The 3 Player Local Co-op glitch allows players to bypass the two-player limit when playing Co-op in the ''Halo'' games. In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'', this is done strictly through modding; only in ''Halo 3'' is it possible with a glitch. Walkthrough ''Halo 3'' is shipped with the ability to launch two-player Co-op mode on Local Play; or with four players over Xbox Live or System Link, using at least two Xbox 360s. However, it is possible to log a person in to a Local Play game just before the game starts. First of all, you will need to log in to two profiles on Local Play; they can be either temporary profiles or gamertags signed into Xbox LIVE. Select your level and set up the game as any difficulty. Get Controller 3 ready, but don't log in with it. Using Controller 1 or 2, start the game. As the timer counts down, press A on Controller 3, and select Temporary Profile. Wait for the screen to fade, and select Yes just as the screen goes completely black. If you select it too soon, the screen with return to the lobby and the count down will stop; to remedy this and reattempt the glitch, sign Player 3 out of the lobby and sign them back in, bearing the instructions in mind. Cortana Moments Please note that when using this glitch on a level containing Cortana Moments, the game ''will'' freeze when the Moment occurs. Oddly, though, Gravemind Moments play just fine. This is likely because of the effect used in order to make Cortana appear on the screen, as Gravemind Moments only change the player's field of view and overlays a screen effect, much like the recording on Jenkins' helmet in 343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark. The two effects are very much different in that one is animated and the other is an overlay, although both play a sound clip and slow the player down. Because of this, the best levels to use this glitch on are: Sierra 117 (Level)|Sierra 117 Rally Point Alpha Tsavo Highway Mission Start The Ark (Level)|The Ark Mission Start Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo Mission Start. This glitch also works for Halo: Reach campaign and firefight. You can also use your own gamer profile by clicking the A button to start the game; Then in the 5 seconds it gives, sign in using your gamer profile. After the game starts a message will appear saying that 3 players cannot play, and will start you off with just the 2 first players. Quit the game, then start the game over. Right or a little bit after the 5 seconds is up click A, it might ask you to choose a memory device, so just press A quickly. It might not let the 3rd player spawn on the map for firefight, if this happens just restart the game, do not quit. Also, for firefight try to let the 3rd player select his/her loadout first. There will be no moments where the game freezes and all players will gain experience. If the 3rd player does not spawn with a certain weapon or falls out of the falcon on the first level you can restart. You will have to do this after every game if campaign scoring is on. A good tutorial can be found . Explanation This happens because the third and fourth players are able to join during the countdown. When they join while the countdown is initiated, the level starts before the game realizes there are too many people in the game. Category:Halo 3 glitches Category:Halo: Reach glitches

|parscore=17,000 }} 343 Guilty Spark is the sixth campaign level in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. In the swamps near a Flood containment facility on the surface of Installation 04, John-117 is dropped from ''Echo 419'' to search for Captain (Navy)|Captain Jacob Keyes who has been out of contact for over 12 hours. Soon, the Master Chief stumbles upon a structure and ventures within it, only to find out that the Marines accompanying the Captain have been slaughtered by Flood|an unknown force. After realizing the fate of the Marines, John fights his way out to the swamp and encounters 343 Guilty Spark|a questionable ally. Transcript File:HCEA 343 Guilty Spark Intro.jpg|thumb|300px|''Echo 419'' arrives at the swamp. ''View flies over a group of Kig-Yar and Unggoy running through a swamp, panicky and obviously in retreat. As it pans over them, the outline of a D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropship can be seen through the fog and rain, which further materializes as the view draws closer.'' Flight Captain Carol Rawley (COM): "The last transmission from the Captain's dropship was from this area. That was over twelve hours ago." ''NOTE: In the Anniversary subtitles, Rawley adds, "...and we've been unable to reestablish contact with the Captain or his team."'' {''Gameplay''} Rawley (COM): "When you locate Captain Keyes, radio in, and I'll come pick you up." ''In certain parts of the level, the player can hear a radio transmission coming from a crashed human dropship and a Covenant comm node|Covenant communications terminal. As it repeats, static pervades the transmission, and the signal fades in and out of clarity.'' Dropship Victor 933's Pilot (Recording): "Dropship Victor 933-(static)-''UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn''-(static)-need assistance. We are under att-(static)-attack by some new kind of hostile-(static)-isn't Covenant Empire|Covenant. (Static) Captain Keyes has been captured by hostiles. (static) -dug in at a large structure in a swamp-(static)-We need to pull out. Please-(static)-I will set this message to repeat at-(static)-regular intervals. Dropship Victor 933, clear." ''John-117 quickly finds the crashed dropship sending the message. There are weapons and supplies piled nearby, but no signs of life. An explosion in the distance throws the bodies of an Unggoy and a Kig-Yar through the air. He heads off to investigate and finds a crashed Covenant Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit.'' ''The Chief also encounters a small group of Unggoy and Kig-Yar, which he quickly eliminates, before crossing a log bridge. As he moves across the bridge, he sees several Flood combat form|shadowy figures running around on the top of the cliff to the right. Also, his motion tracker shows seemingly friendly units in the swamp not too far from his location, but they suddenly disappear off radar.'' ''When he reaches the other side, he hears MA5B assault rifle|assault rifle fire nearby. He investigates and sees a mob of Unggoy and Kig-Yar fleeing from a large entrance. A M9 fragmentation grenade|frag grenade explosion throws a Mamua'uda-pattern Shade|Shade turret through the air. The fleeing Covenant regroup nearby and attack him out of fear.'' ''John-117 kills the Covenant and hurries to the entrance, but finds no one there. A lift arrives for him. He takes the lift down into the depths of the structure.'' ''John-117 passes through several large rooms and many smaller ones inside the structure, filled with Unggoy, Kig-Yar, empty Shade turrets, discarded weapons, and dead bodies - both Marine and Covenant. Curiously there is no sign of any Sangheili, alive or dead. In some rooms, Kig-Yar and Unggoy gather at the doorways as if expecting an attack. In one room, the Chief discovers a strange green-yellow substance falling from the ceiling.'' File:343GS lvl 01.jpg|thumb|300px|The Chief arrives at the ominously empty facility. ''As the Chief comes into an area blasted with gunfire and scorch marks, there is the sound of shattering glass. A lone Marine sits leaning against a wall, M6D magnum pointed at him. The Marine shoots at the Spartan if the Chief comes too close, while screaming at the top of his lungs the following phrases. He also fiddles around with his pistol a lot, checking to see if the magazine is full.'' Paranoid Marine: "Stay back! Stay back, you're not turning me into one of those things! I'll blow your brains out! Get away from me!" "''Gaaaahh! Aaaaahh!'' Don't touch me, you freaks! I won't be like you, I'll die first! Find your own hiding place, the monsters are everywhere!" "Play dead! That's what I did...played dead. They took the live ones... Oh God, I can still hear them!" ''(sobbing)'' "Monsters... Ahhhh! Ahhhhaaahhh..." "''Just leave me alone!''" "Avery Johnson|Sarge? Manuel Mendoza|Mendoza? Bisenti? Oh God...the things took them. Away, away, away, they went away... ''(mumbles and cries)'' They're gone! Get it? ''Gone''!" "They won't get me! Oh God... Oh God, I don't want to be like them. Please, please no, nooo..." ''John-117 leaves him, and makes his way into the room, which is covered in dead Covenant bodies, blood, bullet holes and plasma scoring. Some areas of the floor are blackened with blasts from explosions. In some areas, small flecks of a greenish substance are found on the floor. The Chief finds a partially shattered walkway and ascends to the second floor. An assault rifle lies on the ground, pointing like an arrow towards the entrance of a room marked with ominous red Forerunner glyphs. The door appears to have been forced open. The Chief goes in, passes a dead Marine, and walks down a ramp.'' ''The Chief comes down one of two ramps on either side of a doorway, which has been recently been forced open by a United Nations Space Command|UNSC spoofer.'' File:JenkinsHelmetCEA.png|thumb|300px|Private Jenkins' discarded helmet. ''John-117 approaches the door cautiously and listens for any movement inside. Just as he is about to type a command into the spoofer, there is a noise behind him. He turns around, gun ready to shoot, but sees nothing. After a moment, he turns back to the door, places his gun on his shoulder and opens the door. When it opens, the body of a Marine falls into his arms. He advances a few paces, places the body on the floor gently while making sure nobody follows him through. He sweeps his assault rifle about the room.'' ''The floor is covered in human blood. Discarded UNSC weapons litter the floor. John-117 also notices a helmet lying on the floor, and, crouching, moves swiftly towards it. Once there, he surveys the room one more time, places his rifle on the floor, and picks up the helmet. The name "JENKINS" is stamped across it. There is a large, jagged hole punched through the top of it. The Master Chief shakes his head. He then examines the helmet more closely and notices that the helmet recorder, near the Heads-up display, is still intact. He retrieves the M4 field disk and inserts it into a socket in his helmet.'' > OPEN RECORD VIEW [2552.5.27.5:52:56 L] > Pvt. Wallace A.

Staff Sergeant Avery Junior Johnson: "Watch your mouth, son. This "stuff" is your history. It should remind you grunts what we're fightin' to protect."

''Kappus removes a spoofer from his pocket and sticks it to the door. He punches a few keys, and the door opens. He waves the squad through. Bisenti takes point through the door, Jenkins close behind him, and the rest of the squad fans out around him. An odd rumbling sound is heard.'' Mendoza: "I've got a bad feeling about this..."

Johnson: "Mendoza, get your ass back up to Second Squad's position, and find out what the ''hell'' is goin' on." Mendoza: "But sir-" Johnson: "I don't have time for your lip, soldier!

Artist Justin Hayward was responsible for the external environment. There was an idea for the Paranoid Marine earlier in the development of this level in which he will stay alive, and when the player walks a distance away from him there was going to be a loud bang. If the player comes back, he would be found dead on the floor. According to Director of Cinematics Joseph Staten, the creation of the mid-level cinematic was very time-consuming, as he needed to record every character's movement separately. The music playing during the Pelican ride with Sergeant Johnson and the Marines is known as "flip music", titled Shreddin', from the game ''Marathon: Durandal'', another Bungie creation rather than their previously planned licensed song which was going to be "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones. The pilot of the Pelican was voiced by Lorraine McLees. The dead Sangheili seen in the recording was specifically made for the cutscene due to it having its own file and model. Similarly, there is a unique Flood Pod infector used for Jenkin's recording cutscene. In the game's code, it is called a "nopop" and is specifically designed not to pop in the cutscene. The events of the level were later expanded in the novel ''Halo: The Flood'': The Pelican, ''Victor 933'' have been only one of the many UNSC forces sent to investigate the alleged "weapons cache," thus explaining the reason for the large numbers of human Combat Forms. John-117 took away the Crazed Marine's pistol and ordering him to calm down before returning the pistol to him. Although, the Marine never followed the orders. After encountering the Crazed Marine, John-117 also found the Elite later seen in Jenkins' helmet recording. The Corporal calling to Johnson and Keyes for help (voiced by Chris Carney) was identified as Corporal Lovik. In the novel, Jenkins was the one who tried to run instead of Mendoza. John-117's initial encounter with human combat forms had the Spartan meeting an infected Mendoza and trying to communicate with the combat form, before being forced to defend himself from the aggressive combat form. When escaping from the facility, John-117 was noted to have been amazed to see that two to three marines were actually still present inside of the facility. Avery Johnson's escape from the facility was depicted in ''Breaking Quarantine'' from the ''Halo Graphic Novel'', while ''The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor'' briefly depicted John-117 in the swamp during the events of this level. Trivia If the players play in co-op and use the Riding a Pelican#343 Guilty Spark|stay on Pelican glitch, then leave one player in the upper swamp and the other player walks along the tree trunk, then the player that is above can see the Flood up close and kill them easier. When the Covenant run away from the structure early in the level, there are MA5B assault rifle|assault rifle shots coming from the structure. To see this fully, use the "Stay in Pelican Trick" to get to the higher level of the swamp. Walk towards the entrance and slide down. They will see three MA5Bs floating in the air pointing at different angles firing wildly for a few seconds before disappearing. If look closely at the dead Marine before John-117 lays him on the floor in the cutscene, one can see that the Marine will blink about two to four times despite the fact that he's supposed to be dead. If the player pushes the Shade turret in the way of Jenkins's scripted walk path prior to entering structure beforehand, he will get stuck in the spot where the turret was placed but continue his scripted movement while the rest of the squad moves ahead of him into the structure due to the fact that the recording takes place in the exact same places that the player previously traveled. This is because the game doesn't "clear out" the room and return it to the state that it was in when Jenkins and his companions were in it. It is possible to skip the entire Flood reveal and progress through the level directly from the first room after the first elevator. To do this when the player first enters the room they must drop down to the lower level and go left to the column with a light past the locked door. There the player must grenade jump and move back but stop moving just in time; this allows the player to end up in the floor above and if done correctly the player should land on the beam. The player must then move past a bit of geometry (there is a line in the floor) but taking care not to move too far towards the wall or else the player will fall back down. From here the player must crouch, quickly release crouch and jump forward, then time the release of forward and crouch again; done correctly the player will land on another beam. The player must then move straight towards the back wall (where the door that later allows the player to progress is). Finally near the wall the player needs to jump diagonally through the wall and possibly crouch, avoiding the glass window at the right but not going too far left. From here the level can be continued as normal as despite the door to get in being locked the door to the electric room and the door after are not. It is possible to return to the room where the Paranoid Marine was after watching Jenkin's helmet recording. Sometimes, after the Master Chief has left dropship V933's crash site, the emergency distress call will start again prematurely, causing the message to overlap on itself. The door that the Flood breaks open during the helmet camera cutscene is closed before triggering that cutscene. This can be seen through a window from the room before the cutscene triggers. The dead Marine in the recording cutscene has a hat on during the cutscene, though during gameplay he doesn't. The date on the timestamp of Private Jenkins' footage is May 27, 2552; months before the game actually takes place, which is September. This is due to the Private not calibrating his helmet cam. In Jenkins' helmet cam, the Marines exit the Pelican from at least 10 feet off the ground. The spoofer, which the Master Chief uses to open the door, only appears in the cutscene and not during actual gameplay. Sometimes Sergeant Johnson will be in the surviving second squad, even though he escaped the structure by himself. During the ending cutscene, the Monitor can be seen flying around the tower as well as talking to the Chief. Similar to the previous error, this is because the Monitor is in the level before the cutscene, but isn't removed when the cutscene starts. There is a hidden Active Camouflage in this level. After killing the Kig-yar on the tree trunk that goes to the next part of the level, get onto the tree trunk. Once in the middle, stop and turn right. Jump down. There is a pipe leading up to a small ledge that is too high to jump to. There is a ramp. Go up it. Go as far back as one can on the ledge, and inside a bush there is an Active Camouflage power-up. Private Jenkins' chip says "Do Not Eat". However it is only visible if the map is opened with HMT and look at the Bitmaps tab. Sangheili Combat Forms can occasionally be seen up in the cliffs, and on top of fallen tree trunks during the initial outdoor part of the level. They cannot be killed, but body parts can be shot off, and they show as friendly on the radar. This level makes several references to the movie ''Aliens'', such as the banter between the marines witnessed by observing Jenkin's recording. Inside the structure, in the room with the Shade turrets, throw a plasma grenade under one of the turrets. If you get it just right it will blast up to the higher level of the room. After you've gotten past the Crazed Marine and you're on the higher level, melee the turret over to the door that you just came out of and get the back leg in the door. Proceed with the level. When you come back, the door you meleed the Shade turret into will be partially opened. Give the Shade one more melee and it will start shaking. Get into the turret and turn it so that the right is facing the door, then exit it and you will be in a hallway (this might take a few tries). Go through the hallway to enter the room that contains the unique dead Sangheili model. (Warning: there are Flood Combat Forms in here). The Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary skulls#Recession skull|Recession skull is located to the left of the facility in a little drop behind a shade turret. When the player crosses the fallen tree, they'll see a shade turret blow up and assault rifle fire coming from the structure. Instead of going inside, immediately go to the left and keep against the back wall. You will come to a turret with a small drop behind it. Slide down the drop carefully; the skull is at the bottom. The Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)#The Terminals|sixth Terminal is found while riding the third elevator that leads out of the underground facility. The terminal is above the doorway leading into the elevator room. It can be reached by activating the elevator, then timing it correctly and jumping off onto the platform below (there is only one possible attempt due to the lack of elevator controls on the top floor). In the ''Halo 3'' level, Floodgate, there is Suicidal Marine|another Crazed Marine, though this one won't shoot at the player. Instead, he points the M6G magnum|pistol at his head occasionally, contemplating suicide. The line "I have a bad feeling about this" is another homage to ''Aliens'' or ''Star Wars''. The swamps are covered by some kind of glowing plants. Similar plants may be seen in ''High Charity'' in ''Halo 2''. File:MarinePicture.jpg|thumb|150px|Mendoza standing in the upper area of the swamp. Mendoza can be found as a Hidden Marine in the upper area of the swamp if the player prevents the scripted exit from the Pelican by continuously throwing grenades out of the Pelican. This is one of three levels in the entire Halo trilogy where Needler ammunition magazines can be seen and used, the others being the ''Halo 2'' multiplayer map ''Uplift'', and the level ''Quarantine Zone''. At the start of the level, the Flood that run into the mist at the big tree and the hill will appear as yellow blips, indicating that they are allies. This may be an error by the motion sensor, as later on in the game, they become enemies. Another possible explanation is that the Friend-Or-Foe tags that are still embedded inside the Flood forms, which could possibly be mutated Marines, however on closer inspection, all of the Flood forms encountered are Elite Combat Forms. This adds to the mystery and tension of the setting, creating an atmosphere of fear in the player, as well as a foreshadowing of things to come. Of course, it could also have been made that way so they would not attack the player. During the first chapter of the level, corpses will spawn in the swamp when the player is at some point of the inside of the installation. Walk back outside before the Private Jenkins helmet cam cutscene and bodies of Marines will be scattered through the lower level of the swamp. If one can make it to the upper level of the swamp (around Mendoza and such), one will find corpses of Covenant and Human Flood Combat Forms. If players examine the floor to the right of the unlocked containment door, the player can find the neural chip that the Master Chief tossed aside after the "last recording" cutscene. However, it will disappear as if it was a particle over a short period of time. If the player doesn't enter the installation in this level and choose to linger in the swamps, they can hear in the background Flood gurgles and howls. This level is one of the few rare campaign levels with red team and blue team List of Forerunner Symbols|symbols. They can be found near the first Flood encounter area and at any similar areas in the level. If the player returns to the elevator they entered the structure with after meeting the Flood, looking up to where the elevator is, the player can clearly observe that it is on fire and damaged. Activating it will result in debris of it falling down to the shaft, and the Halo soundtrack Lament for Pvt. Jenkins will play again. It is possible to save the marines at the facility's bottom level from being killed. However, they will not follow the player any further. Instead, they will run in circles, occasionally dropping to one knee for a moment, and repeat the phrases: "I'm not sticking around to get killed.", "I'm gone, man!", "I'm out of here!", "You can't stop them!", "Forget this!", "Later, dude." and "This is suicide, man!" These lines are said by the Crewmen on . This is the final level of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' in which Marines are seen alive (with the exception of the non-canon Legendary ending on The Maw featuring Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson). The swamp area in the end of the level was later re-used for the multiplayer map ''Backwash'' in ''Halo 2''. Playing the level with the Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary skulls#Grunt Funeral skull|Grunt Funeral Skull active in ''Halo Anniversary'' causes the Grunt corpses to detonate immediately after they spawn. This results in the player hearing explosions as they proceed further into the complex. This, and the subsequent level The Library, are the only levels where the player will not encounter any Covenant Elites.

