Talk:Threshold gas mine

Experiments?

There are therioes that the gas mine was used (by the Heretics) to do experiments and this is how the flood Juaganaut was created but these are just therioes and may not turn out true.

If it doesn't have sources, I would say that its just a rumor. --ED_(talk)^(shockfront) 15:53, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Origin of the Flood?

Didn't one of the Bungie programmers state that the Forerunner installation on Threshold was the location where the Forerunner first encountered the Flood?

I don't recall that, but if you can find a source that could be added. --ED_(talk)^(shockfront) 15:54, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

As I recall, he was saying that originally, in Halo 1, the player would first fight the flood on a gas mine. Instead, we get the much cooler 343 Guilty Spark level. Specops306, Kora 'Morhek 08:59, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Layout

I imagine in the future, we will want to explain the layout of the mine, its different facets and such. I'm not quite sure how to do so effectively, but it seems like a good idea to make the article more complete. Or if that would stretch it out too much, maybe as a separate article. --Dragonclaws^(talk) 07:39, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Installation Alpha

Are we certain he is referring to I-04 and not I-01? --Dragonclaws^(talk) 08:22, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Installation 04 is frequently referred to as "Alpha Halo", just as Installation 05 is referred to as "Delta Halo", though it is unknown why the Monitor would refer to his own Installation using human nomenclature. Technically, Installation 01 should be "Installation Alpha", or "Alpha Halo", and Installation 04 be "Installation Delta", or "Delta Halo", but that's not how Bungie did it so... —Kougermasters 16:23, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

The Installations have given numbers as designated by the Forerunners and retained by the Monitors. Installation 04 is the fourth of the second generation of Halo Installations, and just happened to be the first encountered upon by the UNSC. Because of this, and despite it's numerical designation, it is "Alpha Halo." I assume Delta was used next because in the phonetic alphabet, its the next Greek Letter (Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta...)Ocean Soul (talk) 14:05, 12 January 2013 (EST)

flood hiding or just sentinels?

at the beggining of the level when u go in and go to the blue canister things kill all enimies and walk around a bit u well see thare is still red spots on your motion tracker even though nones thare though this could be the enemies down the elevator.

The gas mine isn't destroyed.

This quote proves it:

"Fortunately, all the Flood on this installation will perish once this facility enters the planet's nitrogen core."

The gas mine itself isn't destroyed but the flood are dead.This proves that forerunner gas mines can survive the high pressure of gas giants.

No, it is destroyed, it's just that the quote was made before it reached the Core.-- Forerunner 22:55, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Installation 04?

In the sky, of the Gas Mine, I saw something. Could that be a piece of ring from Installation 04? --Mega Sean 45 22:11, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Cable?

Why would the gas mine be suspended by an extremely long cable, given the advanced technology of the forerunners, don't you think that it would be equipped with its own anti-grav generators to keep it hovering in place? I know its not a big deal, I was just curious is all, share your thoughts please. -SuavestImp508 21:39, January 12, 2013 (UTC)

This was explained by 343 Guilty Spark during the boss fight. Flood samples were in the Gas Mine, and cutting the cable was a last-resort in case they escaped, so that they'd all be destroyed upon falling down the planet. Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 17:18, 12 January 2013 (EST)
