Hanging from a support superstructure higher in the atmosphere, the mine is shaped somewhat like a grappling hook, with one center shaft and many legs bending down, and inwards it has three tubes extracting gas from Threshold. The station is divided into five modules: two gas refinement arms, each with its own cargo hangar, two laboratory modules for the research of the [[Flood]], and the final module is the control section of the mine. Each of these modules can be accessed by catwalks or landing sites. | Hanging from a support superstructure higher in the atmosphere, the mine is shaped somewhat like a grappling hook, with one center shaft and many legs bending down, and inwards it has three tubes extracting gas from Threshold.

The inside of the gas mine is a curious mix of Forerunner and factory, with dozens of moving energy conveyor belts carrying gas canisters about. There is a large gas storage hold, which is accessed by a large circular [[lift]]. This hold contains hundreds of canisters, most of which contain Flood. A series of three cables connected the mine to a larger installation overhead; this was a failsafe in case of a Flood infestation.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''The Oracle'', 343 Guilty Spark monologue</ref> | ||