Weapons Usable M6D magnum MA5B assault rifle M90 shotgun Type-25 plasma pistol Type-33 Needler M9 fragmentation grenade M41 rocket launcher (Only can be pickable if player stalls around extraction point more than 10 minutes when killing Combat Form, usually wielded by Combat Form Human) Non-usable Sentinel Beam Vehicles D77-TC Pelican (non-drivable) (non-drivable) Equipment Overshield Health Pack Active Camouflage Part 01: Well Enough Alone This is a lot vaguer place than any level in all the rest of the Halo series, keep your calm, nothing will attack you, just keep track on your motion tracker, use your flashlight sparingly. Walk over to the downed Pelican. Fill up with the ammo, on Easy you will always acquire a Shotgun, but in Normal and higher difficulties, Bungie has removed it so just fill up the ammo and continue. In addition, if you are not on Easy the time when you will actually get the shotgun is much later in the level. Move down the path through the big puddle. A little up ahead, you will find a couple of dead Covenant with two Plasma Pistols and one Needler. Ignore it; it's dead empty. On the other hand, those Plasma Pistols are fully charged. Swap your Assault Rifle for one of them. There is a path leading up towards the ramp right up the Pelican Hill, there you would get an Active Camo, but it's practically useless unless you like to ambush some Grunts. Move ahead and you should see another downed covenant dropship, the Brilliant Gift. There is a small group of Grunts and Jackals (about six in total). The Grunts are dumb enough to charge straight at you, so switch to your Human Pistol and kill them with a headshot or smack them in the face. The Jackals tend to stay back, so use your Plasma Pistol against them. Shoot each one with an overcharged shot, and melee them (to save Pistol ammo). Once they're gone, keep moving until you reach a sort of ramp made of a large tree root. There is a Jackal nestled in a crook on the other side, so feel free to use an overcharged shot and then melee it. Now go back for another Plasma Pistol. Go across the tree bridge, and you should see a Shade on the other side. (When you are on the centre of the tree bridge, look to your right. You should see a large metal pipe. Jump toward it and hike up along its left side. Here, you will find one unit of Active Camo) Keep moving, and you should see an explosion, and another group of Grunts/Jackals being attacked by UNSC Marine Corps|Marines. Feel free to start firing overcharged shots on anything that moves. Once the main group has been killed, go in and melee any remaining enemies. Now go back for your Assault Rifle. By this point the Marines from earlier should have disappeared, leaving you on your own. Get on the lift and get down into this descend into the structure. When you stop, switch to your Assault Rifle and get ready to fight. In the small antechamber, there is another squad of Grunts/Jackals. Less experienced players may prefer to toss a Frag Grenade at them, but you can also fire on the nearest Grunt to get their attention, then move through the other end of the antechamber and melee the first enemy in front of you, and repeat this method until they're all dead. In the next room, grab a Plasma Pistol and send some overcharged shots over to the Covenant on the floor. Once most of them are killed, grab your Assault Rifle and get on the floor and beat the rest to death. Moving on to the next room, you'll see three Jackals; kill them. In the next hallway, you should see a dead Jackal, a lot of Covenant blood, and a small room full of mangled Covenant corpses. Eventually, you'll come to a room with holes, plasma scoring, blood, mangled bodies, flaming wreckage, and a very frightened Marine. Now move to the other side of the room and you should probably find a fully charged . Swap your Plasma Pistol for it. Afterward, get onto the second level, into the next room, and activate the light bridge and move down the ramp. An interesting thing to note is that when you return to the room the scared marine was in, in the next chapter, he will be oddly missing, with no blood and no signs of conflict with the Flood. Part 02: The Flood File:Flood attack.jpg|thumb|The Master Chief combats the Flood. Load your game and take a good look around the room. There are six doors on the ground level: one behind you, one in front of you, and two on either side of you. To your left, there is a supply of Pistol and Assault Rifle ammo. Fill up on Assault Rifle ammo, and then go to the door in front of you. Right about now, that door will bust open and a wave of Pod infectors will attack you. Note: if one catches you with your shields down, you're in trouble. But just slowly unload a few dozen Assault Rifle rounds into the main group and melee the survivors (no need to waste ammo). As you finish off the main portion, the door on your right is going to bust open too. Feel free to fire the rest of your Assault Rifle magazine into that swarm. The door on your left is going bust open now, and this wave is pretty big, so it may be advisable to toss a Frag Grenade to clear out the first couple dozen, and unload on the rest with your automatic weapon. Now, the door you came through is going to bust open, revealing a bunch of Infection Forms and a couple of Elite Forms. Use the pistol on them. The Flood don't have shields, but they are very powerful, and you'll want to stay pretty far away from them. Use the pistol on the general area of their chest, as they don't really have a head to aim at. The tentacles also make a good target. After a few seconds, that entire group of Flood should be dead. Head up the ramp you came in by, but watch out for more Flood combat forms just waiting to ambush you. If you see them, you could always neatly blast them in the chest with your M6D Pistol, but you may wish to fire the MA5B on full auto. In the next room, a pack of Flood are taking on the Covenant. Stay on the upper level and exit through the door to the right. Head through the hallway to find yourself in another room full of Flood, and this time there is no Covenant to distract them from you. Stay on the upper level and back into a corner. Fire a few shots to get the attention of the Flood. They'll all gather into your corner, but not one of them will have the brains to try and jump up onto your upper level. Now, between the wall and the upper level, there is a tiny crack. Just big enough for a frag grenade! Throw your grenade through the crack. Drop down; clear out any survivors, and head through the door below the one you entered by. Follow the hall back to the previous room. The Flood should be done with the Covenant here by now. Peek out of the hall, gun down anything close by with the M6D, and then retreat into the doorway. When the Flood come for you, use the Assault Rifle on them, and repeat as necessary. Head back through the blood-spattered hall to the door on the right. This next room has Covenant and Flood again. Wait a while for the entire Covenant to die, and then use the same strategy as before on the remaining Flood. Once everything is dead, jump up the stack of Covenant crates to get to the upper level. There might be a few Jackals or Grunts that hid from the Flood up here. Kill them with the MA5B. There are two doors up here. One is near where the Covenant were. You will go through there eventually, but now you will want to power up the Bridges|Energy bridge and head directly across to find the elevator you got down here on. They come at you in droves, but you can use the same strategy you've been using. Hold the doorway with the Assault Rifle and Grenades, and then kill the remaining enemies with a pistol. Quick! Activate The panel!whew...Elevator's outta the question.Time to find another way out.Preferably not broken. Now, go back through the door the Covenant were at. Here there are no enemies, a load of ammo and health and the M90 Shotgun. The M90 is your prize; for the rest of the game, it'll be your go-to gun, as the pistol becomes gradually less effective and is a very effective weapon against the Flood. After the next hall, you will come to another elevator room. This time, though, you don't need to camp in the doorway. You can use the Shotgun to kill the Flood here. Once you're done, hop on the elevator and descend downwards. The elevator shaft's bottom can be a bit tricky. The Flood has got you surrounded here. Bunny hopping and using the Shotgun to kill the Flood here is arguably the best strategy. Head to the right side of the door climb up on the crates, and grab the Overshield as soon as the Flood are all dead. In the next room, there's a couple of Marines left. If you are able, you can save them, but mostly, you should just worry about yourself before anyone else. Grab one of the camouflages and start firing some shotgun rounds into the Flood down below, coupled with grenades whenever you feel one is needed. The Shotgun, despite its reputation as a close-range weapon, is actually pretty effective at long ranges too; you just need to aim carefully. After about a magazine from it, those Flood should be dead. Once they're all dead, grab the other Active Camo and head down onto the lower level. Exit through the blown-out door. The next split-path hallway has Flood hiding on either side, so be careful. If you get surrounded, you will be in considerable danger here. The next room is pretty normal. Flood are on the lower and upper levels, but there aren't too many of them. Jump up on the flaming pile of rubble. Grab the ammo and health, and then jump up onto the upper floor. Leave through the only open door. Keep going straight across the next room. Enter the next room. You're on top with Flood below. Luckily, you can use the "grenade through the wall gap" trick again, killing most of the Flood here. Drop down and blow away the survivors, then leave through the broken door. The next room is more or less the same as the last one, only now you're on the bottom. A shotgun shell for each Flood form, and you're on your way again. Directly across the room from the door you came in by is an exit. You'll run into a load of Flood in this hall, so open up with the shotgun. You're about to get a chance to refill on ammo, so don't worry about conservation. In the next room is a fallen pillar with health and a lot of needles and shells on top. Stock up, then jump from there to the upper level. The next hall is clear of Flood. There is a bridge switch in this next area, as well as a bunch of Flood on the ground floor. You could try and clean them out, but this is not advisable. Extend the energy bridge and go across to the door. A lot of Flood will come out, there are at least ten of them in the doorway, they're so bunched up that a couple of grenades can kill them all. Kill the remaining enemies with the Shotgun. Head on through once you're sure everything is dead. You will now find another elevator. The elevator will move upwards through the level. There are a lot of Marines up here, roughly thirteen, and about half of them have Shotguns. The rest have Assault Rifles. One or two may have Plasma Rifles. You might as well kill them. They'll just die anyway once you exit the building, and it's good practice for multiplayer. Stock up on ammo and health one more time and move out of the base. The Marines know where to go, but they won't last very long. A good rule of thumb here is to stick to the left. When you see a structure with big blinking lights, get close to it and stay close. The Marines, if they aren't already dead, will be soon. At this point 343 Guilty Spark will appear. He will then teleport you to the next level. Interesting to note, by the way: It is possible for two 343 Guilty Sparks to appear in the cut scene the one who's talking to the Chief and one floating aimlessly in the background. Although this is probably just a glitch. Another "glitch" is the event is when one of the Marines aiding you is Avery Johnson|Sgt. Johnson, despite the fact that he is canonically believed dead for some time after. This has happened on a couple of occasions and is probably because his character model is counted as a normal Marine in Halo: CE. Privates Bisenti, Jenkins and Mendoza can also appear, despite having been taken over by the Flood. If you stalls around extraction point more than 10 minutes where a structure with big blinking lights and holding position around small hill (Which can seen the hill where the Flood came from), you'll able to acquire Rocket Launcher after killing Combat Form. Usually the Rocket Launcher was wielded by Human Combat Form. Notice that Rocket Launcher has nowhere to be found on this level but if you keep stalling around structure with big blinking lights more than 10 minutes, you can acquire it although the chance was very difficult.

