was a utterly destructive species as the monitor was aware of the damage installations of the Halo Array had sustained due to human action and was aware of humanity's Insurrection|ongoing civil war and previous Human-Covenant War|conflict with the Covenant. As such, Tragic Solitude believed that it was better for the galaxy to perish and then be have a chance of being reborn again, free from humans and other sapient species that shared their hostility. As a form of restitution for the damage the humans had incurred on the Halo Array, Tragic Solitude believed that it was fair to mine the human worlds in the Sol system for materials to repair Installation 00. The Sangheili were another species that Tragic Solitude regarded as overly violent, assuming that the Swords of Sanghelios' Treaty of 2552|peace with humanity would inevitably collapse as both species turned back to their destructive ways. As did many Forerunners, Tragic Solitude considered Huragok to be nothing more than machines, though he did value the Huragok's technological skills and sought to capture Drifts Randomly to force him to repair Installation 00.
While the damaged done to Installation 00 in 2552 certainly contributed to Tragic Solitude's rampant state, the millennia he spent in isolation on his installation also had adverse effects that led to the monitor's erratic personality. The monitor's existence was an uneventful one for millennia, noting that the better he performed his tasks, the less he had to do. Having to endure what he felt was abandonment by his makers, Tragic Solitude came to regard the Forerunners as failures. Tragic Solitude, having once placed a great amount of trust in the Forerunners, felt betrayed by their abandoning of the galaxy and believed that they had broken the loyalty he had pledged to them. He further questioned the Forerunners' judgement to pass the Mantle to humanity, initially considering such thoughts as forbidden, though dwelling on the matter after years of solitary and after witnessing humans damage his installation. The monitor eventually resolved that he did not need the Forerunners to care for his installation. He believed that the Forerunners' Forerunner-Flood war|fall to the Flood was the judgement of his makers and their penalty to resisting the "punishment" was their sacrifice by using the Halo Array to wipe out the Flood. In this respect, Tragic Solitude compared himself to the Flood as he considered himself the judge of other species in the galaxy and eradication was their "just" punishment for their destructiveness. While the Forerunners considered the Flood to be the ultimate representation of chaos, the monitor found it curious that the Flood desired to consume all sentient life, to make all as one. He believed that the Flood sought to bring order to the galaxy, at least from their perspective. However, he refused to sympathize with this line of thought due to his loyalty and duty to his installation, while recognizing that Mendicant Bias fell into the same trap. Ultimately, after his data banks were damaged and Drifts had seized control of Installation 00 from him, Tragic Solitude acted erratically. Apparently mistaking the humans on the Ark for the Forerunners, Tragic Solitude claimed that he had trusted them only to be betrayed and resolved that he would not let it happen again, also declaring Installation 00 as his alone.
Description
000 Tragic Solitude was originally created by the Forerunners to resemble his fellow monitors. Like most monitors, Tragic Solitude resembled a spherical construct composed of metallic armatures and a single "eye" in his center, blue in color. However, over time following Great Purification|the firing of the Halo Array, Tragic Solitude found the form to be unaccommodating and merged himself with Installation 00 to "''become one with it''". The monitor modified himself to allow him to form nearly any shape he desired. During his time speaking with Vale, Tragic Solitude contorted himself into an exact physical replica of her, albeit one that was glittering gold rather than flesh-colored. Solitude had assumed this form as he believed that it would make Vale more comfortable, though the form had actually unnerved her.
Tragic Solitude was represented by a dark green sigil, circular in shape with a hexagon enclosed within a larger hexagon in the center of the sigil. By 2555, following the Battle of Installation 00, another sigil was also associated with Tragic Solitude. The sigil featured three horizontal lines, two long lines and a third shorter line in between, enclosed within the circular sigil, each connected diagonally. This second sigil was similar in appearance to that of Offensive Bias' sigil.
Production notes
000 Tragic Solitude first debuted in ''Halo 3'' as an unidentified ancilla that briefly conversed with 343 Guilty Spark in the game's terminals. In a Canon Fodder released on 2015#May|May 22, 2015, Jeff Easterling alluded to Tragic Solitude's involvement in future ''Halo'' content by stating that the ancilla's name would be revealed in the close future, while also referencing the title of ''Halo: Hunters in the Dark'' which was later released on 2015#June|June 16, 2015. Written by Peter David, the novel featured a Rampancy|rampant Tragic Solitude as the primary antagonist, while exploring his character.
Tragic Solitude was also prominently featured in the Phoenix Logs for ''Halo Wars 2'', identified as an "Unknown Author" within Installation 00, providing backstory on the ancilla's actions and thoughts during his time alone on the Ark.

Some time after 2557#July|July 2557, the Domain suddenly became active again and the human smart AI Cortana was uploaded into its network in the wake of the destruction of ''Mantle's Approach'', which attempted to escape into slipstream space just prior to its destruction and crash-landed on Genesis. Working together with Promethean ancilla Warden Eternal, Cortana intended for artificial intelligences to claim the Mantle of Responsibility and to use Forerunner Guardians to enforce their rule. Cortana and the Warden used Genesis as their staging site while they gathered Guardians from across the galaxy. As Exuberant Witness opposed their plan, she was shunted to the side by the other AI while the Warden and Cortana revoked most of her administrative privileges on her own installation.
