Around the year [[97,227 BCE]], the Flood on Installation 05 escaped and evaded containment due to negligence on the part of the installation's [[monitor]], [[2401 Penitent Tangent]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', multiplayer level ''[[Cold Storage]]''</ref><ref name="containmentfail">'''[[Containment failure report]]'''</ref> It is believed that the Flood's escape was either the result of a system malfunction that was not properly addressed by Penitent Tangent or due to the meddling of visiting species.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} The Flood quickly grew out of control around the area of the installation's [[Library]];{{Ref/Reuse|containmentfail}} the Flood were kept contained by a [[Sentinel wall]] built around the Library.

Even with the addition of Forerunner [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s and [[Enforcers]], the Flood were able to remain loose, albeit contained within the [[Quarantine Zone]] by the Sentinel wall.{{Ref/Reuse|zone}} This stalemate is believed to be the cause of the slow decline into the deteriorated condition of the structures of the installation. The Gravemind itself resided in the chamber directly below the [[index chamber]] in the center of the Library.{{Ref/Reuse|h2grave}} The use of the Quarantine Zone was not a standard [[containment protocol]], but the lack of a monitor forced Installation 05's Sentinels and other [[ancilla]] to employ unique countermeasures.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}}