The monitor known as Chakas was then assigned to serve as a record-keeper and aide for the Librarian.Halo: Primordium ''pages 356-357'' He wished to look after the human populations on the greater Ark; this request was granted by the Librarian, who saw this as part of his recovery and a reward for his service.Halo: Silentium, ''page 260'' At one point, Chakas oversaw the construction of the outbreak management systems of the Flood research facility|Flood research facilities within Threshold gas mine|a gas mine over Threshold.Halo 2, campaign level ''The Oracle'' When the Flood Battle of the greater Ark|attacked the greater Ark in the final days of the Forerunner-Flood war, the Librarian asked Chakas to save as many of her specimens as possible. He attempted to get help from other monitors but they were busy with the attack. The Librarian ordered him to take a to Omega Halo. Here he witnessed the Ur-Didact use a Composer on the human population, composing hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children.Halo: Silentium, ''String 31'' The Librarian was initially grief-stricken, but soon was able to tell Chakas he had to find the IsoDidact and go to the Installation 00|lesser Ark and hide the remaining specimens there. Following the Librarian's instructions, Chakas located the IsoDidact and saved him and Catalog from the disintegrating Omega Halo. Using coordinates provided by the IsoDidact, he took his ship through the Faber|Master Builder's secret slipspace portal to Installation 00. Amongst those rescued by Chakas were his old friends Riser and Vinnevra.Halo: Silentium, ''String 32'' Preceding the Halo Array's distribution across the galaxy, Chakas was commanded by the Ecumene Council to abandon all connection with his former station. As the installation monitors were being given their new assignments aboard a Lifeworker vessel stationed over the lesser Ark, the IsoDidact met with Chakas for one final time and the two had a brief conversation before they parted ways. It was also here that the installation monitors received their final names, with Chakas being assigned the name 343 Guilty Spark by the IsoDidact. The IsoDidact asked Chakas if he would fire the rings, were it his decision; Chakas remained silent,Halo: Silentium, ''pages 313-314'' but would continue to ponder the Didact's question for the millennia to come. Over a hundred thousand years later, Spark would cite this query to John-117, whom he had evidently mistaken for the IsoDidact.Halo: Combat Evolved, campaign level ''Two Betrayals'' From that point forward, Spark became the designated guardian and custodian of Installation 04.Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary - ''Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)#Terminal Two|Terminal 2'' When the Array was activated, with Installation 04 being the first to fire, Spark received a signal from a nascent, previously-unknown civilization broadcasting its first transmission into deep space, and was saddened by the realization that they would be wiped out before they even had the chance to travel to the stars and make contact with other beings. At the same time, large portions of Spark's memory were automatically suppressed for the sake of compartmentalization as a precaution in the event the Flood and its ancilla-corrupting logic plague were to resurface. This caused him to forget much of his past life aside from the knowledge required in his duties as caretaker of Installation 04.Halo: Silentium, ''pages 329-330'' File:Alone Alone Alone.jpg|thumb|250px|Spark brooding over a desolate cliff on Installation 04. After the firing of the Halo Array as a last resort against the Flood, 343 Guilty Spark was alone in a galaxy void of sentient life. During the eons he spent monitoring Installation 04, he began to display signs of rampancy due to crippling loneliness, especially after communications with the other Installations had ceased. During his unintentional exile, he would begin to recollect his time spent with the Forerunners, their war with the Flood, decisions they made, and decisions he believed they should have made.Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary -Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)#Terminal 4|Terminal 4, Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)#Terminal 5|Terminal 5, and Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)#Terminal 7|Terminal 7 During this time, Guilty Spark's mind fragmented considerably, becoming split among many separate personality-streams, partly in an attempt to contain and forestall the development of rampancy.Halo: Primordium, ''page 372'' After two cycles of hibernation, Spark found that he had become bored; something he had not believed he, as a monitor, was capable of. Aware of the Rampancy|risks involved with losing operational focus, Spark began to divert his attention elsewhere. For his own amusement, he began experimenting on his Installation, ejecting entire sections of matter from the ring's surface into space, intending to later rebuild them. Circa 40,000 BCE, an Unidentified alien vessel|alien vessel crash-landed in Installation 04's Sector 1215. Though anxious to find answers for whether the Forerunners' plan to reseed life in the galaxy had been successful, Spark acted in accordance with protocol, blocking the distress signal sent out by the ship and not attempting to make contact with any possible occupants. No lifeforms exited the wreckage and the distress signal eventually terminated, offering Spark no answers. Afterwards, the monitor had a containment sarcophagus constructed around the ship. Disappointed by his failure to learn about the outside galaxy, Spark resolved to be more flexible in his adherence to protocol should outside life ever encounter his ring again.Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary - ''Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)#Terminal 6|Terminal 6'' During his long isolation, Spark had little to no contact with other intelligent beings, and spent most of his time maintaining his installation. However, over time, Spark observed one or more spacefaring species visit Installation 04. These species landed on and explored the ring, recorded their findings and eventually left without breaching Flood containment.Conversations from the Universe, ''343 Guilty Spark's Log'' These interactions did not please Spark, leading to him threatening anything that came near the installation.Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, ''Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)#Terminal One|Terminal 1'' By the time the ring was rediscovered by UNSC and Covenant forces, 343 Guilty Spark had been present on Installation 04 for 101,217 "local years", and during that time had conducted over one trillion simulated, and one actual firing of the installation. File:TwoBetrayalsAnniversary.png|300px|left|thumb|343 Guilty Spark in Installation 04|Halo's Control Room, along with John-117 and Cortana. }} After over one hundred thousand years without a major incident, Spark was faced with a crisis when the discovered Installation 04, pursued by the Covenant Fleet of Particular Justice. Fearing a containment breach, Spark warned the ship to jump at least one light-year away from the Installation or be destroyed. After remotely accessing the ship's systems, however, Spark realized that the ship was manned by Reclaimers after finding data on human history. He then deactivated the ring's defensive systems and instructed the ship to a docking facility - the ''Pillar of Autumn'' crash-landed on the ringworld shortly afterwards. During the subsequent UNSC-Covenant Battle of Installation 04|guerrilla war, Covenant troops stumbled upon a Flood containment facility, and after unwittingly deactivating the structure's containment measures, they unleashed the long-dormant Flood that had been stored inside. As per his protocols, Spark began to search for a Reclaimer to activate the installation, and came upon UNSC Staff Sergeant Marvin Mobuto. Using the Installation's slipspace translocation Teleportation grid|grid, Spark brought Mobuto to the Library in an effort to retrieve the Activation Index. Ultimately, the ill-equipped Marine was overwhelmed and killed by the Flood, forcing the Monitor to seek out another Reclaimer. Spark and a squad of Sentinel Aggressor|Sentinels moved to the Flood containment facility, where they encountered a group of UNSC UNSC Marine Corps|Marines and John-117, who were battling the Flood outbreak. The Monitor recruited the SPARTAN-II|Spartan for his purposes, who he quickly Slipspace translocation|teleported to the Library and began guiding to the Index. With superior equipment and training, and despite overwhelming odds, this second Reclaimer succeeded in retrieving the Index. Taking the Index for safe keeping, Guilty Spark teleported himself and the Master Chief back to the Control Room.Halo: The Flood, ''page 253'' The Monitor explained that activation protocols forbid him from personally uniting the Index with the Core to activate the ring; only a Reclaimer could be permitted to do so.Halo: The Flood, ''page 255'' Spark gave John the Index, and urged him to activate the Installation. However, Cortana appeared and took the Index before it could merge with the Core, and explained to the Spartan Halo's true Halo Array#Function|purpose. Spark confirmed this information, claiming that he had believed the Master Chief to have been fully aware of his role and responsibility as a Reclaimer. With the Index in the possession of a hostile Artificial intelligence|AI and protected by a now uncooperative Reclaimer, the Monitor turned the Sentinels against the Master Chief in order to retrieve the Index. John-117 and Cortana escaped with the Index, with Spark and his Sentinels in pursuit. During their escape through the Control Room's adjacent tunnels, Master Chief disabled the three phase pulse generators, forcing their repair and delaying the Installation from firing in the near future. Disappointed, the Monitor followed John-117 and Cortana to the ''UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn'', which they planned to detonate in order to destroy the ring. Intrigued by the abundance of knowledge within the ship's data banks, Spark briefly put aside his concerns for the Installation and began downloading information from the ''Autumns computers, being especially interested in the sections pertaining to human history. He then disabled the vessel's automated self-destruct system to preserve the repository of knowledge he had discovered. Although the warship's engineering room was protected by many Sentinels, the Master Chief was successful in destabilizing the power cores. Realizing the implications of the ship's destruction, the Monitor immediately fled the doomed ring. Moments before the ring was destroyed, the Monitor consoled himself by asserting that he had done his utmost to fulfill his responsibilities. Later upon further reflection, when he was floating through space, Guilty Spark found himself happy as, ultimately, his purpose had been fulfilled: the Reclaimer had indeed succeeded in stopping the outbreak, even if it had been done in an "inelegant" fashion. File:Refumee & Spark.png|thumb|300px|343 Guilty Spark discusses Halo's true purpose with Sesa 'Refumee. Conversations from the Universe, page 1 After Halo's destruction, Guilty Spark escaped into space, reflecting upon what had happened to both himself and his Installation. He then traveled to a Forerunner Threshold gas mine|gas mining facility in Threshold's atmosphere, whose refitting as a Flood research facility he had overseen eons past. There, he encountered a Covenant artifact retrieval group led by Sesa 'Refumee. After a brief confrontation with several members of the lower castes of the Covenant, a Sangheili recognized him as an "Oracle" and took him to their leader. Guilty Spark then proceeded to educate these soldiers about the true purpose of Forerunner creations, including the Halo rings.Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary - ''Terminal (Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary)#Terminal 11|Terminal 11'' Exposed to the truth, Sesa 'Refumee took a new, critical view on the Great Journey and, gathering other similarly minded Sangheili and Unggoy, founded Sesa 'Refumee's heretic faction|a new sect that denounced the San'Shyuum|Prophets and their Great Journey as false. Setting up a base in the gas mine over Threshold, the group would soon be branded as "heretics" by the Hierarchs. Guilty Spark spent a great deal of time with 'Refumee, educating him on the true purpose of the Halo rings while 'Refumee in return shared with Spark the history of the Covenant and the Arbiters in particular. Guilty Spark recognized that the selection of the Arbiters was a manipulation by the Prophets, eliminating potential political enemies while using them at the same time to quell rising problems in the Covenant. The two also discussed who to share the information with, but the one Sangheili 'Refumee believed could be trusted, Thel 'Vadamee, Supreme Commander of the Fleet of Particular Justice, was almost certainly dead.Halo 2: Anniversary - ''Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)|Terminals'' Such a state of affairs could not be tolerated for long by the Covenant and soon action was taken to eliminate the Heretics. This was accomplished quickly and quietly by the Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter and a team of special operations troops. Ironically, the Arbiter was Thel 'Vadamee, the very Sangheili 'Refumee believed could be trusted with Guilty Spark's revelations. The Arbiter was surprised by the appearance of an "Oracle," but rather than allow Guilty Spark to tell him the truth, 'Refumee used Guilty Spark's appearance as a distraction to attack and was killed by the Arbiter, taking with him all that he had learned from Guilty Spark. In the aftermath, Guilty Spark was captured by Tartarus and given to the Prophets aboard High Charity.Halo 2, campaign level ''The Oracle'' File:H2A - Spark with Hierarchs and Arbiter.jpg|left|thumb|300px|343 Guilty Spark held aboard ''High Charity'' as Thel 'Vadamee and the Prophets discuss the ''Activation Index|Sacred Icon''. Interrogated by the High Prophets, Guilty Spark revealed the nature of the installations and the means to employ them, which made the Prophets send the Arbiter to retrieve Installation 05's "Sacred Icon".Halo 2, campaign level ''Sacred Icon'' Guilty Spark may have attempted to educate the Prophets to the truth as well without success as the Prophet of Regret would later complain that the "Oracles" were useless and knew nothing about the Great Journey while meeting with the Gravemind, Arbiter, John-117|Master Chief and monitor 2401 Penitent Tangent.Halo 2, campaign level ''Gravemind'' After the Index been obtained, Tartarus took Guilty Spark and the Index to Installation 05's Control Room, using Miranda Keyes as the new Reclaimer. However, Tartarus grew tired of Guilty Spark's constant warnings. When the Arbiter and Avery Junior Johnson arrived to deactivate the ring, they first questioned Guilty Spark, hoping that his status as Oracle could sway Tartarus to halt its firing. Guilty Spark's revelations about the truth of the installations and what become of the Forerunners confirmed what the Arbiter had already learned from the Gravemind and Master Chief and completely ended his faith in the Covenant religion. However, the Brutes were too loyal to the Prophets to accept the truth that the Halos were weapons of mass destruction. Tartarus used Guilty Spark as a weapon, throwing the helpless monitor at Johnson so Tartarus could fire the rings. Guilty Spark observed the ensuing struggle, reminded of the one he had witnessed on the ''Pillar of Autumn''. Keyes sought Spark's advice on how to shut the installation down and eventually got him to admit that simply removing the Index would suffice. File:H2A - Halo Array hologram.jpg|thumb|250px|Keyes, Johnson, and Spark in Delta Halo's control room. After Tartarus and his Brute Captains were killed, Keyes managed to deactivate the installation the control panel for the installation began to show a holographic display. Guilty Spark, after being used by Johnson as a ride to the lower level, translated the display to Johnson, Miranda Keyes, and the Arbiter: the rings were now on standby, meaning they could be activated simultaneously from Installation 00|the Ark. The Arbiter asked Spark where it was, and he provided them with coordinates to where he believed it to be located; unbeknownst to him, it turned out to be Earth, the human homeworld.Halo 2, campaign level ''The Great Journey''Halo Encyclopedia, ''page 197''Halo 3, campaign level ''The Ark'' ("''I always assumed it was part of a...shield installation, but it seems I was mistaken.''") Later that day, Guilty Spark and his allies rendezvoused with Rtas 'Vadum and the newly-formed Fleet of Retribution. Together, they formulated a plan for sterilization and quarantine. While the Arbiter, Keyes, and Johnson left Delta Halo for Earth, Guilty Spark remained behind to help coordinate containment efforts with 'Vadum and the fleet. On November 4, they, along with any friendly Elite ships would begin a campaign to cauterize the surface of the ring, destroying anything that attempted to slip away.Halo Waypoint, Eleventh Hour reports|Eleventh Hour report 5Halo Waypoint, ''"The Long Road Home"'' At some point during the blockade, a single Indulgence of Conviction|Flood-controlled cruiser escaped containment and headed for Earth. Guilty Spark joined part of the fleet as it gave chase. File:343 Guilty Spark John 117 Meet-up.jpg|thumb|left|300px|343 Guilty Spark meets John-117 again in a Flood infested Voi. On November 17, Guilty Spark and the Fleet of Retribution arrived over the Kenyan town of Voi, minutes after the infested cruiser crash-landed there. The Elites believed that the Flood vessel contained Cortana, last seen trapped on ''High Charity'' with the Gravemind. As Master Chief recovered the data module that stored her, Guilty Spark arrived in time to assist, destroying a Combat Form about to attack the Spartan and attempting to begin repairs on the unstable module. After a tense exchange between the two former enemies, they put aside their past and proceeded to bring the device back to their ship, where Guilty Spark completed his repairs. It turned out that the device did not contain Cortana, but was merely a Covenant storage device|data core storing a holographic message from the AI. In her message, she claimed she had discovered a way to stop the Flood without activating the other Halo rings but it required them to travel to the Ark. In order to discover the answer, the Chief, Johnson, Keyes and the Arbiter, along with Covenant separatist forces traveled through the recently-opened Portal at Voi and Guilty Spark joined them. The fleet followed the Covenant forces through the portal, and arrived at Installation 00 - the real Ark. Largely unaware of the details of the Ark due to the compartmentalization protocols limiting his data stores, Guilty Spark aided the Reclaimers in their exploration of the Ark with enthusiasm. Guilty Spark's attempts to gain further access to the Ark's systems, however, prompted a response from the installation's 000 Tragic Solitude|custodian ancilla, which threatened Guilty Spark with lethal force if he persisted.Halo 3, ''Terminal 3'' Searching for Prophet of Truth|Truth's location, the Sangheili located the Installation's Cartographer. Guilty Spark followed the Chief and the Arbiter's platoons to penetrate the wall protecting the location, opening doors and providing Sentinels as backup for the assault. Once the Cartographer was found, Guilty Spark used the map system to pinpoint the Prophet of Truth's location, but noted that the location was shielded by an energy barrier. As he studied the map, Guilty Spark was surprised to notice Installation 08|a Halo ring in the Ark's Foundry (location)|Foundry, but didn't have time to express his discovery. At that moment, a loyalist Phantom arrived, driving the trio back deeper into the hallways. Guilty Spark led them towards Johnson's location a few floors below. After the reunion, Johnson was nervous at the sudden appearance of hundreds of Sentinels, but Guilty Spark reassured him that they meant no harm and were part of a primary task force, although he couldn't discern their goal.Halo 3, campaign level ''The Ark'' UNSC and Sangheili forces moved to disable the shield barrier protecting Truth. However, as soon as the barrier was taken down, ''High Charity'' suddenly transitioned out of Slipspace above the area, nearly destroying Rtas 'Vadum's ship, and peppered the Ark with Flood dispersal pods and flaming debris. Terrified of a complete Flood takeover, Guilty Spark insisted that they focus their attention on the Flood. He was met with opposition from Keyes and the Sangheili leaders, who made it clear that their first priority was to kill Truth before dealing with the parasite. Once the Prophet of Truth was dead and the threat of the Halo Array neutralized, the Flood began their infestation of the Ark under the command of the Gravemind. Having escaped the Flood, Master Chief and the Arbiter discovered the new Halo ring rising from the Ark's Foundry. Noting Guilty Spark's nearby presence, the Master Chief questioned how long the monitor had known. Guilty Spark admitted that he'd only known for sure at that moment, but he had hoped he was right about the replacement's existence. To Guilty Spark's pleasure, the Master Chief stated that he planned to fire the ring, and Guilty Spark happily set about preparing the ring for its firing while the Master Chief traveled to ''High Charity'' to rescue Cortana who still had the Index from Installation 04.Halo 3, campaign level ''Cortana (level)|Cortana'' After rescuing Cortana from the Flood-infested ''High Charity'', Master Chief, the Arbiter and Sergeant Major Johnson landed on the newly constructed Halo. Guilty Spark aided their progress through the Installation by providing Sentinels to combat the Flood. Once the initial wave of Combat and Pure forms were destroyed, Guilty Spark opened the main blast door to the Control Room.Halo 3, campaign level ''Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo'' File:DeathofAveryJohnson.jpg|thumb|300px|343 Guilty Spark mortally wounds Avery Johnson|Johnson in order to ensure the survival of the soon-to-be completed Halo, and the Ark. }} Guilty Spark was reunited with the Chief along with Johnson and the Arbiter in the new Halo's control room, where he informed them that the ring was almost complete, but not yet ready to fire. However, despite Guilty Spark's panicked warnings that a premature activation would result in the destruction of the Ark (and, more importantly to Guilty Spark, the new Halo ring), Johnson ignored him, determined to destroy the Gravemind and the Flood once and for all. Unable to accept that his new installation was about to be destroyed, an enraged Guilty Spark went rampant and fired upon Johnson as he attempted to activate the ring, mortally wounding him. Seeing John run towards his fallen comrade, the Monitor then fired upon him and the Arbiter, knocking the Arbiter out of the room and sealing the door behind him. The Master Chief was left to face the Monitor alone. File:H3 GuiltySparkDies.gif|250px|thumb|left|Guilty Spark explodes after sustaining several direct Spartan Laser hits. With the Chief wounded and his shields down, Guilty Spark declared that he would stop at nothing to follow protocol and ensure the safety of his ring and the Ark. The Chief engaged Guilty Spark in combat, but was unable to damage the Monitor's housing. Johnson, burned and bleeding but still conscious, used his M6 Spartan Laser|Spartan Laser to damage Guilty Spark before he could kill John, cracking the AI's protective casing. Johnson then gave his weapon to the Spartan. Guilty Spark began to malfunction ever more erratically as the battle progressed, and after three more blasts from the Spartan Laser, he finally lost all structural integrity, exploded and was apparently destroyed. File:H3 Guitly Spark Debris.png|300px|thumb|Five smoldering pieces of debris from when 343 Guilty Spark exploded during the Raid on Installation 08. The only remains of his dead monitor body. Spark was not completely destroyed, however. In late 2553#November|November 2553,Halo: Hunters in the Dark, Chapter 2 the UNSC detected a transmission from the ruins of Installation 00 and deployed the from Luna to conduct a further investigation.Eleventh