MX-1050 Quantum Plane Translocation Marker - Local/Hybrid

The Translocation Artifact is a device found on Requiem.

History
In 2558 the Storm Covenant began searching for the artifact in a volcanic region of Requiem. Fireteam Crimson arrived discovering what the Covenant and Promethean's and defeated them, acquiring the artifact for the UNSC. Reinforcements arrived but Crimson held them off until Pelican arrived for extraction.

Onboard the UNSC Infinity a orange pulse emitted from it. Commander Sarah Palmer disabled it by kicking it. Dr. Henry Glassman was told to examine it. Glassman accidentally re-activated the artifact teleporting him to a Covenant base. Jul 'Mdama saw it as a gift and decided to spare his life until his usefulness was used up.

Dr. Catherine Halsey was brought onboard to study the artifact and concluded it was interacting with Infinity's engines which were based on Forerunner designs and transmitting to a location on Requiem.
