I am Zeno 'Lanodee and this is my page, and it has my life story a lot of interesting information about Halo, The Ark, The Monitors, and a lot of mysteries and my contemplation. It also has fan fiction and other stuff. I am very interested in Halo and I love to study it. I really wish I had a copy of the Halo Story Bible and I can't wait for the Halo Movie. I want Halo 4!

Personal Information
If you want to know more about me, read here. If you don't really care, skip to Installation Studies.

The Purpose of my Studies
The purposes of my studies are to bring to light the many mysteries of Halo, the Covenant, the Forerunners, and the Flood, and to share my knowledge with the world. You could call me a scholar of sorts.

About Me
"Greetings! I am 343 Guilty Spark! I am the Monitor of Installation 04."

- 343 Guilty Spark

Greetings. I am Zeno 'Lanodee of the Covenant. I used reside in High Charity with my loyal Grunt assistant, Jafaf. I am a well-known Elite and I have many friends and allies. I currently live on Sanghelios.

I was on a ship in the Fleet that chased the human ship Pillar of Autumn from their planet Reach to Installation 04. I was part of a congegrent of troops deployed on Halo to find and kill the human known as the Demon. I narrowly escaped the Flood, and left Halo before it was destroyed by the Demon. I also had a narrow escape from High Charity during the Great Schism. Now, with the Prophets gone, I live on Sanghelios. Here are the names of a few ships that I have served on; Abominable Desecration, Spirit of Vengence, Infinite Truth, Seeker of Justice, Rebellious Affection, Forsaken Justice and, Pillar of Light.

I have always respected humans as formidable foes, and I am glad of the alliance.

The Spartan I respect most is John-117 for his brave actions. My favorite Spartan is Kelly-087 for her courage and determination in the face of impossible odds.

Recent Events
"These are trying times for all of us, however recent events have made it abundantly clear that the Elites can no longer guarantee our safety."

- Prophet of Truth

None of us Elites understand how our war with the Humans first started, but we suspect it had something to do with the Sacred Rings, and that it was of Truth's doing.

In 2552, the human known as the Demon or the Master Chief, had destroyed one of the Halos, Installation 04. A Supreme Commander had been found responsible; he was stripped and he later became the Arbiter. The Arbiter was then sent to destroy a group of Heretics opposed to the Great Journey. He succeeded, and the heresy was crushed.

The Demon destroyed the Unwielding Heirophant and destroyed about 500 Covenant ships shortly after escaping Halo. But that disaster didn't stop Regret from assaulting Earth. His assault failed, because of the Demon. Regret fled Earth, and arrived at Installation 05. Disasterously for him, some humans followed him, and the Demon killed Regret.

Suddenly, the Covenant was torn apart as Truth ordered the Brutes to take the Elites places as their protectors. His excuse was that the Elites failed to save Regret, but Truth could have easily had him saved. Shortly afterward, the Brutes and Prophets turned on the Elites, and the Covenant Civil War began.

Above Installation 05, the Elite and Brute ships turned on each other, destroying and burning. To add to the confusion, the Flood had been released and had begun trying to escape the ring in any space-worthy craft that they could find. They Elites, Brutes, and Flood fought violently until they were destroyed. On High Charity (which had arrived at Delta Halo shortly before Regret was killed) the Brutes and Elites were fighting a deadly war. The Flood had contaminated it, and the remainding Hierarchs were fleeing, with the Demon on their trail. Truth escaped on the Forerunner Dreadnought, but Mercy was killed by the Flood.

On Halo, Tartarus, the Cheiftan of the Brutes was killed by the Demon while trying to activate it. The remaining Human and Elite forces raced to Earth to find the Ark. Meanwhile, the Dreadnought with the Demon miraculously onboard, had arrived at Earth. There, human and Covenant forces were fighting furiously. The Dreadnought landed on Earth, and opened the portal to the Ark.

The Dreadnought, the remainder of the Covenant forces, and the humans went through the portal and to the Ark. On the Ark, Truth was killed by the Arbiter, and the Ark was starting to build another Installation 04, which had been destroyed by the Demon. High Charity, now Flood-controlled, had landed on the Ark and begun to contaminate it. On the new Halo, 343 Guilty Spark, the Moniter of Installation 04, had gone rampant in the face of a threat to it's new Halo, and was destroyed by the Demon. The Halo was fired, and only the Arbiter is known to have escaped. Sergeant Johnson was killed on the ring, and the Demon and his AI are classified by the humans as MIA.

Currently, the Elites are at peace with the Humans.

Installation Studies
Here is some information that I have studied and put together so far about the 7 Halos and the Ark.

The Ark
After the Ark was discovered by the Prophet of Truth in 2553, there was little time to gather information about it, for it was partially destroyed and lost. However, there is some information about Installation 00, and here is some of it. The terrain of the Ark is possibly different in each one of it's "arms." In one arm, it could be hot and dry, a desert. In another arm, there are many forests, oceans, mountains, and snowy climates. The Ark's known functions are to act as a shield from Halos fire, and to control each Halo. The Monitor of the Ark could have possibly been Adjutant Reflex.

Installation 04
"Whoever controls Halo controls the fate of the universe."

- Captain Jacob Keyes

After the Pillar of Autumn crashed on Halo, many research teams were deployed on the ring to explore it document it. So, there is a lot of information about this Halo, though it was destroyed. The known terrain of Alpha Halo is flat; plains, hills, deserts, and flat snowy climates mostly. Very few forests or mountains were recorded. This installation's primary function is to study and contain the Flood and to exterminate all sentient life in the case of Flood outbreak. The Monitor of Installation 04 was 343 Guilty Spark, who was destroyed by the Master Chief.

Installation 05
"Halo! It's divine wind will rush through the stars, propelling all who are worthy on the path to salvation."