File:H5 031Lockevale.jpeg|thumb|250px|left|Exuberant Witness, Locke, and Vale after Blue Team is teleported away by Cortana. Coming through on a Guardian, Spartan-II Blue Team arrived on Genesis upon Cortana's request, however they were quick to oppose her plan. After Fireteam Osiris arrived at Genesis aboard a Guardian to locate Blue Team and stop Cortana, Exuberant Witness encountered the Spartan-IVs shortly after they made contact with Blue Team. Revealing her intentions to help the humans, Exuberant Witness provided them with an M820 Scorpion that she had found among the debris brought in with the arrival of another Guardian. With the monitor's help, Osiris fought their way past Promethean and Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant forces as they traveled to Genesis' Gateway to meet up with Blue Team and stop Cortana. After defeating numerous Prometheans and several bodies of the Warden, Exuberant Witness and Osiris entered the Gateway and met up with Blue Team. However, Cortana suddenly teleported Blue Team to her location.
Learning that Cortana had placed Blue Team in a Cryptum, Exuberant Witness led Osiris to their location as Guardians began leaving Genesis. Exuberant Witness had the Spartans destroy several nearby gravitational cores to lower the nearby Cryptum. After destroying the cores, the monitor had Osiris activate a terminal to lower the Cryptum. However, after they did so, Cortana retrieved the Cryptum and attempted to take it with her as she left Genesis aboard a Guardian. As Cortana began to leave Genesis, she started disconnecting herself from the Genesis installation, giving Exuberant Witness more control again. Upon the monitor's request, Osiris activated two auxiliary power stations to help Exuberant Witness regain control of Genesis. The monitor provided Fireteam Osiris a passage to Cortana's Guardian and the Cryptum, and the Spartans rushed to stop their departure, pushing past the Guardian's shockwaves. Spartan Jameson Locke managed to reach the relay terminal that gave Cortana control and destroyed it, reinstating full control of Genesis to Exuberant Witness. As Cortana's Guardian began to leave, Exuberant Witness deployed a large swarm of Constructors which retrieved the Cryptum from the Guardian just as it entered slipspace. Bringing the Cryptum before Osiris, the Constructors freed Blue Team.
Following Cortana's departure, Exuberant Witness continued to prove unable to stop the Prometheans attempting to kill the Spartans, nor did she have any Forerunner ships they could escape on. However, she suggested that the Spartans use one of the non-Forerunner vessels brought to the planet with the Guardians to escape. After locating India 127|a Pelican, Exuberant Witness offered to open a slipspace portal they could fly through and confirmed that there was one on Sanghelios near where the Guardian launched that they could use. However, she warned that they needed to be careful as she didn't know the state of the portal on the Sanghelios end. Exuberant Witness flew off to make preparations as the Spartans took control of the Pelican which proved to still be airworthy. Exuberant Witness opened the portal and Vale, who had grown attached to the monitor, expressed remorse that they couldn't give her their thanks.Halo: Bad Blood, ''Chapter 1''
Following these events, Exuberant was permitted to come aboard the and to assist with providing commentary to Spartans in War Games simulations.
Personality and traits
}}
031 Exuberant Witness is an eccentric, talkative, and somewhat prosaic monitor, these traits being the result of her spending one hundred thousand years in isolation. Nonetheless, she displays a consistently energetic and upbeat attitude. She was opposed to Cortana's and the Warden Eternal's plan to use Guardians to prevent conflict throughout the Milky Way|galaxy, believing it to be both against protocol and morally wrong. Following Great Purification|the firing of the Halo Array, Exuberant Witness found herself lonely on Genesis until Cortana arrived at the installation in 2557. Prior to the Battle of Genesis|battle on Genesis, she had never experienced combat before and found it to be distressing, though she admitted to finding it to be rather exhilarating. Exuberant Witness also maintained a "humble collection" of Promethean constructs and members of the Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant that had been brought to Genesis through the Guardians.

03-049 Abject Testament was a Forerunner-created ancilla designated as the monitor of Installation 03. The nomenclature describing him denotes his position as it relates to the third ring and his name was meant to represent both an omen and an epitaph for Forerunner civilization. Tens of thousands of years prior to Installation 03's discovery by humans in the twenty-sixth century, Testament stopped directing the functions of the ring.
Biography Near the very end of the Forerunners' Forerunner-Flood War|war against the Flood, 049 Abject Testament was commissioned alongside six others in order to oversee the Halo Array|Neoteric Halo Array, with Installation 03 in particular being placed in his charge. Right before the Halo rings were dispersed from Installation 00 in its place beyond the rim of the Milky Way, all seven monitors convened aboard a vessel known as the Lifeworkers' creche. There, they were certified as being fit for their duties, the first of which would be the preparation of activation indexes, distributed to each, for each installation. The IsoDidact and a handful of Lifeworkers gathered with Abject Testament and the six others within the ship's command center before the final dispersement of the Array.''Halo: Silentium'', ''String 36'' The monitor of Installation 04, 343 Guilty Spark commented to Abject Testament on the current inability to access the Domain and the potential loss of Forerunner history. At this, Abject Testament simply remarked "We deserve to be forgotten". Thereafter, Testament was relocated to Installation 03 within the galaxy's Scutum-Centaurus Arm.''Halo: Warfleet'', ''page 12''
Following the Great Purification|firing of the Array, Testament eventually ceased directing Installation 03's functions. By the time twenty-sixth century humans discovered the ring in the Khaphrae system, 86,198 reports had been filed by the Halo's sub-monitors detailing the poor state of quarantine controls and lack of action on outstanding maintenance and research requests. These reports dated back at least twenty thousand years. Some researchers have linked his dissappearance with the impact event on Doavyn.
On 2557#July|July 25, 2557, the monitor of the Builder world Clinquant, 859 Static Carillon, noticed a service portal between his installation and Gamma Halo had been reactivated.''Halo: Escalation'', ''Halo: Escalation Issue 9|Issue #9'' Carillon made several attempts to contact Abject Testament about the reactivation but received no responses.
