"Lockup", designated Site Req//0923-4303[1] is the UNSC codename for a location on the Forerunner Shield World of Requiem.
Background
The site designated "Lockup" is believed to have been used as a staging, repair and refit site for mid-size Forerunner ships. Data acquisition also hints that the site may have been involved in the first deployment of Forerunner ships in the Human-Forerunner War, specifically the Didact’s own ship, Mantle's Approach.[2]
History
During the Requiem Campaign, Icebreaker Squad was captured and sent here; after Fireteam Crimson was captured, they were sent here as well. Later, Roland located Crimson and Miller quickly ordered a diversionary bombardment from Dalton. After escaping and killing the guards, Crimson made their way through the facility attempting to find a way to escape. Miller decided Crimson must hijack a Phantom to escape. However, after entering the next area, Roland detected Icebreaker Squad. Crimson engaged the guards, which included Promethean Crawlers. After freeing the Marines, one of them, Lieutenant TJ Murphy, said he could remotely take over a nearby Phantom. Crimson and the other Marines provided cover for him while he did so, holding off several waves of Covenant troops. Eventually, Lieutenant Murphy was able to take over the Phantom, allowing Crimson and Icebreaker Squad to escape.[3]
Crimson later returned here to deactivate a Covenant listening post. After deactivating several jammers, they found the Covenant were using a captured Army Pelican to listen in on UNSC communications. After eliminating the Covenant forces in the area, Dalton ordered a strike to destroy the Pelican.[4] Crimson later returned to Lockup while searching for Dr. Catherine Halsey.