- Prophet of Mercy

When Regret fled to this Halo, a lot of information was discovered about it and there is a wealth of information about this now Flood infested Halo. There are a lot of jungles and lakes recorded, also some snowy climates and mountains. This installation's primary functions are the same as the rest of the Halos, including Installation 04. They are to study and contain the Flood and to exterminate all sentient life in the case of Flood outbreak. 2401 Penitent Tangent is the Monitor of Installation 05 and he is currently missing after being caught by the Gravemind, most likely destroyed with him.

Other Installations
There are many other Forerunner installations spread throughout the galaxy as recorded by many people who encountered them. There are minor installations like the Forerunner Gas Mine, and major installations like the Portal to the Ark. The Dreadnought in the center of High Charity was made by the Forerunners and it had it's own AI, Mendicant Bias.

Onyx
Little or no information is known about this Forerunner construct because the people who knew most about it are the long-dead Forerunners or are MIA. What is known is that this Forerunner-made planet was constructed to act as a shield from Halos fire.

Halo Array
There are 7 Halos and they are all different. Installation 01 has a possible moon-like surface, riddled with holes and craters. Installation 02 most likely has an icy cold surface and Installation 03 in contrast has a hot, volcanic surface. Installation 06 seems to be similar to Installation 05, with many forests, lakes and jungles. Installation 07 is one of the more intersting cases. It may have a mountainous terrain with many plains and deserts. However, it has been thought that this could be the result of large-scale Flood infestation. The Monitor of Installation 07 could possibly be 117649 Rampant Guardian. The second Installation 04 is very similar to the original and after Guilty Sparks destruction, shortly before the new Halos firing, the Ark might have started building a replacement before it's destruction.

Monitors
The monitors are little Forerunner AIs that are in charge of the Halos. Only the names of two are known. 343 Guilty Spark, the Monitor of Installation 04, and 2401 Penitent Tangent, the Monitor of Installation 05. Each Monitor has it's own respective number, example: 343 Guilty Spark. The Monitor of the Ark`s number is 0, Installation 01's Monitor number is 1, 02's is 7, 03's is 49, Installation 04's is 343, 05's is 2401, 06's is 16807, and Installation 07's monitor number is 117649.

Possible Monitors
Adjutant Reflex 117649 Rampant Guardian
 * Since no number (ex. 343 or 2401) has been found for Adjutant Reflex, he is possibly the Monitor of Installation 00 (The Ark)
 * Possibly the Monitor of Installation 07

Other Monitors
Cold Storage Monitor
 * A giant blue monitor is inserted in the ceiling of the Halo 3 Multiplayer Map Cold Storage, based on Installation 05. It was thought to be 2401 Penitent Tangent, but those have been proved false. It is most likely a minor monitor in charge of the Flood Containment Facility.

Monitor Color
The only times you see the Monitor of Installation 05, 2401 Penitent Tangent, are in the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Backwash and in the Halo 2 Campaign, during the cutscene preceding the level Gravemind. He is red when you see him, but 343 Guilty Spark, the Monitor of Installation 04, is blue when you first encounter him. As he turns red when rampant, it has been theorized that 2401 Penitent Tangent was also blue, until captured by the Gravemind, when he turned red and became rampant. Since he is red in Backwash, prior to being captured, he might actually have gone rampant when the Flood infestation got really bad. Or he was in Safe Mode. Either way, the evidence concludes that the Monitors are all blue. The Monitor in Cold Storage supports this.

The Flood
"A Reclaimer? Here? At last! We have much to do! This facility must be activated if we are to control this outbreak!"

- 2401 Penitent Tangent

Apparently, the Flood were decimated during the Battle of the Ark. However, evidence has surfaced that the entire surface of Installation 07 is a giant Flood Hive, due to the yellowish-brown color of the surface. It may be false, however. The surface may just be covered in deserts and mountain. However, there were Flood Labs on Installation 04, 05 and the Gas Mine, so it must be presumed that there are also more Flood on the other Halos.

The Fleet of Impending Deliverence
 FAN FICTION  The Fleet of Impending Deliverence was a Fleet of the Covenant that found their to Installation 04 in 2550 while on a journey to find, study, and recover Forerunner artifacts.

History
This is some of the history of the Fleet of Impending Deliverence.

The Discovery
After 6 months of journeying and studying Halo, they came across 343 Guilty Spark, the Monitor of Installation 04. Fleet Master Fera 'Tsanoree talked with the Monitor and found out the truth about Halo. There was no Great Journey. It was all a lie, a misinterpretation. He quickly returned to the base he had established.

The Messengers of the Impending Deliverance
Fera 'Tsanoree decided to keep the fleet of 25 ships on Halo, including his flagship, Reckless Arrogance, because the Prophets would execute him and all of his troops. When 'Tsanoree told them, most of the Elites (including a very bright young Elite called Isya 'Vonaree), Grunts and Hunters immediately joined him. He declared them not part of the Covenant, but the Messengers of the Impending Deliverance, and they set up a very large base on Halo.

The Rebels
Some of the Elites, Grunts, and Hunters, and all of the Jakals and Drones rebelled against the Deliverance, and they stole ships and set up their own base on the ring. The Engineers simply came with the ship. The Rebels were loyal to the Covenant, and didn't believe Guilty Spark. Fera 'Tsanoree and the leader of the Rebels, a Ship Master named Eron 'Serdanee fought numerous wars for months until March 2552.

Hunting Party
In March, 2552, the Messengers fled Halo because they had discovered that there were more Halos throughout the Galaxy. The Rebels left the ring shortly afterward, to hunt down the Messengers and destroy them. The locations of the Messengers and the Rebels are currently unknown.

The Messengers