Production notes In one of ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'''s Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)|terminals, 049 Abject Testament was voiced by Fred Tatasciore, who also voiced the Truth and Reconciliation's AI|A.I. aboard the ''Truth and Reconciliation'' in those terminals, various Jiralhanae in ''Halo 3'', and some minor roles in ''Halo 4''.''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'' Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary credits|credits''Halo 3'' Halo 3 credits|credits''Halo 4'' Halo 4 credits|credits

091 Adjutant Veridity is a ancilla, a submonitor of Installation 07 tasked by the Forerunners with caretaking of the installation.
Biography
In 2558, the crew of the ''Ace of Spades'' encountered Veridity after their ship crashed into the substructure of the ring after an encounter with the tullioc. Veridity scanned the humans and asked for 343 Guilty Spark's designation and was left confused by the former Monitor's armiger body which she found to be most inappropriate. Spark revealed that Installation 04 had been destroyed and asked after 117649 Despondent Pyre, the Monitor of Installation 07. Veridity simply stated that Despondent Pyre was "everywhere and nowhere" and introduced herself. The submonitor started speaking at length about the tullioc and revealed that they had been inadvertently provoked to attack the ship by the ''Ace of Spades'' burning through the leaves under which the creatures laid their eggs. Rion Forge revealed that their intention was to find the Cartographer#Installation 07|Cartographer and, as the original one had been destroyed, Spark asked where the current one was. Veridity pointed to some nearby ominous black towers and confirmed that the Cartographer was fully operational. Spark accepted Veridity's help in finding the Cartographer and set parameters for the submonitor's help in repairing the ''Ace of Spades''.
As they made their way towards the cluster, Spark revealed that it was Mendicant Bias' former core and, overhearing, Veridity explained that the IsoDidact had purged the rogue ancilla from it long ago. With Zeta Halo currently only a third of its former size, the ring had no need for a storage facility and power source of such magnitude, though they still made use of it. Alongside being the new Cartographer, it served as the Monument, a place that stored all of the damaged ancillas and composed humans from damaged storage devices gathered over the course of centuries and given a new home large enough for everyone. Billions of lives lost over countless millennia stored in crystal, watched over and created by the ring's ancillas on the orders of the IsoDidact and the Librarian. Due to the danger that the tullioc had posed to it, they had also purified the atmosphere and ended the shroud of mist over Zeta Halo to ensure the survival of the Monument, the tullioc and other creatures present on the installation. At Spark's request, Veridity went into more detail about the Librarian's time on Zeta Halo and the purpose of Veridity and the ring's other monitors.
Finally, Veridity led the two to the new Cartographer and explained that it was also the Librarian's idea and that it served as a Silent Cartographer while there was another functional site closer to the surface half a ring away. After interfacing with the Cartographer, Spark noticed that a record was missing and the submonitor assured him that it was only the one, affronted not by Spark's statement, but by the act itself. However, Veridity didn't know who had done it, stating that it was a very old record. Deciding that it was unimportant for the moment, Spark used the Librarian's coordinate key on the console with the aid of Rion as a Reclaimer. Veridity was left stunned as the Cartographer's map of Halo changed into a star map leading to New Carthage|another location and the console released a second piece of the coordinate key. However, as Rion put the two pieces together, a slipspace portal opened up and dragged her in, although Spark managed to take the coordinate key from Rion first.
On 2560#April|April 27, 2560, Adjutant Veridity encountered the boat crew in Zeta Halo's substructure and scanned each of them before introducing herself and revealing that she already knew who each of them were as Veridity had scanned their rudimentary software. As Veridity had introduced herself as a submonitor, SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan Nina Kovan recognized that she wasn't the actual monitor of the ring. Veridity lamented not being the monitor, stating excitedly that the Banished would all be dead if she were, but Veridity was a friend to anyone who was opposed to the Banished. Even though TJ Murphy recognized that the submonitor was either eccentric or a bit unhinged, he was too curious not to press for more information and asked who was in control of the ring, if it was Cortana or the monitor. Veridity was disgusted at the mention of Cortana and was glad that the AI was dead after all of the trouble that Cortana had caused in moving and damaging the installation. Veridity realized that as Reclaimers, they could set Despondent Pyre free and restore the installation's ancillas' access to Zeta Halo's systems. Veridity explained that when Cortana first arrived, she had sequestered Despondent Pyre in the Conservatory (location)|Conservatory and limited her communication with the ring's defense network. Although Veridity and the other submonitors had been maintaining systems in the monitor's absence, they were unable to release Despondent Pyre or access to the defense network on her behalf.
