Containment shield: Difference between revisions

The '''Containment Shield''' was a shield wall around [[Installation 05]]'s [[Library]] made by the Forerunners. It helped contain and enclose the [[Flood]] inside the [[Quarantine Zone]], and keep out anything that could sustain the Flood. It also appears to be a sort of energy field that doesn't allow anything through either way. In Halo 2, it was found guarding the Quarantine Zone, and keeping the [[UNSC]] forces stationed of Delta Halo (as well as the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]]) from reaching [[The Index]]. It had to be lowered and deactivated in order for the [[Arbiter (character)|Arbiter]] to enter the [[Library]] and recover the index. In order the lower the Containment Field, the Arbiter fought his way through the [[Sentinel]] defenders and deactivated the generators for the shield. However, the generator couplings were protected by a Sentinel [[Enforcer]]. After destroying the Enforcer, the Arbiter finally deactivated the shield. This allowed access to the Quarantine Zone by the [[Covenant]] and the [[UNSC]], giving the Flood hundreds of new hosts. The Flood was released onto the rest of [[Installation 05]]. As a result of this the UNSC ''[[UNSC In Amber Clad|In Amber Clad]]'' was taken over by the Flood and flown into the Covenant city of ''[[High Charity]]''. It was observed during the level [[The Sacred Icon (Level)|The Sacred Icon]].
