The '''Quarantine Zone''' was a perimeter established by the [[Covenant]] upon their landing on [[Installation 05]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Quarantine Zone (Level)|Quarabtine Zone]]''</ref> The Quarantine Zone is directly inside the [[Delta Halo]] [[Library]]'s [[Sentinel Wall]]. The Sentinel Wall, along with the [[Containment Shield]], had kept much of the [[Flood]] from spreading, allowing the [[Sentinel]]s to prevent their spread, but its deactivation by [[Thel 'Vadamee]] during his search for the Activation [[Index]] allowed the Flood to move freely about the ring.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level, ''[[Sacred Icon (level)|Sacred Icon]]''</ref> | The '''Quarantine Zone''' was a perimeter established by the [[Covenant]] upon their landing on [[Installation 05]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level, ''[[Quarantine Zone (Level)|Quarabtine Zone]]''</ref> The Quarantine Zone is directly inside the [[Delta Halo]] [[Library]]'s [[Sentinel Wall]].

The area is guarded and patrolled by various [[Forerunner]] constructs, ranging from the small but necessary [[Constructors]], to the standard [[Sentinels]] and [[Sentinel Majors]], to the titanic [[Enforcers]].

The Covenant found a four way fight, against the Flood, Sentinels, and [[UNSC]] forces, but after the [[Arbiter (title)|Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadamee]] lowered the shield, more and more Flood had begun to spread. The Quarantine Zone is apparently kept starved of all life by the Sentinels. The only signs of past life, besides the Flood, are dead trees and it is constantly snowing. It seems that the Sentinels or some other systems have caused this climate change in order to prevent life from growing and/or existing in this area, therefore denying the Flood of any possible sources of energy. It is unlikely that the change in climate was enacted by [[2401 Penitent Tangent]] as the Monitor had not sent the requested "security detail" after "2512332 hours, 14 minutes, 6 seconds" (or approximately 287 years) since the initial request for one.<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13931</ref> Likewise, the presence of trees at all indicates that it was not always such a cold climate, and is instead a response to the Flood outbreak. | ||

Most of the vehicles here are [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghosts]], [[Warthogs]], a few [[Wraiths]] and a few [[Scorpion Tank]]s, all brought into the area by the Covenant and UNSC during their advances towards the Library. Now that they have access to heavy military vehicles, the Flood have become far more mobile and much more dangerous. | ||
Since the [[Human]] incursion into the area, many of their [[Marines]] have been infected by [[infection forms]], converted into [[Combat Forms|Combat]] and [[Carrier forms]], furthering the Flood life cycle and allowing them to spread quicker. They also allow the Flood access to a more diverse array of weapons, including [[BR55 Battle Rifle|Battle Rifles]], [[M7/Caseless Sub Machine Gun|SMGs]], [[M90 Shotgun|Shotguns]], and more, furthering their capabilities in combat.<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign levels, ''[[Sacred Icon (Level)|Sacred Icon]]'', ''[[Quarantine Zone (Level)|Quarantine Zone]]''</ref> | Since the [[Human]] incursion into the area, many of their [[Marines]] have been infected by [[infection forms]], converted into [[Combat Forms|Combat]] and [[Carrier forms]], furthering the Flood life cycle and allowing them to spread quicker.
