'''Containment shields''' are massive [[Hardlight|hard light barriers]] that can be created by [[Sentinel]] forces to quarantine an area. One was projected from the [[Sentinel Wall]] around [[Installation 05]]'s [[Library]]. One of the many containment measures built by the [[Forerunner]]s, it helped contain and enclose the [[Flood]] inside the [[Quarantine Zone]], and keep out anything that could sustain the Flood. It had to be lowered and deactivated in order to enter the Library and recover the [[Activation Index]].<ref name="h2">'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Sacred Icon]]''</ref> | '''Containment shields''' are massive [[Hardlight|hard light barriers]] that can be created by [[Sentinel]] forces to quarantine an area.

During the [[Battle of Installation 05]], the containment shield kept [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] and [[Covenant]] forces stationed on Delta Halo from reaching the [[Activation Index|Index]]. In order to gain access to the Library and retrieve the Index, the [[Hierarchs]] of the Covenant dispatched [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee to lower the shield. The Arbiter fought his way through the [[Aggressor Sentinel|Sentinel]] defenders to the enormous chamber containing the controls for the barrier. After destroying the Sentinel [[Enforcer]] guarding the chamber, the Arbiter retracted four [[piston]]-like [[plug lock]]s which unlocked the main control panel, allowing him to lower the shield. This caused the entire two-tiered control platform to move to the other side of a large chasm in the middle of the Sentinel Wall in a manner similar to an [[anti-gravity gondola]].<ref name="h2"/> | During the [[Battle of Installation 05]], the containment shield kept [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] and [[Covenant]] forces stationed on Delta Halo from reaching the [[Activation Index|Index]].

Three days after [[Human-Covenant War]] ended, Sentinels set up a containment shield around the ruins of High Charity that survived the detonation of its backup reactors. [[Voridus]], however, destroyed a part of containment shield with a Scarab, leading to a second outbreak on the Ark. This in turn caused Atriox to abandon his plans to destroy the humans on the Ark for the time being in order to stop the Flood threat. | Three days after [[Human-Covenant War]] ended, Sentinels set up a containment shield around the ruins of High Charity that survived the detonation of its backup reactors.
