Quarantine zone (location): Difference between revisions

The area was guarded and patrolled by various [[Forerunner]] constructs, ranging from the small but necessary [[Constructor]]s, to the standard [[Sentinels]] and [[Sentinel Majors]], to the titanic [[Enforcers]]. The Quarantine Zone was apparently kept starved of all life by the Sentinels, of which more were produced by local [[Sentinel manufacturing facility|manufacturing plants]]. The only signs of past life, besides the Flood, were dead trees and it was 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  approximately 287 years since the initial request for one.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13931 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 5/30/08'']</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.