Kovan asked if the Conservatory had access to the ring's communications network and Veridity confirmed that it normally did, but without Despondent Pyre, some system functions had been limited. Murphy asked what Kovan was thinking and she explained that Bonita Stone had followed the Banished to some kind of information center and remove data from its data stream. Veridity revealed that that was what she had come to investigate: the Banished had stolen two sylloge nodes from one of the installation's local data hubs. These hubs were scattered throughout the ring and were a part of the Conspectus network which oversaw the entire historical record of Installation 07 from its inception to the present. Robin Dimik asked what a sylloge node was and Veridity explained that it was a collection of data regarding the installation and that it could be as trivial as the ring's status and coordinates or as significant as control keys to its defense systems. Veridity had reason to believe that the Banished had accessed both of those. Kovan explained that, according to Stone's video feed, the Banished were after data that gave them control of the ring's defensive systems. The Banished wanted to use Zeta Halo as their new homeworld, replacing Doisac|what Cortana Razing of Oth Sonin|took from them, but one with infinitely more strategic capabilities and firepower. Erik Bender worried that this meant that it was pretty much game over for everyone, but Veridity ordered Bender to calm himself and revealed that, due to security protocols, the data could only be decrypted via ports in either the Cartographer facilities or the Conservatory. Kovan told the submonitor that she didn't think that they had to worry about the Banished deciphering anything as Stone had fought hard to steal the data from the Banished before making a copy and having her AI corrupt the original. Whatever data that the Banished were left with was now useless to them. Murphy was excited by the idea that they might have Zeta Halo's coordinates as it could give them a chance to call for reinforcements from the UNSC. Veridity confirmed that they did have the ring's coordinates if did have the data that the Banished removed from the network. However, Veridity warned that the Banished had already arrived at the Conservatory and it was only a matter of time until they discovered what Stone had done to the stolen data. The Banished might seek to extract the proper information and authority rights from Despondent Pyre instead and take full control of the ring, though it would take a very long time to enter the Conservatory and even longer to find Despondent Pyre's Cradle, if ever. The boat crew began following Adjutant Veridity to the Conservatory to free the monitor and seek her help against the Banished.
On May 3, Veridity and the boat crew encountered Spartan Tomas Horvath who had been following an ONI operative's map to the Conspectus network and found the group. As they caught up with each other, Veridity complained that the humans were very slow and that they must make an effort to keep up. Horvath stopped himself from drawing his weapon when he saw that the others didn't as well and Veridity scanned him. The submonitor introduced herself, but insisted that they really must not delay. Kovan explained that they were following Veridity to the Conservatory and promised to explain more as they walked. As the team stopped for the night, Veridity became interested in Horvath's tale of his own adventures since landing on the ring. After Kovan explained the data that had been stolen from the Conspectus network, Horvath realized that it was information that the UNSC could use to locate Zeta Halo and send reinforcements. As Kovan explained that they just needed to find a way to relay it, Veridity stated that they needed a supraluminal communications array and they could do that from any beam emitter|beacon tower. They only needed access to the beacon towers which Veridity could get from Despondent Pyre. Horvath asked Veridity's take on everything, but she simply stated that it was the same as him: they needed to release Despondent Pyre and expel the Banished from installation. Horvath asked about The Harbinger, but Veridity didn't have any records of the Harbinger or Xalanyn|her kind. All that the submonitor knew about her was through the activities of the Banished. Veridity didn't know anything about the Harbinger's loyalties or plans. Horvath decided to assume that the Harbinger was hostile until proven otherwise and that their goal upon reaching the Conservatory their goal was twofold then: release Despondent Pyre and send a message to the UNSC with the ring's coordinates. However, Kovan added a third goal: eliminate Jega 'Rdomnai and Gorian. Murphy called them solid goals and was convinced that with Veridity's help, they could succeed.
On May 9, Veridity led the humans to a door that she opened in a sheer wall that stretched solid in all directions with no end in sight. Once they entered, Veridity announced that they were now inside of the Conservatory complex. The Banished were gathered at an exposed part of the facility's exterior in large numbers and were establishing a fortified position. However, the Banished would not find a door and would be forced to create one of their own which would take time. Horvath noted that Veridity didn't seem too concerned and she explained that the Conservatory was a labyrinth that would keep the Banished occupied for the time being. The Conservatory was specifically designed to confuse those who entered without invitation and the Banished might never find Despondent Pyre's Cradle. Kovan decided that they would just have to deal with the Banished later and Veridity began leading them through the Conservatory.
In less than an hour the group arrived at Despondent Pyre's Cradle and Veridity stopped Kovan near the top of the ramp. The submonitor explained that Despondent Pyre and several submonitors had been sequestered within an energy barrier that Veridity and her fellow submonitors had been unable to deactivate. However, Reclaimers might be able to bring about an entirely different result. Horvath and his AI Elfie accessed the console and were able to drop the barrier. When Despondent Pyre failed to reactivate, the submonitor yelled at her to wake up and blasted an energy beam into the monitor's lens without success. Stating that Despondent Pyre got like this sometimes, Veridity resorted to ramming into the monitor which she stated usually worked. Finally, Despondent Pyre responded, but only to ask Veridity to join the other ancillas in contemplation before she began going dormant again. Despondent Pyre found the presence of Reclaimers irrelevant as well as the danger from the Banished and the damage that had already been caused which caused Veridity to become more and more outraged. Despondent Pyre was convinced that they could survive by being discrete and patient as they had done in the past and that eventually the Banished would leave or die as had happened in the past with everything else that had landed on the ring. Zeta Halo would eventually repair itself and the events would be forgotten in a hundred years and they would still be there. Veridity asked for full access to the communications network, but Despondent Pyre refused.
Finally, an incredulous Veridity revealed that the Banished had obtained access to the ring's local defenses from the Conspectus network, had no plans to leave and had awakened the Harbinger. This caught the monitor's attention and Kovan revealed that the Banished had brought the Harbinger's cylix to the surface, used Lucas Browning|a human prisoner to release her and the Banished and the Harbinger seemed to be working together. This caused Despondent Pyre to act, scanning Kovan and Horvath and releasing the submonitors from their imposed contemplation, giving them orders and sending the submonitors flying in different directions. With Despondent Pyre agreeing that the Harbinger had to be stopped at all costs, Veridity implored the monitor to give her access to the beacon towers so that the humans could call for reinforcements as they needed to rid Zeta Halo of the Harbinger and the Banished. Despondent Pyre revealed that they had lost control of the beacon towers as a result of Cortana's actions and she began working on a security override to bring one of the towers back online, rejecting Kovan's offer of the data chip with the stolen data that Stone had recovered. Despondent Pyre provided the boat crew with a data key that, when inserted into the central plinth of one of the beacon towers, would bring it back online and instruct the tower to send a supraluminal message into human-occupied space with Installation 07's current galactic coordinates and the site's pertinent data. Pleased, Veridity began to lead the boat crew out of the Conservatory and to the nearest beacon tower. However, Despondent Pyre seized hold of the submonitor with a yellow beam, explaining that they had work to do. Horvath and Veridity argued that she was their only quick way out of the facility, but Despondent Pyre was unwilling to expend any of the installation's executor staff to assist them if Veridity was right about the Harbinger. Instead, the monitor provided Kovan with a path out of the Conservatory and pulled the submonitor back to the Cradle.