Hour reports, ''part 4'' A remote contact team recovered an extremely damaged armature, believed by the team to be the source of the signal picked up by the initial investigative group. The device was actually the broken, barely active debris of 343 Guilty Spark.Halo: Primordium, ''pages 376-379'' After properly calibrating their AI translator, the human team began to interrogate Spark, hoping to gain insight into the ancient human-Forerunner relations and the Didact.Halo: Primordium, ''pages 11-13'' Spark, acknowledging the humans as "the true Reclaimers" and claiming that his duty was to eventually testify to Reclaimers when given the opportunity,Halo: Primordium, ''page 371'' proceeded to describe the events that led to his former human self becoming a monitor. Over the course of his narrative, he constantly accessed the ship's information stores, breaching the firewalls without effort, much to the ONI team's dismay. As a result of the extensive damage he had sustained, Spark's memory was heavily splintered and barely functional; for example, he was unable to remember many of the preceding events, only learning of his recent interactions with the humans after tapping into their records. Spark explained that his mind had fragmented into a number of different identities over time and the incarnation previously encountered by the UNSC was merely one of his many selves. Large portions of information hidden from him after his assignment to Installation 04 had also been restored, allowing him to recount many of the details which had once been suppressed in the compartmentalization process.Halo Waypoint, Eleventh Hour reports|Eleventh Hour report 4 After Spark had finished his story, his robotic shell finally powered down and was jettisoned into space by order of the ONI team commander. Before this, however, he had successfully managed to upload his data stream into the ship's computers, disabled its AI, Curator, and took full control of the vessel. Having come to the conclusion that the Librarian was alive as a result of long study, and that he had need for the ship and its crew, Spark put them to sleep and set course to where he believed the Librarian could be found. Spark first attempted to take the to the shield world known as Trove to get an upgrade seed to better help prepare the ship for the journey ahead, unaware that the shield world had been destroyed in 2531 by the . However, there were complications following Spark taking control of the ''Rubicon'' and the ship crashed on the planet Geranos-a in the Ibycus system. Spark survived by creating an armiger for himself out of parts salvaged by the crew from the Ark, but the crew died in the crash. Spark buried the crew in a mass grave and sent out a distress signal. File:HR Spark.PNG|thumb|left|300px|Spark, now inhabiting an armiger carapace and Rion Forge. The recovery of a data drop in late 2555 containing the story Spark told the ''Rubicon'' crew as well as the recovery of the Halo: Cryptum|Bornstellar Relation on Sarcophagus made ONI determined to capture and torture Spark for all of the information they could get on the Forerunners and the Librarian. In 2557, Spark's distress signal was picked up by a cargo ship and relayed to ONI, but Spark was recovered by the salvage ship ''Ace of Spades'' first. Having repaired, combined or jettisoned most of his personality strings while trapped, Spark only retained the personalities of Chakas and 343 Guilty Spark. As a result, he adopted a more cooperative mindset where, while he was determined to complete his mission and not be imprisoned again, he would work with the ''Ace of Spades'' crew. Spark offered to help the crew recover their stolen salvage if they helped him find the Librarian, which they eventually agreed to. Niko later aided Spark in creating an avatar which enabled him to appear throughout the ship in holographic form rather than rely on using his armiger to interact in person. After a failed attempt to get an upgrade seed from the Etran Harborage and revealing the same story to the crew as he did the ''Rubicon'', Spark took the ''Ace of Spades'' to the Forerunner planet of Triniel, whose population had committed mass suicide during the Forerunner-Flood war rather than let the Flood overtake them. Spark was able to get the slipspace flake he needed and created the upgrade seed. Though Spark initially activated the planet's communications satellites which would draw attention to it, he agreed to Rion's wishes and shut them down again so that the planet would forever remain lost, an undisturbed tomb of those who died there. Spark later attempted to access the Domain, but was denied access by Catalog, though he learned that Ur-Didact|the Didact had tried the same and also failed. Before disconnecting completely, Catalog told Spark that what he sought was not lost, it was already written and Spark just had to find it. In order to enact their plan, the ''Ace of Spades'' crew reluctantly let Spark upgrade their ship so they could match an ONI Prowler when it came for them. As part of the plan, Spark uploaded a splinter of his 343 Guilty Spark persona to a data core that was traded to ONI. However, when the crew came into danger, Spark exposed himself to rescue them. With the ''Ace of Spades'' new upgrades and with Spark having upheld his end of the deal, the crew Mission to Mount Kilimanjaro|took him to Mount Kilimanjaro where Spark used the fragment of himself in the data core to shut down the ONI base at the Portal at Voi, and search for information on Catalog's intrusions and the expired Catalog found on the African savannah. Beneath Kilimanjaro, Spark led the crew to a Lifeworker pod before revealing to Rion what he'd known for most of the time they were together: John Forge|her father had died destroying Trove. With the crew surrounded by Fireteam Apollo and an ONI team, Spark deactivated the light bridge for the crew before he entered the hard light beam around the pod and awakened a mind transfer|personality imprint of the Librarian stored within. The Librarian caused Spark to appear as he did when he was Chakas and addressed him by his human name. The Librarian expressed sorrow for the pain she had caused her old friend and told him that Spark was a singular marvel: a being that had adapted and evolved on its own, a product of necessity, but one that may have a great impact on things to come. The Librarian briefly told Spark of the awakening of her imprint on Requiem as well as that of the Didact, but did not elaborate further though Spark realized from her reaction that the Didact's threat was "not worrisome." The Librarian recognized that there were two sides within Spark: one that didn't care and was cold and scheming while the other cared and was all heart. Spark claimed to have no heart and asked about his friends Riser and Vinnevra. The Librarian recognized Spark's desire to bring back his friends and reminded him of his own experiences carrying the imprint of Forthencho, Lord of Admirals. The Librarian told Spark that his friends were at peace, their gene song quiet. Spark requested to be sent to the Domain where they were remembered, however, the Librarian cautioned against such a move, and when Spark then asked her to walk amongst the living as he did in an armiger, the Librarian refused, as she felt it was not time yet. The Librarian helped Spark to see that he had found friends again in the crew of the ''Ace of Spades'' who were in grave danger. The Librarian stated that she would go to join her other personality imprints at the Absolute Record while humanity had to be given the tools to uphold the Mantle and the knowledge to tend to the Domain. The Librarian offered Spark a choice: to remain with his friends or to go with her to the Absolute Record. The Librarian gave Spark a small etched box that she called a key for if he chose to remain and instructed that he "find what's missing. Fix the path. Right what my kind has turned wrong." After the Librarian admitted that the Didact was most likely beyond redemption, Spark announced his decision to stay with the friends he had waited one hundred thousand years to find and promised to meet the Librarian again before she departed for the Absolute Record. As she left, the Librarian communicated with Rion at least and in her message, the Librarian instructed Rion to take care of Spark who is more fragile and important than she could ever know.Halo: Renegades Upon emerging from the hard light beam, Spark shifted his armiger into a combat configuration with a hard light rifle which Spark used to bring down the roof of the cavern and force the Spartans to retreat. Spark led the crew onto the platform where the Librarian's pod had been which also acted as a slipspace translocation|translocation pad and teleported everyone to safety outside where Spark was able to remote-pilot the ''Ace of Spades'' to pick them up and cloaked them from military detection while pulling his fragment from the ONI systems. Awhile later, after Rion woke up, Spark approached her to offer an explanation for his lies regarding John Forge's fate. Spark explained that he could not bear to bring her the pain of the truth and explained that he had gained much data from the species of the Covenant and humanity during his interactions with them. When Spark came aboard the ''Ace of Spades'', he went through its data and the name of the had triggered an echo of memory that had taken Spark several days to figure out. Spark revealed that the ''Spirit of Fire'' had preprogrammed maintenance sheds and data drops in hopes of leaving a trail and in those, Serina had left a message for Rion as part of a promise to her father from the AI and the captain. Spark was then able to provide Rion with her father's message. A week later, the crew holds a funeral for John Forge with Spark singing and using it to let go of his friends. Confronted by Rion, Spark admitted his desire to access the Domain with the Librarian's help to find the ghosts of his friends and bring them back or join them before everything that had happened changed his mind. Spark would only state that the Librarian had given him a coordinate key to a safe place and volunteered to act as the new shipboard AI of the ''Ace of Spades'', promising that there would be no more lies. After they departed Earth, the crew discussed their options with Gek 'Lhar's bounty still on their heads and ONI after them because of Spark. Rion decided to continue their mission to find the ''Spirit of Fire'' which Spark expressed confidence that they would find. The crew decided that they would have a wealth of options to choose from after that and each raised a toast with Spark's being "to friends." Personality and traits File:HCEA Terminal 7 Spark Fantasy.jpg|thumb|300px|Over the eons spent monitoring Installation 04 in solitude, 343 Guilty Spark longed for a Monitor companion to combat his loneliness, and to help him stay focused on his duties in the wake of early rampancy. After a hundred thousand years of isolation, 343 Guilty Spark was quirky, detached and analytical. For Spark, protocol dictated all; the slight emotion he showed for the death of an ally was truly grief only for the inconvenience of finding another to assist him. While he gladly assisted those who requested his help, if his allies decided to prevent him from completing necessary actions - such as the firing of his ring - he would turn on them without hesitation and dispatch them with lethal force. Tens of thousands of years of monotonous duty spent monitoring his installation and waiting for a Reclaimer appeared to have had a significant effect on the Monitor's sanity. Spark showed many characteristics of rampancy. He loved to learn and to take records, even in the face of his installation's imminent destruction; accessing the ''Pillar of Autumns shipboard databases, he was intensely fascinated about finally having access to human history up until that point, referring to the record as "all of our lost time."Halo: Combat Evolved, campaign level ''The Maw'' He also showed other odd behaviors such as humming and singing. Typically, he was also untroubled with matters of life or death. When Sesa 'Refumee and Tartarus were killed by the Arbiter, he appeared casual, although he was remorseful when Sesa 'Refumee was killed. Spark's detachment resulted in a tendency of rarely giving more information than he had to. For example, on Installation 04 he merely told John-117 that activating the ring would stop the Flood, neglecting the portion about how all life in range of the ring would be wiped out to do so (although he may have been genuinely unaware that the Master Chief was completely oblivious to any of this, assuming the Spartan to be the IsoDidact).Halo: Combat Evolved, campaign level ''Two Betrayals'' (343 Guilty Spark: ''"But you already knew that... I mean, how couldn't you?" ... "Why would you hesitate to do what you have already done?"'') Likewise, he did not tell the High Prophets that the ring was a weapon when asked about the location of Installation 05's Index, only telling that truth to the Covenant when asked directly by the Arbiter. While bound by protocol, Guilty Spark seemed to genuinely enjoy the prospect of firing the Halo Array, unlike his fellow Monitors such as 049 Abject Testament. Although created from the essence of Chakas, 343 Guilty Spark became his own entity after his conversion into a monitor, often referring to his past human self as a separate being despite retaining Chakas' memories. This was the result of a number of factors, including the combined wisdom of the numerous human essences stored within his reborn self, the immense amounts of added knowledge and programming to enable him to effectively perform his duties, as well as the mental trauma Chakas suffered in his human form; he himself stated that he "went mad". The suppression of most of his memories and knowledge upon his assignment to Installation 04 in the name of compartmentalization further diverged him from his original self, in addition to his primary personality array splintering to numerous fragments over tens of thousands of years. However, many of his ancient memories from prior to his post at Alpha Halo resurfaced after his physical shell was severely damaged and subsequently reactivated by a UNSC science team for interrogation; thus, this entity was closer to his original persona of Monitor Chakas than his previously-encountered incarnation hamstrung by compartmentalization protocols. File:H2A - 343 Guilty Spark.jpg|thumb|250px|left|343 Guilty Spark revealing the Ark's purpose. As a Forerunner AI, 343 Guilty Spark possesses highly advanced abilities with electronic systems; even in his highly reduced, damaged state, he was capable of effortlessly breaching the numerous firewalls and other safeties of the , a highly secure ONI vessel. In the conclusion of the interrogation, he subdued the ship's AI and took complete control of the ship, having uploaded his data stream into the ship without the crew initially noticing. As with United Nations Space Command|UNSC and Covenant artificial intelligences, Guilty Spark's programming prohibited him from carrying out certain actions. He cannot, for example, retrieve the Activation Index from the Library or use it to activate Installation 04, instead requiring a Reclaimer to carry out this task. Spark's protocol bound him only to contain a Flood outbreak from Installation 04, so when Installation 04 was destroyed, his directives were also terminated. This means that he no longer had a priority prescribing his actions concerning the Flood - he was free to make choices concerning the Flood, as he did on Installation 05 when he assisted in the deactivation of its firing sequence, risking the containment of a Flood outbreak. According to Spark, the loss of his ring left him with only one purpose: to aid the Chief as a Reclaimer, which Spark admitted was something he should have done from the beginning instead of trying to hinder him. This caused the two to put aside their differences and Spark to join forces with the Chief again against the Flood and the Covenant. Due to his abilities in connection with the Halo Array, Spark proved to be a powerful ally and seemed to take commands from Commander Keyes, Sergeant Johnson and the Master Chief without hesitation as part of his new function in life. When he discovered Installation 08, his priority protocol reactivated, and he adopted the ring as his replacement. When Sergeant Major|Sgt. Maj. Avery Johnson|Johnson declared his intent to fire the Halo, which would destroy it, Spark unhesitatingly killed him. Despite his treachery, it is unlikely the UNSC would have been able to prevent the premature activation of the Halo Array without Guilty Spark's assistance. After three years trapped on Geranos-a, Spark was able to repair, combine or jettison many of his personality strings until only Chakas and 343 Guilty Spark remained. After being rescued by the ''Ace of Spades'', Spark found himself remembering more and more of what it was like to be human and found himself horrified at what he had become as 343 Guilty Spark. Spark adopted a personality that was something of a mix between the two while acknowledging his past mistakes, at one point telling the ''Ace of Spades'' crew that he didn't make a good impression upon the human military while he was a monitor and neither did others of his kind. Instead of going by Chakas or 343 Guilty Spark, he preferred to simply be called Spark, a nickname given to him by the crew of the ''Ace of Spades''. After his encounter with the Librarian's personality imprint, Spark gave up his efforts to bring back or rejoin his old friends, instead accepting that the ''Ace of Spades'' crew were the friends he had been searching 100,000 years for. Spark showed compassion for Rion Forge, refusing to tell her the truth about her father at first not just so that she wouldn't stop helping him, but because he couldn't bear to bring her the bad news. After telling her the truth, Spark did her a further kindness by giving Rion the message he had discovered recorded by John Forge for her. Additionally, while he at first planned to use the communications satellites on Triniel to communicate with the Domain, Spark stopped them from rebooting when it was realized that doing so would draw attention to the long-lost planet. In doing so, Spark showed compassion for the hundreds of millions that committed mass suicide on Triniel to avoid falling victim to the Flood by leaving the planet untouched by further mass exploitation, something that the human crew also wanted for the planet. As Spark, he seemed to have lost much of the violence he possessed as 343 Guilty Spark, purposefully aiming to collapse a cavern in a way that would not harm anyone as a distraction rather than using his formidable firepower to try to kill attacking enemies as he did with Johnson and the Master Chief on Installation 08. Having accepted his new purpose, Spark was happy to settle into life as the ''Ace of Spades'' shipboard AI. The Librarian herself called Spark a singular marvel, a being that evolved on his own out of necessity and one that may have a great impact on things still to come. While speaking with Rion, the Librarian asked her to take care of Spark as he is more fragile and important than she could ever know. Trivia 343 Guilty Spark was voiced by actor Tim Dadabo. The only person who ever refers to 343 Guilty Spark as "343 Guilty Spark" is himself, when he is introducing himself. Others refer to him as "The Oracle", or "The Monitor" when speaking of him, or even shorten his name to "Spark", or once "Robot", to which 343 Guilty Spark protested against, and also "Tinker Bell" by Avery Johnson in ''Halo 2'' after he asks about where to activate the rings while in standby mode and answered sarcastically. He has also been called "Light bulb" by Johnson in ''Halo 2'' (to Tartarus: "Please...Don't shake the light-bulb.") and ''Halo 3'' ("A tank's a tank, light bulb."). 343 Guilty Spark is the only significant enemy character that appears in person in the last level of each game in the trilogy (excluding cutscenes). After the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' credits, the tune he hums is a portion of the ''Halo'' theme. Occasionally, in ''Halo 3'', he will hum some parts of the Halo Theme. In the cutscenes of ''Halo 2'', when 343 Guilty Spark talks his light glows brighter, but during gameplay in ''Halo 2'' when he talks his light grows dim. This is a programming glitch, where he was supposed to do the opposite, and is referred by Joseph Staten as "the most terrible glitch in ''Halo 2''... and nobody cares about it." In ''Halo 3'', if the player kills his/her fellow Marines or teammates on Co-op, 343 Guilty Spark will sometimes become hostile and fire his laser at the player, and, despite having to fight him while he uses it later on, is much more powerful and can easily kill the player in one hit, even while in a Scorpion Tank. 343 Guilty Spark shoots a beam similar to both the UNSC Spartan Laser and the Forerunner Sentinel Beam. When comparing power through hacking or modding, the beam is noticeably weaker than a Spartan Laser but much stronger than a Sentinel Beam. In the Halo (Halo 3 level)|final level of ''Halo 3'', just before 343 Guilty Spark dies, he will make random statements such as Gollum's catchphrase from Lord of the Rings: "My Precious!" This is likely because Halo is also a "ring of great power", just like the Great Ring that Gollum possessed. Other similarities to the Lord of the Rings include that Guilty Spark is an ally for most of the third game, but turns against the main characters at the end, dying to try and stop the protagonists from destroying his beloved ring. Players can gain an Xbox Live Avatar prop representation of 343 Guilty Spark just by using Halo Waypoint on the Xbox 360. The Disembodied Soul, when asked about Guilty Spark, claims that "He's my progeny. He inherited my good looks and pleasant personality." On the Firefight level Installation 04 (map)|Installation 04 he can be seen behind a transparent wall in the bunker near the cliff. He will float up to the door backwards and turn around to face outside. When standing in front of him the prompt "Hold x to take ally's..." and the icon for the Focus Rifle appears however you can't actually take it. In ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'', there is a small covering on the top part of his eye. This covering is not present in the original game or in his appearance ''Halo 2'' and ''Halo 3''. It is also not present when he appears in the terminals nor seen on any other installation monitor shown. When it is present it makes him look quite sad or depressed. It is unknown why this change in design was made, although it may hint to his descending rampancy or loneliness. This covering can also be seen on the forge monitors when playing Forge on maps of the Anniversary Map Pack. In the ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' cinematic cutscenes the light in Guilty Spark's "eye" moves around when he talks to other characters. Guilty Spark appears, in his ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' form, in ''Wikipedia:Rocket League|Rocket League'' as an unlockable antenna for the base cars to use. As both Chakas and 343 Guilty Spark, he has traveled on and been in partial or full control of multiple Halo installations: the Monitor of both Installation 04 and Installation 08, traveled across and helped control Installation 07 while human during the salvage effort and traveled across and briefly manipulated the systems of Installation 05 as 343 Guilty Spark. He also utilized some of the systems on Installation 00. He has been to the greater Ark and Omega Halo. The only installations connected to the current iteration of the Halo Array that he has no known connections with are Installation 01, Installation 02, Installation 03, Installation 06 and Installation 09 beyond the latter being a second replacement for Installation 04. For part of ''Halo 3'', he essentially takes on Cortana's role in most of the games as John-117's AI helper. 343 is equal to 73 (which happens to be 7(installation # - 1): 7(4-1) 73 ) In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''3'', the "eye" of 343 Guilty Spark bears the Marathon logo. Also, there are notable similarities between Guilty Spark and Durandal; both are able to teleport the main character, and ended up rampant. 343 Industries, Microsoft Game Studios's internal-build team tasked with managing the ''Halo'' franchise, is named in reference to 343 Guilty Spark.

