Editing Flood containment facility

{{Ratings}}
{{Era|H1|TF|H2}}

On [[Alpha Halo]] there was a '''Flood Containment Facility''' that was used by the [[Forerunner]]s to contain the [[Flood]] while studying them. It is also very likely that there were similar Flood containment facilities on the other Halo rings, as they were observed on [[Installation 05]] when the Marine  Forces and [[Covenant]] Forces clashed there to retrieve the [[Index]].

==Discovery==

During the events of [[Halo: Combat Evolved]], [[UNSC]] forces, led by [[Captain Jacob Keyes]], attempted to take a [[Forerunner]] facility hidden in a swamp. A Covenant [[Elite]] named [['Qualomee]] told them that it was a weapons cache, lying. The facility turned out to be a Flood Containment Facility. The Covenant had released the Flood and then, realizing their mistake, had attempted - unsuccessfully - to recontain them. The area soon was completely overrun by the Flood, as the freed Infected organisms continued to help even more Flood escape and multiply. This area was destroyed along with the rest of [[Installation 04]].

== In Game Combat ==

Alpha Halo's Containment Facility was secured initially by Covenant Forces, who, upon discovering the Flood, were massacred and forced to lock down the facility. In the ensuing melee, (what appears to be) all Elites were either killed or infected, with only a few lances of [[Grunts]] and [[Jackals]] remaining. Later, Captain Keyes, in desperate need of weapons to arm his troops for their potentially long Guerrilla War, went to the facility with [[Sgt. Johnson]] and part of [[Fire Team Charlie]] on the assumption that it was a weapons cache; it was not.  After losing two marines, the first squad with Captain Keyes and Johnson continued until they found a locked door, which they eventually got through. This door was probably the door that the Covenant forces locked in order to contain the Flood outbreak. All team members were either killed and then infected, or directly infected by the Flood. Needless to say, the routine recovery mission was tossed into utter chaos, with both [[human]] and Covenant forces being destroyed by the horrors that had been imprisoned for countless centuries.

By the time the [[Master Chief]] arrived at the location, the initial battle was over, with the remaining Covenant forces scattered and disorganized and the remaining Human forces holed up in the entrances, lashing out at anything that came near. The Flood itself, as if sensing a potentially new victim, quietly withdrew to the hole in which they sprang and prepared to attack their new enemy, leaving only hideous remains of their earlier killing spree.

After the Master Chief made his way through the swamp and into the Facility, he encountered scattered Covenant, grisly remains of a terrible battle, a crazed Marine who was scared out of his mind and a single recording chip that told the whole story.

Inside the facility a small 3-man Marine fire team was found. They were the only other marines to leave the main containment building besides Sgt. Johnson. They were found by the Chief, but they were killed by the Flood before the Chief had time to talk to them.

After fighting back the Flood and making his way back to the surface, the Master Chief regrouped with what remained of Corporal Lovik's [[Second Squad (Halo CE)|Second Squad]] and valiantly led them to the center of the swamp, fighting back Flood by the dozens. As he reached the center, the [[Monitor]] of the Installation, [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]], was patrolling the area with [[Sentinels]], attempting to contain the outbreak of Flood, came across the Chief and his Marines. Identifying him as a Reclaimer, he abducted him, teleporting the Chief away from the swamp into [[The Library]] to retrieve the Index.

==Heretic Uprising==

During the [[Heretic]] Uprising, The [[Arbiter]] came across a [[Flood]] Containment Facility which had been compromised by the [[Heretic]]s. This explained the presence of [[Sentinels]], which had previously been unexplained. The Sentinels at this facility were under the command of 343 Guilty Spark, who had somehow survived the destruction of Installation 04. The Flood at this Facility were presumably killed when the Facility went into free fall.

==Other Appearances==

[[Flood]] Containment Facilities appear in copious locations, namely the [[Threshold]] gas mine. It is also likelly that there is a Flood containment Facility at each ring, as it had been on both [[Installation 04|Alpha Halo]] and [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]], but the one located on Delta Halo have had a large Flood outbreak, spawning the Halo 2 campaign missions [[The Sacred Icon]] and [[Quarantine Zone]] as well as the Halo 2 multiplayer map [[Containment]]. Another map feature contained Flood, but rather being a Containment Facility, it is a part of the land that has been blocked of by a small Sentinel Wall, the [[Halo 3]] map [[Isolation]]

-Flood containment facilities appear in copious locations. It is also likely that there is a Flood containment facility at each ring, as there was one on both [[Installation 04|Alpha Halo]] and [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]]; however, the one located on Delta Halo had a massive Flood outbreak, spawning the ''[[Halo 2]]'' campaign missions ''[[Sacred Icon]]'' and ''[[Quarantine Zone]]'', as well as the ''Halo 2'' multiplayer maps [[Lockout]], [[Backwash]] and [[Containment]].
-The ''[[Halo 3]]'' map [[Isolation]] also features contained Flood, but rather than being inside a containment facility, it is instead inside a part of the land that has been blocked off with a small [[Sentinel Wall]]. The ''Halo 3'' map [[Cold Storage]] is also located in a cryogenic containment facility located on Delta Halo. The ''[[Halo Wars]]'' [[Skirmish]] map [[Release (level)|Release]] is located in an area that has a containment facility being overrun by the Flood, evidenced by the external Flood biomass. This facility can be exploited by the players by releasing the Flood against the opponent's base.
