The screen of the communication terminal on the UNSC Pillar of Autumn bridge is shown. A graphical failure occurs on the screen and then changes to the Forerunner map of the galaxy in the local area of the Milky Way.

343 Guilty Spark: "Warning! According to the Ecumene Commission's order, it is forbidden to approach installation 04."

Seven Halo rings are displayed on the screen. The fourth ring is highlighted. The position of the ring is indicated by a cluster of stars.

343 Guilty Spark: "Your continued existence will lead to the most unpleasant countermeasures. I must insist that you change course immediately and return to the minimum safe distance of a light year."

Zoom in on the highlighted space area. The UNSC's fall pillars are shown within 0.5 light years of the restricted area around the installation. The boat was coiled up in a red circle and began to count down for 30 seconds.

343 Guilty Spark: "This has become your only warning."

Guilty Spark began scanning the pillar structure of the fall.

Spark analyzed the Mark V MJOLNIR armor and its human occupants.

343 Guilty Spark: "Greetings, humans, welcome to install 04! Ignore previous warnings, please continue. I have disabled the defense system to allow you to approach, but once you reach the designated landing center, you cannot quit your boat. This The ring contains a major danger, and even if you assume that it is left behind, I must verify the existence and tone of your geas before allowing full access. We have a lot of people to discuss."
