There are various types and sizes of Flood research facilities. | There are various types and sizes of Flood research facilities. Many were built on the [[Halo Array|Halo installations]], including the [[Library]] structures, the [[Cold Storage]] facility below [[Installation 05]]'s surface, and the [[Lockout]] facility, suspended in a mountainside. One facility was built in a [[Threshold gas mine|gas mine]] in [[Threshold]]'s atmosphere.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level, ''[[The Arbiter]]''</ref> Some facilities have their own [[Monitor]]s and unique types of [[Sentinel]]s, such as [[Line Installation 1-4]], a sprawling underground complex on an [[unidentified moon (Sub-sector 35)|unidentified moon]].<ref>'''Halo: Blood Line''', ''[[Halo: Blood Line Issue 2|Issue 2]]''</ref> Installation 05's Cold Storage facility also had its own type of [[Unidentified ancilla (Installation 05)|caretaker AI]], suspended to a ceiling.<ref>'''Halo 3''', multiplayer level, ''[[Cold Storage]]''</ref> [[Installation 00]] is known to possess [[Isolation|at least one]] Flood research facility.<ref>'''Halo 3''', multiplayer level, ''[[Isolation]]''</ref> [[Containment Protocol]]s were an integral part of the security in Flood research facilities. | ||
[[Installation 07]] was home to numerous Flood research centers. These facilities were originally operated by [[Master Builder]] [[Faber]]'s forces and the [[Lifeworker]]s under their charge, until the [[Primordial]] and [[Mendicant Bias]] took control of operations on the Halo. To the [[Tudejsa|human population]] transplanted on the ring, these facilities were known as [[Palace of Pain|"Palaces of Pain"]] due to the brutal experiments committed within.<ref>'''Halo: Primordium''', ''page 358''</ref> | |||
It can 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. Installation 05 experienced a breach in its Flood research facilities around 97,000 years before the [[Battle of Installation 05]], releasing the Flood in certain areas on the ring.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13931 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 5/30/08'']</ref> | |||