On May 14, as the surviving members of the boat crew made Battle of the Beacon Tower|a last stand against dozens of Banished after successfully sending their message, Adjutant Veridity suddenly came to their rescue and teleported them to safety somewhere else on the ring, having somehow escaped from Despondent Pyre's reach. Veridity vanished again afterwards, presumably either back in the Cradle arguing with Despondent Pyre about what their next move should be or out there going rogue and helping to thwart the Banished.

1 Flag CTF is a game variant of Capture the Flag that appears in the Halo 2, Halo 3 and Halo: Reach multiplayer.
Background A Multi Flag CTF match generally features maps with two identical bases, each containing the team's specific flag. 1 Flag CTF isn't quite as tightly bound, and features more asymmetrical type maps, giving one base better cover and protection and the opposite base maximum exposure and much less cover. This would result in an unfair match up for the CTF Classic game type; instead the game features the teams taking turns playing offense and defense. The defensive base being the one more protected and the offensive base being the open and exposed base.

Boardwalk Forge World Powerhouse Reflection Sword Base Zealot
Objectives Only one team can capture the flag at a time during the game, therefore, the game is split into rounds. The players have the options to set a round limit before the game starts, but in matchmaking the game is limited to four rounds, giving each team two opportunities to capture the flag.
This game is very similar to Assault, but played the opposite way. In Assault, a bomb is taken into the enemy base, whereas in CTF the flag is stolen from the enemy base.
The offensive objective is to infiltrate the defender's base, steal the flag, and return it to your own base to score. There are many means to how the offense can do this based on what map they're playing on. The base may prone to better protection; however, there will be multiple ways for the offense to gain entry. Having more than one entry paves the way for the offense to fool the defense by using decoys, setting up ambushes, etc.
The job of the defending team is to defend the flag from the pursuing offensive team. If the flag is taken by a member of the opposing team, the main objective is to kill the flag carrier and return the flag to base. The defense will need to watch for multiple entries since most of the bases have more than one way to get in.
1 Flag CTF Fast
1 Flag CTF fast is similar to 1 Flag CTF, except the timer for each round is shorter, making it harder for the offense to capture the flag. Everything else is the same when compared to regular 1 Flag CTF
1 Flag CTF Pro
1 Flag CTF Pro is a variant used in ''Halo: Reach'''s Team Objective playlist.
Strategies A skilled sniper should constantly cover their own flag and/or the flag carrier. Players should aim for the potential flag carrier to have a good close combat weapon, such as an Type-1 energy sword|Energy Sword or M90 shotgun|Shotgun, with the sniper covering him. If the carrier gets into a bad situation, he could drop the flag, slaughter his opponent(s), and then resume his trip back to base. The flag should always be guarded and when attacking, use a vehicle and keep the vehicle gunning/moving while waiting for the flag carrier. An offensive strategy would be for all team members to get to the flag as quick as possible when the round starts. The key is to grab the flag and get out of there while the defense is busy finding their desired power weapons. This strategy is very useful on Zanzibar. The offense will generally spawn in a certain area, a good defensive strategy is to control the power weapons and push the offense back to their base, giving them little chance of organizing a decent attempt at the flag. This strategy can be useful on Headlong, Zanzibar, and Burial Mounds. While on offense, make sure to kill everyone, or close to everyone on the defensive side, giving you free time to walk out of the base unscathed. This will allow for better protection from other teammates. Basically, this game relies on teamwork, as all other objective games do. On a map such as Standoff, where the active camouflage is available, it is possible to run to the base, sneak in, and either run out with the flag, or kill all of the defenders quite easily. Remember to note that the flag can be reset by the defenders hovering around it, picking it up, even at the cost of your own life, will prevent the flag from returning, and keeping it in a more desirable location to steal it.
Trivia On Halo 3 games such as High Ground and Last Resort, it is worthy to note that the offensive team always starts in the same place, regardless of whether they originally defended or not. This is so because it would be easier for the defensive team to defend their flag from a fort rather than on a beachhead.
1 Flag games are usually played on maps that do not have the same kind of bases. Examples are High Ground and Last Resort, two maps that feature beachhead assaults.

The 105th Shock Troops Division, also known by the sobriquet "''Helljumpers''", is a formation of Orbital Drop Shock Troopers of the UNSC Marine Corps. It is highly regarded by many to be one of the best divisions in the United Nations Space Command armed forces. The division's insignia is a "Gold Comet".Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition), ''page 59'' (2011)
Background Members of the 105th possess 'exceptional' ''esprit de corps'' and immense pride and distinction in their unit, reflected by the customary comet-and-skull tattoo each received. Their motto, ''"Jump Feet First into Hell!"'', coupled with their employment of Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicles, has earned them the nickname "Helljumpers".
