The main cable was held in place by three equidistant holds on the top level; supposedly the holds could be released by the main control of the station. The inside of the gas mine was a curious mix of Forerunner aesthetic and factory, with dozens of moving energy conveyor belts carrying gas canisters about. There was a large gas storage hold, which was accessed by a large circular [[lift]]. This hold contained hundreds of canisters, most of which contain Flood. A series of three cables connected the mine to the larger structure overhead; this was a failsafe in case of a Flood infestation.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''The Oracle'', 343 Guilty Spark monologue</ref>