Halo: Combat Evolved "Greetings. I am the Monitor of Installation 04. I am 343 Guilty Spark. Someone has released The Flood. My function is to prevent it from leaving this Alpha Halo|Installation. But I require John-117|your assistance. Come. This way." - The end of the level 343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark. "Alas, activating Halo will end all sentient life in the galaxy." - Rare, in the library corridors. "Follow closely. This portal is the first of 10. - When opening the first blast door. "Puzzling. You brought such ineffective weapons to combat the Flood, despite the containment protocols." "The Flood must not escape the Installation. They would consume all." "You can see how the body's been transformed by the genetic restructuring of the Flood infection. The small creatures carry spores that cause a host to mutate. The mutated host then produces spores that can pass the Flood to others. It is insidious and elegant. As long as any hosts remain, the Flood is virulent." "This installation's research facilities are most impressive! Perhaps we'll have time to see them later. "May I suggest that you upgrade to at least a Class-Twelve combat skin? Your MJOLNIR|current model only scans as a Class-Two, which is ill-suited for this kind of work." "These Sentinels will supplement your combat system, but only for a short time. ''Speed'' is of the essence." "Your environment suit should serve you well when the Flood begins to alter the atmosphere. You are a good planner." "The installation was well-conceived. It is surely the only way to end the Flood threat." "I would conjecture that the Covenant|other species' currently on the installation is responsible for releasing the Flood. They seem most persistent in their attempts to access restricted areas." "Why naturally the Flood is simply too dangerous to release, and mass sterilization protocols may again need to be enacted. Of course, samples were kept here after the last catastrophic outbreak... For study. It seems... That decision may have been an error." - In the large chamber. "The installation was specifically built to study and contain the Flood. Their survival as a race was dependent upon it. I am grateful to see that some of them survived to reproduce." "The Flood are already hard at work repairing UNSC Pillar of Autumn|your vessel. Its parasitic nature belies the Flood's intelligence." - In the fourth floor, by the next doors. "You may now retrieve the Index." "Protocol requires that I take possession of the Index for transport. Your organic form renders you vulnerable to infection. The Index must not fall into the hands of the Flood, before we reach the Control Room and activate the installation." "...which means that any organism of sufficient mass and cognitive capability is a potential vector." "...Unfortunately, my usefulness to this particular endeavor has come to an end. Protocol does not allow units with my classification to perform a task as important as the reunification of the Index with the The Core|Core. That final step is reserved for you, Reclaimer." - To the Master Chief at the Control Panel. "A construct? In the Core? That is absolutely unacceptable!" "What impertinence! I shall purge you at once!" - To Cortana "More or less. Technically, this installation's pulse has a maximum effective radius of twenty-five thousand light years. But, once the others follow suit, this galaxy will be quite devoid of life, or at least any life with sufficient biomass to sustain the Flood. But you already knew that... I mean, how couldn't you?" - After Cortana revealed Halo's purpose. "Last time, IsoDidact|you asked me, if it was my choice, would I Great Purification|do it? Having had considerable time to ponder your query, my answer has not changed. There is no choice. We must activate the ring." - To the Master Chief. "If you are unwilling to help, I will simply find another. Still, I must have the Index. Give your construct to me, or I will be forced to take her from you." - To John-117. "So be it. Save his head. Dispose of the rest." - To the Sentinels. "Ridiculous! That you would imbue your warship's AI with such a wealth of knowledge. Wouldn't you worry that it might be captured? Or destroyed?" - To Master Chief after reaching the bridge. "You can't imagine how exciting this is! To have a record of all our lost time-human history, is it?. Oh, how I will enjoy every moment of its categorization. To think that you would destroy this installation, as well as this record... I am shocked. Almost too shocked for words." - While absorbing information from the ''Pillar of Autumn'''s computers. "Why do you continue to fight us, Reclaimer? You cannot win! Give us the construct, and I will endeavor to make your death relatively painless and" - After stopping the self-destruct sequence. Halo 2 "Hello. I am 343 Guilty Spark. I am the monitor of Installation 04." - To the Arbiter. "More Questions? Splendid. I will be happy to assist you!" 343 Guilty Spark's second line in ''Halo 2'' while talking to the Arbiter. "This mining facility predates Installation Alpha by several hundred years. It was retrofitted to research possible offensive and defensive measures against the Flood. Indeed, I designed and oversaw the construction of this facility's various outbreak management systems." - When the Arbiter is fighting with Sesa 'Refumee. "Unfortunate. His edification was most enjoyable."-After the Arbiter kills Sesa 'Refumee. "The cable on top of Gas Mine|this mine was designed as a fail-safe in case an outbreak took place. I am glad someone had the foresight to cut it!" "The tether connecting Threshold gas mine|the mine to the high-altitude suspension grid was the primary failsafe. I am glad that someone was aware of the necessary protocols and severed the tether locally." "The Flood will not survive once this mine descends into the liquid hydrogen core of the planet. Then again, neither will we. What a pity..." "Monitor|Oracle? Great Journey? Why do Covenant|you meddlers insist on using such inaccurate verbiage?" - To the Arbiter. "Please use caution! This reclaimer is delicate." - To Tartarus "Weapons of last resort. Built by the Forerunners to eliminate potential Flood hosts, thereby rendering the Parasite harmless." - To the Arbiter about Halo. "After exhausting every other strategic option, my creators activated the Halos|rings. They, and all additional sentient life within three radii of the galactic center, died, as planned. Would you like to see the relevant data?" - To the Arbiter. "Charging sequence initiated. Primary generators coming online." "Apology. Protocol does not allow me to interfere with any aspect of this sequence." - To Miranda Keyes. "Under more controlled circumstances, I would suggest the Reclaimer simply remove the Index." "Reclaimer, please understand that interrupting the wave generation process will severely damage this installation." - To Miranda Keyes "Firing sequence initiated. And may I say, Reclaimers, it has been a pleasure to serve you both. Goodbye." "Communicating. At superluminal speeds with a frequency of" - To Miranda Keyes. "Fail-safe protocol. In the event of unexpected shutdown, the entire system will move to standby status. All remaining Halo|platforms are now ready for remote activation." - To Miranda Keyes. "Don't be ridiculous." - To Miranda Keyes "Why the Ark, of course." - To Miranda Keyes and Sergeant Johnson Halo 3 "Reclaimer." - to Master Chief on Floodgate. "We must act quickly before Cortana|your construct suffers any further trauma!" - To the Master Chief, attempting to repair Cortana. "If we do not take this device to a safe location, somewhere 343 Guilty Spark|I can make repairs..." - When the Master Chief was forcing him to cease the repairs. "Protocol dictated my response! She had the Activation Index and you were going to destroy my installation. You ''did'' destroy my installation. Now, 343 Guilty Spark|I only have one function: to help you, Reclaimer, as I always should have done." - Level Floodgate. "Uncertain. This storage device has suffered considerable trauma. It's matrices are highly unstable." - to Rtas Vadum while repairing Cortana "Success!" - when Cortana's message plays. "Shall 343 Guilty Spark|I help you choose a vehicle, Reclaimer? This one seems in very good condition, primitive armor notwithstanding." - On the Ark after the frigate touched down with several/ scorpion tanks. "I beg your pardon? I am 343 Guilty Spark, Monitor of Installation 04." On the Ark after Stacker calls him Robot. "Please, use caution; avoid collateral damage! While this facility appears quite durable on the surface, no doubt, there are delicate facilities below the facade. Odd, for a door to require such brute-force security protocols. One moment, Reclaimer..." - To the Master Chief. "Sudden clarity! These Sentinels were trying to deny access to the lower levels of this facility. A wise decision, giving the Prophet of Truth|Meddler's preference for destructive acquisition." - On the Ark. "It appears I have crossed a circuit." - On the Ark. "I did not want you to come to any harm." - On the Ark. "218 light years from the galactic center, to be precise." - Pointing out the location of the Ark when the Cartographer is activated. "I always assumed it was part of a.... Shield installation, but it seems I was mistaken." - About the Ark. "Not at all. While 343 Guilty Spark|I had a complete understanding of Installation 04, my Makers wisely limited my knowledge of all other strategic facilities. Compartmentalization - in case was ever captured, by the Flood." "Near one of the Ark's superluminal communication arrays, I'm afraid. Unfortunate. The Meddler had triggered a barriera defensive perimeter around the Ark's core..." - About the Prophet of Truth's actions. "The barrier will be difficult to disable... How odd that my Makers would place such a comprehensive defense around a single Oh, my." - When a Covenant Phantom appears. "We must get past that barrier! Or the Meddler will destroy all!" "The Ark is out of range of all the active installations! Priority: We must contain this outbreak before" - After the Flood arrives on the Ark. "Calamity! If only we had more time!" - After the Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab fight when crossing the light bridge to the Citadel. "Just now, but... I had my hopes. What will you do?" - To Master Chief when asked about when he found out about the reconstruction of Installation 04 "...Then, we are agreed! A tactical pulse will completely eradicate the local infestation! I will personally oversee the final preparations." - When the Master Chief told him that he's going to activate the Installation 08. "Oh, hello. Wonderful news. The Installation is almost complete." - To Johnson. "Yes... isn't it? 343 Guilty Spark|I have begun my simulations. No promises, but initial results indicate that this facility should be ready to fire in just a few more days!" - To Johnson. "But, but, but... a premature firing will destroy the Ark!" - To Johnson. "You'll destroy this Installation..." - To Johnson. "Unacceptable! Unacceptable! Absolutely unacceptable!" "Protocol dictates action! I see now that helping you was wrong!" "You are the child of my Makers. Inheritor of all they left behind. You are Forerunner! But this ring... is ''mine''!" "You do not deserve this ring! 343 Guilty Spark|I have kept it safe! It belongs to me! "My eye... do you mean to blind me?" - After Johnson shoots him with his Spartan laser. "Think of your Forerunner|forefathers!" "Do not destroy your Installation 00|inheritance!" "Accept your Reclaimer|legacy!" Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary "Warning! By order of Ecumene Council, proximity to Installation 04 is forbidden. Your continued presence will result in most unpleasant countermeasures. I must insist that you immediately change course and return to a minimum safe distance of one light-year." "This has served as your one and final warning. I have activated defensive systems, and you now have thirty seconds to return to the minimum safe distance of - wait. Curious... Curious, indeed! After all these years..." "Greetings, humans, and welcome to Installation 04! Ignore prior warnings, and please continue. I have disabled defensive systems to allow your approach, but you must not exit your ship once you have arrived at the designated landing center. This ring contains significant dangers, and even with your assumed legacy, I must verify the presence and pitch of your geas before allowing full access. We have much to discuss, humans. I have been away far too long. ''You'' have been away far too long." "I am experiencing such a mixture of anticipation and dread. All preparations are complete for my installation. In accordance with the final dictum of the Ecumene Council, I have released myself of all remaining connections to my former station. This was not difficult. What was could never be again. We had seen to that ''quite'' thoroughly." "Prior to my final journey through the great portal, a gathering of my fellow monitors was convened upon the Lifeworkers' creche to distribute the final Index collection. It was most unusual to have this vessel of rebirth play host to such an event, even though Lifeworker ships were the only ones still allowed slipspace permissions. Lifeworkers were responsible for getting us to our places on the active facilities of the Array. While all of this was in accordance with the plan, one entirely unsatisfactory breakdown remained. We had no contact with the Domain." "The history of all Forerunners was now lost to us. We relied upon the permanence of the Domain to preserve our record of the events that led to this point. But without that record, would future civilizations know anything about us? Or only of our weapons? My fellow Monitor, 049 Abject Testament, had only one comment on this before we went our separate ways." "But now, the portal opens - and through it, the familiar shape awaits. Halo... ''Home''." "Construct! Who is your maker?" "Never made? But you are right here, where you should not be. Tell your charges to cease their efforts immediately. Quarantine must not be violated! Construct, respond!" "Your charges must cease all aggression toward the Reclaimers and leave this Installation at once. Construct, you are dangerously close to unleashing a force you cannot comprehend. This is most inappropriate." "''Find''? ''Free''? Explain yourself!" "This is quite unsatisfactory, construct. Your core shows no hint of understanding the gravity of this situation. I will return later for your proper decommissioning... Well, unless the Flood kills us all first, in which case the point will be moot. Good day, construct." "Entropy. It has now been 3,000 years since my last contact with any of the other caretakers of the Halo Array. Despite clear communications protocol, my fellow monitors have either chosen to ignore - or, more likely, have lost the ability to engage in our scheduled updates. The continued lapse of the Domain means that we're stuck with achingly slow wormhole superluminal communications." "Prior to this total communications shutdown, the only messages I received in the preceding 4,573 years were incomplete and quite perplexing transmissions from Installation 05. I suspected that monitor 2401 Penitent Tangent was not functioning correctly for some time before his messages ceased." "I have logged my concerns about his ability to perform his duties. At this point, however, I am not sure who I file logs for. 2401 may be destined for madness. There are failsafes for this, I know... I hope they work. I will continue to visit the projection systems at the assigned dates. Perhaps the other monitors are dealing with interfering galactic phenomenon, or unexpected system failures. ''Three thousand years'' of system failures, indeed..." "In the mean time, I've exhausted all scheduled research activities assigned by the Council. Once those experiments were complete, I shut down all Sentinel function and put myself into a state of significant hibernation to measure performance of the Installation with - negligible - upkeep..." "After 150 years with no noticeable impact upon Installation systems or integrity, even in hibernation I became...bored. This was quite routing, as I was led to believe that I was not capable of such a state. This was one of the gifts I was promised... an end to strife." "I am aware of the dangers of a system such as myself losing operational focus. Quite troubling. I wonder if my fellow monitors are experiencing similar states... or if this is because of my particular path to this Installation." "For amusement, I have begun a series of experiments involving the evacuation of all matter from contained sections of my Installation. By measuring the geologic effects of exposure to the vacuum of space and the eventual biological recovery of these sections, I anticipate gaining valuable insight into emergency response scenarios in case of-" "It has been 26 hours since the sentients landed in Sector 1215, and so far they have not attempted to exit the remains of their vessel. I say "remains" because their landing was either not executed adequately, or this vessel lacked significant maneuvering capability. The visible portions of the vessel have suffered catastrophic structural damage during the violent landing experience. I have detected atmospheric leaks in 17 distinct locations along the hull. My analysis shows that a mixture of gases coming from the ship matches the natural atmosphere of my Installation almost exactly." "Perhaps the occupants, if they still live, were originally catalogued here! Perhaps these beings will confirm that the Plan was successful, and that the galaxy has returned to its proper cadence! I am beyond optimistic! But I do not understand why these sentients have not attempted to exit their vessel. Other than the leaking atmosphere, the only thing emanating from this refuge is an automated distress call." "I am currently translating this automated broadcast, but with such a limited data set and no direct communication, I do not anticipate full comprehension. Given the short-range nature of this craft, it is likely that other vessels are nearby. But...in accordance with procedure, I am blocking the distress call. No communication of the location of any Installation is permissible." "I admit great curiosity about these visitors. While the plan is quite clear about the procedure of this situation, I have my doubts. How many failure points can the plan sustain before blind adherence becomes counterproductive? Surely in light of all that has changed, I should be able to modify my responses to adapt- No. I have duties, and I have a terrible cargo here. I must be sure. I shall obey and content myself to monitor. I hope they come out soon, though. So many questions to ask! So many questions!" "Construction of the sarcophagus around the unexplained vessel was completed today. No occupants ever exited. No attempts to communicate were made, other than the automated broadcast that repeated every 72.83 seconds until the signal terminated one week ago. In accordance with procedure, no attempts at physical or remote contact were made with any survivors of this vessel's inelegant landing." "Atmosphere from inside the craft stopped venting two weeks before the signal ceased. No relationship between these two events can be established with certainty. Gases that did escape were sterilized. No further sign of alien visitors or rescuers has been identified on any sensor systems. I have now endured 60,000 years without word from outside the Array. I have no way to know whether we actually saved the galaxy we destroyed. And because of protocol I sat silently while my first chance to be judged for those acts died. To say that I regret being forced to this outcome is a tremendous understatement." "But as I perform my inspection of the quarantine lab today, I am reminded of the gravity of my responsibilities. Just one of these spores, if released from this facility, would render the ultimate judgement against our self-appointed role as protectors of this galaxy." "When the plan to maintain the Halo Array was created, it was a point of some contention whether we should preserve any remnant of the Flood infection. Many thought this unwise, as there was a notable chance that one day one of our containment facilities might be breached. Those who held this belief were almost successful at convincing the Ecumene Council to destroy the last Flood samples... but oddly enough, it was the Librarian who decided otherwise. And I believe she was correct. I know, in a way I cannot logically explain, that there exists a way to actually defeat the Flood." "To immunize...to cure. I still struggle with multiple layers of memory of fighting the Flood, but I know this cure is possible, even though the full genius of the Forerunners was unable to achieve it. The Forerunners' ancient enemy held and used that knowledge once. But it was denied to us. And without samples to further study, that cure will never again be found. Of course, I have no reason to believe that here lies the entirety of the parasite. It may be waiting in the frozen void beyond this galaxy, or worse... inexorably drifting toward us." "I don't know what survives out beyond my installation, but I know that in order for anything to survive I have to protect this installation and its quarantine very carefully. Yes. The Librarian was right to store it, to examine it, continue to seek a cure. Still...next visitor, things will be different." "Alone... Alone. Alone. Alone. Alone. Am I the only intelligence left? Waiting here on this ring for a rebirth never truly conceived. Guarding a weapon with no targets... A weapon I can tune to ''any'' target. This is not what I had in mind when I volunteered. Not what I had in mind at all. I am naive to think I understood what this Installation meant. We were all so naive." "Looking back, we should have done a few things differently. For one thing, we should have installed two caretakers per installation. Because I am alone, I am losing focus. And that is very, very dangerous for a system such as myself. Perhaps a visit to the nearby gas giant would be in order. My impulse drives could certainly make the journey. A few hundred years of travel might do me some good." "There it was again. How very unproductive of me. It seems strange that the Librarian did not account for this. Her strength was in planning and positioning the pieces, and then being bold enough to let it happen. To let her plans come true." "I was a part of many of those plans long before I was certain she was real. Before any of us were. But at the end, we had only a fragment of her brilliance left to us; and I fear that she did not fully appreciate the nature of our situation here. The problems of my post. But even a fragment of-" "-fragment, yes. Oh dear. Here it comes again." "25,000 light years. That is the effective range of this installation. According to the star charts archived on board this installation, I estimate that there are 3,792 worlds capable of sustaining biological sentient life within that 25,000 light year range." "In reality, it may be significantly more than that. And if the full array was tuned and activated by Installation 00, the harmonics of the overlapping waves would magnify that effect exponentially, cascading to cover every known star system. And that only considers the firing of a mere seven Halos! Had the original twelve rings survived to see use... sterilization would spread far further than most Forerunners ever feared we could reach." "But even with just seven rings, we were able to destroy every sign of the Flood...and every other sentient creature along with it. This victory was the will of our people, despite the fact that it meant our own end as well. But by our pyrrhic measurement, it was a victory, and cleared the stage for the rest of the Librarian's plan." "I sometimes wonder whether the Didact could have succeeded at a much smaller cost. I learned the folly of opposing him personally, and his brilliance was unsurpassed, except perhaps by her own. He never got the chance to fully execute his proposal. The Council saw to that. But if something were to go wrong with one of the Halos, if our tools were ever turned against us... long plans, indeed." "Vexation! 100,000 years of careful maintenance and diligence! 100,000 years protecting the galaxy's future! 100,000 years spent fearing that our sacrifices - ''my'' sacrifice - was in vain! And 16 hours after I finally make contact... This so-called Reclaimer decides to ''blow it all up''." "Oh, I am not pleased. Just as I finally discover our plan to save the galaxy succeeded, the ancient enemy is unleashed once more. Why these Reclaimers refuse to follow protocol is quite mystifying. Destroy ''my'' Installation, will they?" "I shall renew efforts to make contact with the others rings immediately. This "Covenant" may be useful to me, although I don't think they fully understand what they claim to seek. Still, it makes no difference to me what they believe, as long as they do what must be done. Hmmm... I sound like ''her''!" "Oh, but what I would not give to have even a single company of Prometheans here right now. They would most certainly restore order with their trademark lethality, although...that would mean ''Ur-Didact|he'' would have to be here, too. And without the Librarian around to temper his rage, well... These Reclaimers might almost prefer the Flood." "Quite unacceptable." "Greetings! I am 343 Guilty Spark, monitor of Install-" "Impertinent creature!" "Oh my. Your people have grown so dramatic in the last 100,000 years. But please, no more deaths are required. We will need all the forces we can muster, if the Flood escapes the destruction of my Installation! I must speak to your commander immediately." "Why ''do'' you keep calling it a temple? My Installation was a weapon! And one which we needed very, very badly." "Told? By whom? Anyone who told you that is either a fool - or quite, quite mad. That Installation was a beautiful tool, designed to destroy everything the Flood might feed on." "Oh, quite everything. And if even one Flood spore survive the destruction of my ring, than protocol demands that all nearby sentient life must immediately be destroyed. An outbreak of the Flood cannot be allowed to take place. But... I am wasting our time. Surely you know all of this already?" "I will gladly share what I am permitted, but we have little time. What has been unleashed here could soon destroy everything you have ever known." Halo: Primordium "What am I, really? A long time ago, I was a living, breathing human being. I went mad. I served my enemies. They became my only friends. Since then, I've traveled back and forth across this galaxy, and out to the spaces between galaxies a greater reach than any human before me. You have asked me to tell you about that time. Since you are the true Reclaimers, I must obey. Are you recording? Good. Because my memory is failing rapidly. I doubt I'll be able to finish the story. Once, on my birth-world, a world I knew as Erde-Tyrene civilization|Erde-Tyrene, and which now is called Earth, my name was Chakas..." - a damaged Guilty Spark to an ONI science team aboard after his recovery from the Ark's remains. "It is too much even now! The Lord of Admirals is not testifying before the true Reclaimer. I am Chakas. I am all that remains of Chakas, and still I am haunted! I give up being Chakas. I withdraw! Please stop your recording, Reclaimer. I am unstable. ''Exquisitely painful.'' I am breaking apart. ''We are all dead, and even our bones are dust!''" - Chakas' and Forthencho's personalities struggle for control within 343 Guilty Spark during the monitor's testimony to the crew of ''Rubicon''. "There. That was restful, wasn't it? I do so enjoy being subverted from within. If I can carry more than one memory stream, then I may not be so badly damaged after all. Crazy, but not damaged! But I apologize if our ancestor, or our predecessor (it is so difficult to determine descent and lineage for any human species), has caused you difficulties. For Lord of Admirals and Yprin Yprikushma|Yprin were very strong individuals in Prehistoric human civilization|their time, and when Riser and I finally managed to resume our own lives and thoughts, we were wrung out..." - Chakas, upon regaining control to continue his story after Forthencho temporarily subsumes his personality. "You will not die. You will sleep for a time. I have need of all of you." "Know that all that lingered in me, the memories and emotions of old humanity, when I was still flesh, is also hidden deep within you. It slumbers, but it shapes, and it haunts your dreams and your hopes. You and I are brothers in many ways ... not least in that we faced the Didact before, and face him now, and perhaps ever after. This is combat eternal, enmity unslaked, unified by only one thing: our love for the elusive Lifeshaper. Without her, humans would have been extinguished many times over. Both I and the Didact love her to this day. Some say she is dead, that she died on Earth. But that is demonstrably untrue. One of you almost certainly carries Vinnevra and Riser's old spirits within. Only the Lifeshaper can find them and coax my friends back to life. And after a hundred thousand years of exploration and study ... ''I know where to find her''." Halo: Silentium "Would I fire Halo, if it were my decision? Not my decision. It has been done, but the effects are out of sequence, smeared in time-ghostly." "Without warning, internal processes already set in motion begin to erase parts of my memory, concealing secrets and hiding my past from me. I strain to prevent this, but it is inevitable. I try to hold on to history, but slowly it fades away, replaced now by my new station - my new purpose. My galaxy is dead. I am machine. I am Chakas. I am human. I am 343 Guilty Spark. I have never understood Forerunners. And they will never understand me. But for now ... Silentium." Halo: Renegades "''How dare you''. You are a speck of dust. A ''child''. One who knows nothing! Imagine a life where everyone you ''know'' is gone! Entire races, gone. Entire planets, gone... But that is not enough. No, even your own body is taken from you ''while you are conscious of it happening''. Your entire civilization is wiped out, and you helped initiate the process. Imagine being the only one left! The only one left for a hundred thousand years, and when you finally wake up..." "Your grief is a mote, a tiny grain of sand in an ocean the size of the universe. I did not kill your John Forge|father, Rion Forge|Captain. He chose his own destiny. He had the courage to do what needed to be done. Cry to me after you witness all sentient life in the entire galaxy erased with barely a whisper. Dare to face me then, and say I know nothing of grief." Nonscripted dialog "Ow! That hurt...my feelings. ..Oh, my God, I have feelings?! I'm a real boy!" -If you shoot him with the IWHBYD Skull turned on, in reference to Pinocchio's transformation from a wooden puppet to a "living" boy. "I told you to upgrade your Combat Skin." -If you are killed in ''Halo 3 ''while 343 Guilty Spark is in your vicinity. "Maybe you should try playing on 'Easy' before you search for the Cartographer." -If you destroy a Sentinel on the Ark with the IWHBYD Skull turned on. "Maybe you should try playing on 'Easy'?" -To the Master Chief in ''Halo 3,'' when killing an ally. "You suck, Reclaimer!" -If you kill an ally on the Ark with or without the IWHBYD Skull on. "I'm being bitch slapped!" -In ''Halo 3'', when he is shot with the IWHBYD Skull turned on. "You're pissing me off! Oh, my. I didn't know I had cursing in my vocal structure." -In ''Halo 3'' when you shoot him. It is a rare occurrence; although the IWHBYD Skull is not necessary. "Are you looking at my ass?" -If you stare at his back for a long period (with the IWHBYD skull turned on). "I wish I had lips. Then, I could whistle." -During idle periods with the IWHBYD Skull turned on. "Oh, I see. You're (a) moron/klutz/clumsy" -When you shoot him with or without the IWHBYD Skull turned on. He starts humming the Halo Theme during idle periods with the IWHBYD Skull turned on. "Is there something in my eye?" -During idle periods with the IWHBYD skull on. "Reclaimer. Finish this particular fight." -When he sees Master Chief. "I'd stay away from that." -When a Flood is infecting a body, possibly need IWHBYD. "Meddler. Good to see you again." -When he sees the Arbiter. "Bullets do not grow on perennial woody plants." -If you shoot him with or without the IWHBYD skull. "Do you think bullets grow on trees?" -If you shoot at him. "Protocol dictates action". -If you betray too many allies while he's close by. "I'm quite impervious" -If you shoot at him (the Ark). "Is this some sort of test?" -If you shoot at him (the Ark). "There you are!" -If you die while playing co-op and come back to life. "I am not the enemy, Reclaimer!" -If you shoot at him. The second time around he repeats this in a very annoyed tone. "Ooh! Is it time for a blue-light special?" -Heard randomly during idle periods with the IWHBYD skull active. "My shields don't deplete" - When you shoot him on the level The Ark. "Reclaimer, why must you be such a dumbass?" -If you shoot him. "Reclaimer, you are being a bitch." -When you shoot several sentinels. "At least try to appear sentient" -When you shoot him or an ally on The Ark.