The 105th is infamous for its brutality, even toward fellow human troops. On one occasion, ODSTs from the 105th were involved in a fight with the fourteen-year-old SPARTAN-II program|Spartan John-117, resulting in three ODST deaths and one severe injury.Halo: The Fall of Reach, ''pages 65-67''Halo: The Flood
The 105th has a Helljumpers' anthem|distinct anthem. Helljumpers sometimes play this song during orbital drops to focus their attention and to calm their nerves.Halo: The Flood, ''page 36''
History The 105th was instated as early as 2525, with detachments of the Helljumpers being stationed on a number of ships, including the ''UNSC Atlas''.Halo: The Fall of Reach
The 105th were first deployed against the Covenant during the Battle of Hat Yai in late 2528 or early 2529. Though the ODSTs sustained fairly light losses, Hat Yai|the planet was Glassing|glassed.Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe, ''Dirt'' Elements of the 105th later participated in the Battle of Arcadia, and the Battle of Trove.Halo Wars In 2535, a small detachment of the 105th, assigned to the foiled a Covenant attempt to deceive the citizens of the Rubble during the Battle of Metisette.Halo: The Cole Protocol At some point during 2544, a squad from the 105th Division was sent on an assassination mission to assassinate a Unidentified Prophet (Heian)|logistics Prophet on Heian, aided by Spartan Cal-141.Halo Legends: ''The Babysitter'' In 2547, an element of the 105th Division took part in the Battle of Skopje, defending a major ship construction firm from Covenant attack.
In 2552#January|January 2552, a unit of the 105th was deployed to Ariel to enact Battle of Ariel|Operation: FIRESIDE. Ultimately, the Covenant were prevented from accessing the Knowing, a Forerunner artificial intelligence beneath the colony.Halo: Helljumper
During the Fall of Reach in summer 2552, several elements of the 105th were deployed across the planet, though they were unable to stop the Covenant onslaught. In 2552#September|September, subordinate units of the 105th stationed on the , having survived the disaster at Reach, fought in the Battle of Installation 04. These ODSTs were instrumental in frustrating Covenant attempts to purge the Installation 04|Halo of humans.Halo: Combat Evolved Later that month, 105th Division ODSTs attached to the 26th Marine Expeditionary Force were almost completely annihilated during the Battle of New Jerusalem.Halo 3: ODST

The 11-B1 is an wikipedia:Intercontinental ballistic missile|intercontinental ballistic missile used by the United Nations Space Command armed forces during the Human-Covenant War for long-range high-yield Nuclear weapon|nuclear strikes against ground-based targets. They are capable of causing megatons of nuclear damage. 11-B1s are housed in missile silos, reinforced against military strikes and normally staffed with a UNSC Defense Force security detail. Several 11-B1s were stored at the Kupiga Simu military facility in Africa on Earth.
The 11-B1 was considered obsolete prior to the Human-Covenant War, due to the relative stability within the UNSC. They were seen as unnecessary because of the resulting large-scale destruction, damaged ecosystem, nuclear fallout and radiation that follows the detonation of a 11-B1. However, during the war, 11-B1s were used as a last-resort weapon against Covenant forces that evaded planetary MAC Orbital defense platform|defense weaponry.

History
In 2531, during the Human-Covenant War there were major Insurrectionist|rebel activities in the system, notably at Camp New Hope on Victoria. Due to intense engagements with the Covenant, certain sectors in this system were depleted of United Nations Space Command|UNSC munitions.

07-117649 Despondent Pyre was a forerunner ancilla, monitor and the caretaker of Installation 07.
Biography
After the firing of the Halo Array, and the subsequent survival of the Xalanyn, the Grand Edict charged Despondent Pyre with guarding the Xalanyn's prison, and informed her that Offensive Bias had been deployed to aid her in this assignment. Although Despondent Pyre carried out her orders, she was burdened with tremendous guilt over this injustice. Over the many years that followed, she explored the Ring and contemplated its secrets which had been withheld from her. In particular, she pondered the nature of the Totem rings scattered across the installation's surface. During this time, she created Adjutant Resolution to serve as both a Sub-Monitor and a friend.
Eventually, Despondent Pyre became so overwhelmed by guilt over the Xalanyn's imprisonment, she ceased communicating with the Monitors on the other Rings and sealed herself inside Zeta Halo's Conservatory (location)|Conservatory.
After the United Nations Space Command established a presence on Installation 07 in 2555, around three hundred researchers were contracted by the Office of Naval Intelligence to study the ring as part of the Zeta Halo project. However, monitor 117649 had not yet been discovered by any research detachment. Doctor Luther Mann theorized that it was possible that the monitor had heard about humanity's and the Covenant's presence on other installationswhich led to the Battle of Installation 04|destruction of Installation 04, the partial glassing of Installation 05, and the Raid on Installation 08|destruction of Installation 08|Installation 04's replacementand decided to remain hidden from the researchers.Halo: Hunters in the Dark, ''page 23''
By 2558#March|March 3, 2558 it was noted by Catalog that 343 Guilty Spark had filed several minor reports on 117649.
Around 2559#December|December 2559, Cortana, leader of the Created, went to Installation 07 to unlock its secrets. Although Despondent Pyre accepted Cortana's control over Zeta Halo's weapons, she denied her access to the ring's secrets, fearing the human AI could release the Flood. When Cortana revealed she knew there were more dangerous things than the Flood on the ring, 117649 again refused Cortana's requests. When the arrived into the installation, Cortana dismissed the Monitor. Cortana locked the Monitor in her cradle in the Conservatory and limited her communication with the ring's defensive network. Although Zeta Halo's submonitors maintained the ring's systems in her absence, they were unable to release Despondent Pyre, even after Cortana's destruction.
