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 Update]]s in mid-[[2008]] to hint at the upcoming release of the level [[Cold Storage]].<ref name="rep">[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13931 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 5/30/08'']</ref><ref name="finalrep">[http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=14034 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 6/6/08'']</ref> The reports were later posted on [[Halo Waypoint]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/oni-files/cold-storage '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Cold Storage Reports'']</ref>

REPORT: CONTAINMENT FAILURE
;REPORT&#58; CONTAINMENT FAILURE
LF.Xx.3273 research and containment facility; [delta site] has experienced catastrophic specimen containment failure. All apertures into facility will be locked until further notice. Atmosphere evacuation and [reduction of ambient temperature] protocols have already been enacted. Request maintenance and security detail [at earliest opportunity]. [8 minutes] elapsed since initial containment failure.

;REPORT&#58; SECURITY BREACH
LF.Xx.3273 research and containment facility; [delta site] has experienced a security breach via emergency [slip stream space] transportation conduits. Emergency [slip stream space] transportation conduits have been placed in recursive mode to contain unauthorized hostile life forms. Request emergency security detail. Still waiting for primary maintenance and security detail. [2512332 hours, 14 minutes, 6 seconds]elapsed since initial request.

;REPORT&#58; DERELICTION OF DUTY
2401 [PENITENT TANGENT] has been lax in the areas of maintenance and security.


REPORT: DERELICTION OF DUTY
;LOG&#58; QUERIED ADJACENT FACILITIES<ref name="finalrep">[http://www.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=14034 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 6/6/08'']</ref>
2401 [Penitent Tangent] has been lax in the areas of maintenance and security.
LF.Xx.3273 research and containment facility [alpha, beta, gamma, epsilon, zeta, and kappa sites] have all replied [systems normal] within expected constraints. This would tend to signify that the containment failure was purely mechanical in nature; perhaps a manufacturing flaw. As no [outside agent] has accessed [delta site] in the past [874068942 hours, 4 minutes, 46 seconds]—[allowing for a 61360 hour, 54, minute, 2 second margin of error]—sabotage would seem unlikely.

2401 [PENITENT TANGENT], monitor of Installation 05, has been lax in the areas of maintenance and security. Requests for aid in said areas have gone unanswered by both 2401 and [subservient] systems well beyond expected constraints.

==Trivia==
*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 [[Unidentified ancilla (Installation 05)|caretaker ancilla]] of the local [[Flood containment facility]].