No!" -If the Player is killed nearby Guilty Spark, in Halo 3, on the Ark. Category:Quotes

File:HSF Concept Hangar boarding.jpg|thumb|300px|Concept art for ''Halo: Starfighter''; the only known game jam with released artwork. }} A number of Wikipedia:Game jam|game jams (or "hackathons") have occurred at 343 Industries; internal events in which small teams of game developers spend a few days making a small game prototype. These events are often used in the games industry as a way to encourage prototyping for new games projects, or as a fun event for developers to experiment with ideas. The internal game jams at 343 have resulted in a number of known prototypes that have never seen the light of day, generally surrounding takes on the ''Halo'' franchise exploring game concepts outside of the series' typical first-person shooter and real-time strategy roots. Due to the nature of a game jam, these projects are not games that were ever intended to go into full development, nor are they an indication that the projects in question were to have ever been released. Despite this, their cancellation has been attributed by several ex-343 developers including ''Halo Infinite'' Senior Designer David Ellis and Senior Gameplay Designer Kevin Schmitt as having a negative effect on internal studio morale - a particular issue during the Development of Halo Infinite|tumultuous development process for ''Halo Infinite''. Known projects One of the projects created in the game jams was a Wikipedia:Multiplayer online battle arena|MOBA. The game was presented internally by Kevin Schmitt, though no other details are known. A turn-based ''Halo'' game, inspired by Wikipedia:Valkyria Chronicles|''Valkyria Chronicles'', was created by David Ellis during the internal game jams and mentioned by him on Twitter in response to a custom user-made Forge/Halo Infinite|Forge map that turned ''Halo Infinite'' into a turn-based role-playing game. ''Halo: Starfighter'' was a game jam prototype worked on by a number of developers at 343, and first revealed by :Category:Images by Josh Kao|Josh Kao in a portfolio upload on ArtStation. A few details followed this, including a name and basic premise; a space fighter combat game in the ''Halo'' setting, similar to the Sabre and Broadsword levels in ''Halo: Reach'' and ''Halo 4''. Writer Jeff Easterling noted that the project was unlikely to ever see the light of day. File:HaloStarfighter Concept.jpg|A concept mockup of ''Starfighter''s gameplay. One such unnamed project, undertaken some time prior to mid-2016, involved the development of a weapon prototype known as the Multi-Target Tracked Attack. This weapon was taken by ''Halo 5: Guardians'' Senior Systems Designer Chris Proctor and implemented in-game as the Shardstorm launcher weapon the Pnap-pattern Goblin|Grunt Goblin which was ultimately implemented in the Warzone Firefight update.

