| [[File:H2A Lockdown-1.jpg|thumb|300px|The [[Lockdown]] research facility]] | | '''Flood Research Facilities''' are areas on [[The Halos]] intended to study [[Flood]] organisms, likely to procure some viable type of defense against the Flood infection. |
| '''Flood research facilities''' are locations scattered throughout [[milky Way|the galaxy]] where the [[Forerunner]]s attempted to find a cure or a solution to destroy the [[Flood]]. | |

|
| == Background ==
| | Some facilities in one of [[Installation 05]]'s many mountain ranges has been revealed to contain what appears to be some kind of research facility for studying the [[Flood]] organism. There are many machines both large and small yet how to activate or use them is unknown. [[Lockout]] is a known Flood research facility. |
| There are various types and sizes of Flood research facilities. In accordance with the safety protocols of the [[Conservation Measure]], these research centers were almost invariably built in remote locales.<ref>'''Halo 2: Anniversary''', multiplayer map ''[[Lockdown]]'' description</ref> [[Containment Protocol]]s were another integral part of the security in Flood research facilities.

| Many Flood research facilities 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> [[Installation 00]] is known to possess [[Isolation|at least one]] Flood research facility.<ref>'''Halo 3''', multiplayer level, ''[[Isolation]]''</ref> [[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>

| 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>

| 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://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13931 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 5/30/08'']</ref>