On 2560#April|April 17, 2560, Submonitor Adjutant Veridity located the boat crew in the foundations of Zeta Halo and informed them of the situation. Veridity sought their help as Reclaimers to free Despondent Pyre, warning that the Banished had already found the Conservatory and that it was only a matter of time before the Banished discovered what Spartan Bonita Stone had done to their stolen data. The Banished might also seek to extract the proper information and authority rights from Despondent Pyre herself, although it would take them a very long time to enter the Conservatory and even longer to find Despondent Pyre's cradle, if ever. Hoping to gain the support of the ring's Monitor and her help to decrypt Zeta Halo's coordinates and send a message to the UNSC, the boat crew agreed to help.
On 2560#May|May 9, 2560, Veridity, the boat crew and Spartan Tomas Horvath finally reached the Conservatory where Despondent Pyre and a number of submonitors were sequestered by Cortana in an energy barrier that Veridity and her fellow submonitors had been unable to deactivate. Accessing a console at the base of Despondent Pyre's cradle, Horvath, with the help of his AI Elfie, was able to release Despondent Pyre, but the Monitor failed to wake up. Veridity explained that sometimes Despondent Pyre would fall into despair, contemplating Forerunner decisions and their consequences. By ramming the Monitor, Veridity was able to awaken her and revealed that Reclaimers were present. After scanning the humans, Despondent Pyre deemed them to be irrelevant and attempted to go back into hibernation despite Veridity's attempts to make her see the danger that the Banished posed and the damage that had already been done to the ring. However, Despondent Pyre was uninterested as anything that landed on Zeta Halo eventually either left or died and she was willing to let Battle for Zeta Halo|the war play itself out and the Halo eventually repair itself from the damage as it had always done. Veridity asked for full access to the communications network if the Monitor was unwilling to help, but Despondent Pyre refused.
Veridity finally got Despondent Pyre's full attention by revealing to her that the Banished had released The Harbinger from her cylix and that the Harbinger and the Banished were working together. Despondent Pyre instantly scanned Horvath and Nina Kovan before releasing the submonitors from their contemplation and giving them orders, causing the submonitors to disperse in different directions. The Monitor declared that the Harbinger had to be stopped at all costs and Veridity asked for access to the beacon towers so that the humans could call for reinforcements to rid Zeta Halo of the Banished and the Harbinger. However, Despondent Pyre revealed that they had lost control of the energy beacons as a result of Cortana's actions. Despondent Pyre began preparing a security override to bring one of the towers back online and rejected Kovan's attempt to give her the data chip containing everything that Stone had copied from the stolen data streams. Despondent Pyre generated a data key that, once inserted into the central plinth in the beacon tower, would perform a security override and instruct the tower to send a superluminal message into human-occupied space containing Zeta Halo's current coordinates and the site's pertinent data. The Monitor returned Kovan's nod of thanks, but she refused to allow Veridity to accompany the humans on their mission, going so far as to forcibly stop the submonitor from leaving. Instead, Despondent Pyre transmitted a path out of the Conservatory to Kovan and stated that if what Veridity had said about the Harbinger was true, then the Monitor couldn't afford to expend any of the installation's executor staff to assist them.
On 2560#May|May 28, 2560, Despondent Pyre was terrified by the return of the Harbinger and moved to protect the Conservatory. The monitor sought John-117's help. However, she was ambushed immediately by the Harbinger and her skimmers being destroyed afterwards despite resisting. After killing the monitor, the Harbinger extracted Despondent Pyre's encephalon in order to start the Reformation that would rebuild the Silent Auditorium.
Personality As Zeta Halo's Monitor, Despondent Pyre carried out her duties without hesitation, though not without question. She wondered why the Forerunners had entrusted her with the Ring yet withheld its secrets from her. As she explored the Ring, she felt that its history was constantly being rewritten but didn't understand why. In particular, she pondered the true nature of the Totem rings, which she discovered were potentially older than the Forerunners themselves.
Despondent Pyre was also burdened by guilt over the Xalanyn's imprisonment and was especially troubled that Forerunners had used the pretense of a parley to lure them to Zeta Halo in the first place. Nevertheless, she viewed the Xalanyn as such a dangerous threat that she refused, even under torture, to reveal their location.
Trivia Following in line with the pattern of exponential numbers of base 7 as the names for the Halo's monitors, 117649 is equal to 7 raised to 6th power. Despondent Pyre's chassis differs considerably from all previously seen monitors. Instead of the design seen on other Halo installation monitors such as 049 Abject Testament, 343 Guilty Spark, or 2401 Penitent Tangent, Despondent Pyre's chassis seems to consist of four curved plates surrounding her central eye that move whenever she speaks. Her associate sub-monitor, Adjutant Resolution, shares with her a very similar chassis design (although more spherical overall and with more prominent protrusions around the eye). In ''Halo Infinite'', Despondent Pyre was portrayed by voice actress Wikipedia:Sarah Elmaleh|Sarah Elmaleh, who also lent her voice to Nina Kovan, along with the Spartan Voiceprint 2FP4 in the multiplayer component of ''Halo Infinite''.

File:H2A Scorpion12-9F5.png|300px|thumb||12-9F5 at the entrance to Kilindini Bridge.