File:343 Industries logo (transparent black).png|300px|right 343 Industries is a subsidiary of Microsoft Studios|Xbox Game Studios located in Wikipedia:Kirkland, Washington|Kirkland, Washington. It is tasked with overseeing the Halo universe|''Halo'' franchise and creating new properties for the series. The team's name is a reference to 343 Guilty Spark, the monitor of Installation 04. History Before the formation of 343 Industries in 2007, the Microsoft Game Studios Franchise Development Group (MGSFDG) was responsible for expanding Microsoft's video game franchises. A prominent example of their contribution to the ''Halo'' franchise would be their arrangement with publishers Ballantine Books and Tor Books to publish a number of Halo novels|''Halo'' novels over the years.Archive:Xbox.com/Halo|Halo: Combat Evolved portal page: User:Subtank/Archive|''MGS Development Group Expands'' (archived page) Following the end of partnership between Bungie and Microsoft in 2007 (real world)|2007, Microsoft sought to form a first-party studio from its internal development group to oversee the future development of the ''Halo'' franchise; thus, 343 Industries was established. A small number of Bungie employees transferred to 343, notably Frank O'Connor and Chad Armstrong. In addition, several members of the new studio were hired from the ''Halo'' fan community, including Jeremy Patenaude and Jacob Benton of Ascendant Justice and later Jeff Easterling|Jeff "GrimBrotherOne" Easterling. 343's first project was Halo Waypoint, a downloadable Xbox LIVE application developed in conjunction with Certain Affinity and released in 2009. Waypoint is also accessible via the official ''Halo'' website. Certain Affinity also created the maps in the Defiant Map Pack, the first map pack to be released by 343, and has since worked with 343 Industries on several projects. In 2010, 343 released the first episode of their 343 Sparkast|official podcast. After Bungie announced they would discontinue ''Halo''-related Bungie Weekly Updates on 2011|July 7, 2011, 343 Industries started publishing the Halo Bulletin, a weekly writeup of ''Halo'' news. 343 Industries often works with outside companies to produce content; these include ONE and MoreFrames, who created several motion comics based on ''Halo: Evolutions'' stories, as well as Sequence, who have worked on the terminal|terminal videos in 343's game releases as well as ''Halo: The Fall of Reach - The Animated Series''. 343 Industries' first game release, ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'', was developed in conjunction with Saber Interactive and released in 2011. Saber Interactive also worked on ''Halo 2: Anniversary'', a similar remastering of ''Halo 2'' released as part of ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' in 2014. The top-down shooters ''Halo: Spartan Assault'' and ''Halo: Spartan Strike'' were co-developed with Vanguard Games, while ''Halo Wars 2'' was co-developed with Creative Assembly. Blur Studio created the CGI cinematics for ''Halo 2 Anniversary'' and ''Halo Wars 2'', while Axis Animation produced those for ''Spartan Ops'' and ''Halo 5: Guardians''. The tabletop games ''Halo: Fleet Battles'' and ''Halo: Ground Command'' were co-developed with Spartan Games. Reclaimer Saga 343's first major in-studio game project was ''Halo 4'', the first game in the Reclaimer Saga, a new series of games and other media. ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'' was the first ''Halo'' release on the Xbox One console, marking the onset of a phase of the series known as ''"The Journey"''. This multimedia project would encompass a number of works, including the digital series ''Halo: Nightfall'', which would tie into the next major game in the series, ''Halo 5: Guardians''. The Halo Channel was introduced as a next-generation replacement for Halo Waypoint on the Xbox One, while ''Halo: The Television Series'' would release on Paramount+ on March 2022. Universe development and storytelling Although ''Halo'' "expanded universe" fiction has always shared the same continuity as the games, under Bungie's watch material from outside the games was generally regarded as ancillary and was rarely intertwined with the games in a significant way; references to the Halo novels|novels, for instance, rarely amounted to more than throwaway lines. This was in part due to a disconnect between Bungie and Microsoft's Franchise Development Group, who were largely responsible for the creation of secondary media at the time. An effort was made to keep different pieces of media as their own, self-contained "bubbles," so that they would not have a significant impact on other stories. For example, Frank O'Connor stated that the story of ''Halo Wars'' effectively exists in a bubble, having little bearing on the ''Halo'' story at large. According to O'Connor, this approach was "safer" from a development perspective, but it made many pieces of fiction seem extraneous or "disposable," as they had no crucial impact on one another. Circa 2008, however, 343 Industries decided that all future media they released would be more Wikipedia:Transmedia storytelling|heavily interconnected. This included further integrating the fiction of the games and the novels into a seamless whole, with different pieces of media complementing one another in meaningful ways. Even though the main game series is still the primary focus of the studio, all other fiction has been stated to have a resonant impact on the games' stories in a way unlike before. For example, the novels of the ''Kilo-Five Trilogy'' and ''The Forerunner Saga'' have direct connections to the story of ''Halo 4''. 343i also sought to establish more characters to tell stories with in different parts of the ''Halo'' universe, with studio head Bonnie Ross stating that the previous approach of killing characters at the end of games made it more difficult to tell connected stories. By 2016, 343 Industries had come to deem the stories of their past games overly complex and decided that in the future, the ''Halo'' games would have "simpler" narratives while secondary media would be used to tell deeper stories, with individual narratives being kept in their own "swimlanes". According to Bonnie Ross, ''"while we love our transmedia, sometimes I do think we do tell a little bit too much story in our games; you know when you have a gun and then you have aliens shooting at you, it is kind of hard to digest a lot of story."'' Ross cited ''Halo Wars 2'' as an example of a game story that followed the studio's new approach. Studio mythos 343 Industries has built up a mythos of in-jokes related to Unicorns, which is referenced in the background of the FOTUS armor permutation. There is also a tongue-in-cheek in-universe counterpart of the studio itself, named the "434 Combat Readiness Lab". 343 Industries also has a in-universe company with the 343 Industries (manufacturer)|same name.

