It can also be assumed that other research facilities are still scattered throughout the galaxy, alone or on the interior of other Halo rings. Unfortunately, the research facilities were unable to find a solution, other than finding that the Flood was susceptible to starvation. Thus, the Forerunners had to fire the Halo Array in order to eradicate the Flood threat. Now, these facilities have either been destroyed, or are uninhabited by sentient life.