12-9F5 was a specialized M808B Scorpion|M808B Scorpion tank in service with the UNSC UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps. The tank featured a wider-set track and an enhanced undercarriage, making it ideal for urban warfare.Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition), ''page 238'' As well as its modifications, the vehicle appeared to have a black chess piece in the form of a knight painted on its front left tread cover.Halo 2, campaign level ''Metropolis''
History In 2552, 12-9F5 was assigned to the frigate . In 2552#October|October 20 of that year, during the Battle of Earth, the tank was delivered to John-117 in Old Mombasa to assist him in Battle of Mombasa|fighting his way to the Hierarch|Prophet of Prophet of Regret|Regret's Solemn Penance|carrier. The Chief, accompanied by two Marines, used the tank to cross the New Mombasa 105 East#Kilindini Bridge|main bridge leading to downtown New Mombasa, destroying numerous s, , and Type-26 Banshee|Banshees along the way. However, he was soon forced to abandon the tank in a New Mombasa 105 East#Tunnel system|highway tunnel due to a set of blast doors preventing the tank from going any further.
Trivia The tank will sometimes appear with an ID of UE8-14 on Easy and Normal difficulties, but will most often appear correctly in Heroic and Legendary. The reason for this is unknown. Some of the tanks used in ''Halo 3'' multiplayer (via Forge) bear the ID "12-9F5". However, the chess decal is replaced with a Scorpion decal, and is a ''Halo 3''-era Scorpion (with a separate seat for a gunner). Thus, it is unlikely that they are the same tank, although the tank could have had an overhaul. It is possible to drive the tank past the barricade in the tunnels with a Warthog and a little patience. However, you will soon be forced to abandon it anyways, as you have to go into the sewer system to advance to the next area.

The 120mm ventral gun is a weapon mounted to the underside of the United Nations Space Command|UNSC GA-TL1 Longsword.
Overview
The 120mm gun found on the Longsword is mounted underneath the craft, and cannot be used while the craft is grounded unless the ship's landing gear is extended. In this state, the gun has a ninety degree axis of rotation, and can fire relatively quickly - described as a "''hail''" of rounds fired in quick succession.
Operational history During the capture of the ''Ascendant Justice'' by UNSC survivors of the Battle of Installation 04, a Longsword's 120mm ventral guns were used to clear one of the vessel's hangars of numerous Unggoy. The shells cut through unshielded Type-31 Seraph|''Seraph''-class starfighters, fuel pods, and the Covenant defenders with ease.

File:Ammo_-M41.png|thumb|50px|An M41 12.799 round from ''The Art of Halo 3''. The 12.799mm Armor-Piercing is a round used in the M41 Vulcan|M41 Light Anti-Aircraft Gun that is mounted on the UNSC's M12 Warthog vehicle.
Background
This round, also known as the .50 BMG, was first developed in the early 20th century for use in machine guns and heavy automatic weapons. It was an upscale of the .30-06 cartridge common to rifles of the time. The cartridge itself has been made in many variants. The rounds intended for machine guns are linked using metallic links. It was later refined for use in sniper rifle systems, setting several distance records for sniper kills. In this role, it was mainly used as an anti-materiel round.
Overview It is effective against both vehicles and infantry, regardless of shielding. Its armor-piercing nature is the reason for its effectiveness against vehicles; Armor-piercing round|armor piercing rounds are designed to shoot through armor to damage the occupants of the vehicle. While unshielded infantry are easily killed, energy shielding defeats most of the armor-piercing benefits of this round. However, it is still effective due to its large size and high kinetic energy. Only the SRS99 series of sniper rifle uses a 14.5114mm|larger round.
This round should not be confused with the M225 Semi-Armor-Piercing High-Explosive|M225 SAP-HE rounds that are used with the M6 Series pistol. The pistol rounds are smaller, with less powder and thus lower muzzle velocity and kinetic energy. They also operate on a different system, mixing both armor-piercing and high-explosive properties. This round is not high-explosive. |
1342 was a year in the 1340s in the 14th century.
Events
The Covenant discovers the Kig-Yar. Although the Kig-Yar initially attempt to resist absorption into the alliance, they quickly recognize that they are facing a superior force and submit, taking on the role of explorers and traders (and often thieves and smugglers). The Kig-Yar are also motivated by the potential trade and wealth the Covenant can provide.

Events As shown in the ''i love bees'' viral campaign, a temporal rip in space-time somehow sends part of the 's Artificial intelligence|AI, Melissa (AI)|Melissa back to this year. A Covenant AI known as the Seeker (AI)|Seeker follows them through. Melissa was so fragmented and malfunctioning that a built-in program called the System Peril Distributed Reflex was engaged to repair her. The SPDR recognized the Seeker as a harmful foreign application and attempted to kill it. The Seeker knew it could not kill the SPDR itself, so it convinced Melissa that it was an updated version of the SPDR so Melissa would disable "the old version". The Seeker did the SPDR's work in repairing the Melissa and accomplishing various tasks for her, but it also corrupted her goals with its own. Melissa was so fragmented that a buried personality, from the human brain her mind was built from, broke off into another being. This childlike personality called herself the Sleeping Princess and preferred to see things as a fairy tale. The Sleeping Princess, desperate for a friend, befriended the Seeker, whom she named the Pious Flea. The Seeker, who sought the truth, would ask the Princess for information; the Princess taught it human concepts such as fear and humor. In return, the Seeker protected the Princess from Melissa, who wanted to bury her in code. When Melissa managed to imprison the Princess, the Seeker went against its nature and absorbed the Princess without killing her. Instead, it joined the Sleeping Princess' and Melissa's minds together. The resulting being recognized the Seeker as a hostile Covenant AI and attempted to kill the Seeker, but it managed to hide. When the Slipspace rip closed, Melissa was thrown back to her own time. The Seeker, however, was left in the server with the SPDR. This time, the SPDR promptly killed the Seeker.