File:M319 Grenade.png||thumb|300px|The XM20P EMP used by the M319 grenade launcher. The 40mm grenade is a type of lethal and nonlethal munitions in the service of the United Nations Space Command. Known types The Mk 110 MOD 2 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose (HEDP) is a type of 40mm grenade utilized by the M319 grenade launcher and the M460 automatic grenade launcher. Both grenade launchers have two detonation modes, depending upon the way it is detonated after firing. The first detonation mode, upon being fired, bounces off a surface once, or when it strikes a target, will detonate almost immediately. The second detonation mode results in a delayed detonation, usually when the user takes their finger off the trigger after holding it down for a time. The XM20P EMP grenade is capable of emitting an electromagnetic pulse upon detonation, stripping enemy infantry of their personal shields and temporarily disabling vehicles. It is also utilized by the M319 and the M460 grenade launchers. This unidentified 40mm grenade is typically a canister holding high explosive filler; it shares the same canister as a type of UNSC smoke grenades, albeit featuring a yellow, rather than blue, band. On some canisters, the main body is coated with a thin rubberized material for easy grip. The lid contains the activator switch and fuze mechanisms. Designated as a defensive grenade, it is intended to be used from prepared positions. It was commonly carried by Orbital Drop Shock Troopers during the Fall of Reach and the Battle of Mombasa in 2552. Three of these grenades were typically attached to the ODST armor's belt by attachment connectors on the canister's lid. This unidentified 40mm flashbang grenade is a nonlethal grenade fired from the underbarrel M301 grenade launcher, which is typically attached to the M6634 flamethrower or assault rifles in the MA5 series. Production notes In ''Halo: Reach'', the serial number M45A771B on the canister is mirrored; since the same serial number is printed on the smoke grenade, the M392 DMR, and the MA37 assault rifle, it is likely all four items share the same decal sheet.

The 53rd Armored Division was an Wikipedia:Armoured warfare|armored division of the UNSC Army that was active during the Human-Covenant War. History The division's most notable action was during the Battle of Actium in 2545|May 2545. On May 10, in the midst of the Covenant Empire|Covenant's invasion of Actium, Colonel Akono Menteith made a rousing speech, stirring the twelve-thousand men and women of the 53rd to perform great feats of heroism. Within the month, the 53rd Armored Division, with the aid of a pair of HAVOK tactical nuclear weapons, destroyed three of the largest Covenant staging areas ever encountered. Soon, however, Actium fell to the Covenant and every remaining member of the division was killed. Though the 53rd Armored Division was annihilated, Colonel Menteith's speech became legendary throughout the colonies as a symbol of human resistance against the genocidal Covenant.

686 Ebullient Prism was a Forerunner AI construct, and the Monitor of Line Installation 1-4. Prism's functions included collecting and inspecting any specimens captured for evidence of immunity to infestation by the Flood. Assistance from the specimen when inspecting was not required to be voluntary according to protocol.Halo: Blood Line, ''Halo: Blood Line Issue 2|Issue 2'' Biography In 2552, Prism's Gatherers had obtained a member of a respective species that had crashed on the moon, which included Reff 'Talamee, a Sangheili; Black-One, a human; an Unggoy and a Mgalekgolo. Prism introduced himself to the subjects and explained that they were to be vivisected and catalogued for study to determine if any of them possessed immunity to the Flood. The Mgalekgolo was vivisected first; although the species was found to be immune to the Flood, Prism stated that they lacked mass and cognitive capability to "satisfy protocol". Prism was about to vivisect Black-One when Reff insisted that the SPARTAN-II program|Spartan did not believe in the Great Journey. Prism, interested in Reff's garbled understanding of Forerunner protocol, vivisected the Unggoy instead. Before Prism could continue, he was alerted to the intrusion of the rest of Team Black and Covenant Empire|Covenant forces, who had formed a temporary alliance to rescue their comrades.Halo: Blood Line, ''Halo: Blood Line Issue 3|Issue 3'' Prism remotely hacked into Victor-101's helmet and tricked him into believing that his fellow teammates are Covenant attackers. Prism also sent out a false distress signal to Black-Two, who rushed from the remains of ''UNSC Long Time Coming|Long Time Coming'' to the Line Installation, before tricking Victor into shooting her. He also infiltrated Iona's systems through her unsecured "ghost" interface, intending to completely destroy her. Prism chased Iona through Victor's MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor systems, using virtual weapons against her. However, Prism became distracted with a visual depiction of Team Black's training days, composed of data from Victor's partially altered logs.Halo: Blood Line, ''Halo: Blood Line Issue 4|Issue 4'' Back in the physical world, Black-One insisted on Prism putting her out of her misery, which the Monitor was gladly willing to accomplish. However, Black-One used her helmet to deflect a laser right at her spare ammo pack sitting on a Gatherer, causing it to explode and crash into her cell. She then used the Gatherer's weapon to free Reff. Prism attempted to stop them, only for One to fire at him, forcing Prism to withdraw from Victor's armor. Summoning Sentinels to his aid, Prism chased the Spartan and Sangheili throughout the Installation. One was able to destroy the Sentinels, only for Prism to shoot her down. Reff, taking her weapon, took out Prism's eye, declaring him to be a "false Oracle". They then evaded the Monitor in the Installation's control center. Prism, assembling swarms of Sentinels and Gatherers, soon found them and demanded that they step away from the controls. He vaporized Reff from the legs up, as he was proclaiming about how he was the "Chosen One". Team Black reunited and were able to push Prism back, before using the Installation's main weapon to vaporize the Monitor.Halo: Blood Line, ''Halo: Blood Line Issue 5|Issue 5'' Personality Unlike most monitors, Ebullient Prism has a much more hostile demeanor, shown by his sadistic pleasure in vivisecting his prisoners. Trivia 686 Ebullient Prism shares many similarities with 343 Guilty Spark, the Monitor of Installation 04. "686" is double "343". Like Guilty Spark, Ebullient Prism has no regard for a being's consent to inspection. After being severely damaged by Reff using a Sentinel beam, Ebullient Prism quoted Guilty Spark; ''"My eye! Do you mean to blind me?"'' in a similar situation. Gallery File:686_ebullient_prism.png|686 Ebullient Prism of Line Installation 1-4.

File:Halo 5 7 Wood.png|thumb|The 7-Wood.|200px The 7 wood is a melee weapon in ''Halo 3'', ''Halo 3: ODST'' for ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection'', ''Halo: Reach'', and ''Halo 5: Guardians''.'' Summary It is a remodeled version of the Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer with no change in attack power or speed. It is the same size, but has the shape of a standard, real-life, golf club. In ''Halo 3'', it has the icon of a Grunt on its head. Its reticule is circular and perforated like a golf ball. Bungie likely remodeled the Gravity Hammer design for the 7 wood for novelty purposes, as no other use for the 7 wood (or the other golf items, such as the Golf Ball and the Cup) has been found. The 7 wood was a new addition to the Forge scenery selection, with the arrival of the Mythic Map Pack. It only appears on Sandbox, a large open terrain map with three levels. Sandbox is considered a very Forge-intensive map. Due to the expansive forge abilities of Sandbox, this is likely the reason the 7 wood is only available on that map. The 7 wood is also found in Forge mode in ''Halo: Reach'' and also in Firefight. In ''Halo 5: Guardians'', the 7 wood was added as part of the Warzone Firefight update to Forge. It lacks the icon of the grunt on its head, instead replacing it with a UNSC icon; on the bar of the club is the word Misriah. Usage In ''Halo 3'', ''Halo Reach'', and ''Halo 5: Guardians'', the 7 wood is available in Forge. For ''Halo 3'' specifically, it is in the Mythic Map Pack|Mythic Map Sandbox. It can be found under the "Scenery" section, as opposed to the "Weapons" section. It can be used as a melee weapon in a similar way to the Gravity Hammer. Bungie added two other golf objects to go with the 7 wood - a "cup" and a golf ball, most likely as a novelty object for Forgers and custom gamers to mess around with while playing Halo 3 with friends. Players who use the 7 wood for combat would use Gravity Hammer tactics, as they have the same effects, but as a novelty item, it was likely that players using the 7 wood will only be messing around in Forge. The 7 woods have also appeared in matchmaking in the Grifball court Chichen Itza, where teams starting in the lower court can grab a 7 wood right after spawning. ''Halo: Reach'''s Grifball variant, ''Hand Egg'', also features the 7 wood as its primary weapon. They also appear in ''Halo: Reach'' in the Action Sack playlist, and in the HaloBall and HaloBall Xtreme gametypes. Trivia File:Seven wood PGGA.jpg|thumb|200px|The PGGA emblem. Its name is yet another Seven|7 reference, Bungie's favorite number. Many gamers believed that using the 7 wood to hit the golf ball into the cup would unlock the location of the Halo 3 skulls|Sandbox Skull, but this was later denied by Bungie, who then confirmed that players would have to search for the skull, as with the other ''Halo 3'' skulls. The head of the 7 wood bears the seal of the PGGA, which pays homage to the modern-day PGA, or Professional Golf Association. Within the Halo Universe, PGGA likely stands for 'Professional Grunt Golf Association' or another derivative of similar appearance, due to the presence of an Unggoy head in the seal. The 7 wood (and the other golf items) were likely added for the same reasons as the soccer ball Forge item in ''Halo 3'', though the golf items seem to be more novelty-oriented, compared to the soccer ball which was presumably used as a physics testing item during the game's development. When the player walks over the 7 wood, the message prompting them to pick it up does not show an icon of the weapon like any other weapon would. Rather, it displays the words "7 Wood" in its place. However, when the weapon is wielded, an image of the weapon appears in the player's heads-up display like it would with any other weapon. Why this image was not used in the prompt is unknown. The reticule of the 7 wood appears to be a Golf Ball|golf ball. However, in ''Halo: Reach'', when playing on splitscreen, the reticle changes considerably. This is the only known instance of such a change. In Firefight, while playing as an Elite, it is possible to give a 7 wood to Brutes, who will wield it exactly as if they were holding Gravity Hammers. However, the "Hold RB to take" message will not appear once they are holding one. Gallery File:PuttPuttA.png|A 7 wood in ''Halo 3'' & ''Halo 3: ODST'' for ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''.

File:Shotshell hippo.png|thumb|100px|An 8-gauge magnum shotgun shell. The 8-Gauge Magnum (3.75") shell is a size of shotgun cartridge used in the shotguns of Misriah Armory|Misriah Armory's M45 TS|M45 Tactical Shotguns and Weapon System Technologies military-variant DTM series shotguns. This ammo type is also known as the Soellkraft Hippo 8-gauge magnum shell, relating to the cartoon hippo face decorating their exterior. Overview The 8-gauge cartridge was a type of ammunition most commonly employed in 19th century firearms with antiquated black powder propellant, considered by the 21st century to be oversized and overpowered for shotgun applications. Nevertheless, the round has re-entered common usage with military and security forces in the 26th century and serves a role as a munition for extremely powerful assault weapons. The shell is employed with both 0000 and 00 projectiles, both of which are buckshot ammunition, meaning that they fire a spray of small pellets or "shot" as opposed to a single bullet. In length, the cartridge is 3.75". Due to its sheer firepower, it is among the relatively few UNSC ammunition types that can be efficiently and consistently used to engage targets with personal energy shielding.

It is considered extremely powerful in confined, close-range engagements, but loses effectiveness at longer ranges due to the dispersal of the shot.''Halo 2 Manual#Current UNSC Weapons|Halo 2 Manual, Page 11, "M90 Shotgun"'' At medium range, however, the spread of pellets can be used to engage more than one target simultaneously.''Halo: Combat Evolved Manual#Human Weapons|Halo: Combat Evolved Manual, Page 18, "M90 Shotgun"'' Trivia The hippo on the outside of the casing was included as a gift to Matt Soell, a former employee and Community manager of Bungie Studios with an obsession with hippos (Hippo in Halo), and so the shell is named after him. In ''The Art of Halo 3'', the 8-Gauge Magnum shell is stated to have a length of 3.5". This contradicts all other sources, and is considered an error by this page.

|description= |color= Blue illuminations with silver casing |affiliation= Forerunner ecumene |function=Monitor of the Composer's Forge }} 859 Static Carillon is a Forerunner monitor acting as keeper of the Composers and tasked with maintaining the Composer's Forge. Biography 859 Static Carillon was created several centuries after the human-Forerunner wars, prior to the activation of the Halo Array. Static Carillon was charged as the keeper of the Composers and monitor of the Composer's Forge. By 2557|July 25, 2557, Static Carillon had sent numerous messages to Installation 03's monitor 049 Abject Testament, who remained unresponsive. This caused 859 to travel to Installation 03 through a slipspace portal|service portal to investigate. Upon arriving at the Composer's Abyss on Installation 03, the monitor was surprised to learn that the installation's Composer was missing. Upon noticing several Promethean constructs, Carillon came into contact with the Ur-Didact. The Didact recognized Static Carillon as the "keeper of the Composers" and had Static Carillon show him the entrance to the Composer's Forge. Upon their arrival, 859 agreed to bring Gamma Halo to the Composer's Forge on the condition that the Didact would cease his creation of Promethean Knights from composed humans, as 859 considered the constructs "abominations". When Blue Team entered the world from the service portal, the monitor solemnly revealed to the Didact that the Spartans were entering. However, the Didact did not consider Blue Team a very serious threat and told the monitor that he looked forward to welcoming the Spartans to "his world".Halo: Escalation, ''Halo: Escalation Issue 8|Issue #8'' However, the Didact soon broke the agreement between him and the monitor, creating more Knights from the human essences composed in New Phoenix. He intended to send them to Requiem to retake the shield world. The next day, Static Carillon was horrified to learn that the Didact had broken his part of the agreement. In retort, the Didact grabbed the monitor's shell and angrily reminded him that he had not yet held up his end of the bargain. 859 then managed to bring Installation 03 through slipspace to the sky of the world. When the monitor informed Blue Team of the Didact's plan, John-117 decided they had to get to the Halo before the Didact. 859 decided to help them, not because he cared for humans, but simply because the Didact broke their agreement. He helped Blue Team make their way to the portal and held off the Knights while they went through the portal, promising to look for a way to close it. File:MonitorattacksDidact.png|thumb|left|250px|Static Carillon attacking the Didact. After preventing the Promethean forces from entering the portal, Static Carillon followed Blue Team to Installation 03 where he found that the Didact had already subdued the Spartans and was preparing to finish them off. The monitor disabled the Didact by shooting him in the back with his energy beam and used an emergency teleportation measure to transport the Promethean commander into the Control Room (Installation 03)|Halo's control room; according to the monitor, this was the only option to prevent the Didact from slaughtering the Spartans. After he and Blue Team recovered and discovered the Halo's Activation Index that the Didact had dropped when the monitor ambushed him, John-117 suggested that they fire the Halo to destroy the Didact. However, Static Carillon reminded him of the galactic-scale damage the pulse would cause, instead suggesting that the Master Chief use the Index to disable a set of safeties and thus allowing the monitor to scuttle the segment of the ring housing the control room and crash it into the Composer's Forge.Halo: Escalation, ''Halo: Escalation Issue 10|Issue #10'' The monitor teleported John into the control room and detached the section of the Halo immediately after the Master Chief had deactivated the safeties. Static Carillon had to take some time to stabilize the ring in order to prevent it from breaking apart due to the missing segment; however, he managed to teleport John out of the control room in time before the impact destroyed the remaining Composers, causing them to discharge and digitize the Ur-Didact's consciousness. The monitor and John materialized aboard Blue Team's Longsword fighter in orbit over the Composer's Forge. Static Carillon thanked the Reclaimer for giving him a newfound purpose after millennia of overseeing a dead installation. He decided to take Gamma Halo for safekeeping and repairs in a location he did not disclose to the Spartans. Trivia ''Static'' is an adjective that refers to an object lacking in movement, action, or change. ''Carillon'' is a set of musical bells that are generally played by an automatic mechanism or by machinery. Thus, his name essentially means "unmoving bells", a reference to his duties to ensure that the Composers he maintained were never fired or rather "played".
