Cold Storage Reports
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Cold Storage Reports are a series of reports filed by an unknown entity on Installation 05 following the outbreak of the Flood parasite. They were posted in two successive Bungie Weekly Updates in mid-2008 to hint at the upcoming release of the level Cold Storage.[1][2] The reports were later posted on Halo Waypoint.[3]
The report[edit]

Trivia[edit]
- The first time stamp "2512332 hours, 14 minutes, 6 seconds" is the equivalent of 290 years, 7 months, 14 minutes, 6 seconds. The second time stamp is equivalent to 99,779 years, 204 days, 6 hours, 4 minutes, 46 seconds.
- In the report, the installation's monitor, 2401 Penitent Tangent, is continuously accused of being lax in maintenance and security, implying that the report was filed by another intelligence within the facility, possibly the caretaker ancilla of the local Flood containment facility.
