About 200 years prior to [[2552]], the [[Flood]] on Installation 05 escaped and evaded containment due to negligence on the part of the installation's Monitor, Penitent Tangent. <ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''' '' | About 200 years prior to [[2552]], the [[Flood]] on Installation 05 escaped and evaded containment due to negligence on the part of the installation's Monitor, Penitent Tangent. <ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''' level, ''[[Cold Storage (Level)|Cold Storage]]''</ref> The [[Flood]] quickly grew out of control around the area of the Installation's [[Library]]. The [[Flood]] were kept contained by a [[Sentinel Wall]] built around the Library, but [[2401 Penitent Tangent]] was captured. Without it, the [[Sentinels]] of the Halo lacked a controlling intelligence and so many of the structures around Installation 05 fell into horrible conditions, and most of the Installation came to look like a jungle strewn with ruins. | ||
At the time of the [[Human-Covenant War]], a Gravemind was holding [[2401 Penitent Tangent]] captive. Even with the addition of Forerunner [[Sentinel Majors]] and [[Enforcers]], the [[Flood]] were able to remain loose, albeit contained within the [[Quarantine Zone]] by the Sentinel Wall. This stalemate is believed to be the cause of the slow decline into the horrible 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.

Tartarus, with the unwilling help of his captive, Miranda Keyes, prepared to activate the Installation while the Arbiter rescued Johnson and helped commandeer a Scarab. He escorted the [[Scarab]] to the Control Center in a [[Banshee]], where it destroyed the doors, enabling the Arbiter to slip inside. After the Arbiter battled Tartarus and killed him, Miranda Keyes removed the Index from the chamber, canceling the firing sequence. However, the installation had a fail-safe protocol which activated and sent superluminal signals to the other Halos, putting them on standby mode, ready for remote activation through [[The Ark]].<ref>[http://www.halo3.com http://www.halo3.com] Story section</ref> | Tartarus, with the unwilling help of his captive, Miranda Keyes, prepared to activate the Installation while the Arbiter rescued Johnson and helped commandeer a Scarab.

When Installation 05 was last seen, [[Flood]] were running loose as well as in ''High Charity'' and the surrounding Fleet. The Flood appeared to have been in control of the Installation and ''High Charity'', as the [[Great Schism]] had caused fighting between the remaining Covenant forces on the ring. After the battle died down, what is left of the Sangheili fleet sterilized Delta Halo, most likely by [[glassing]] the surface.<ref>'''[[Halo Encyclopedia]]''', '' | When Installation 05 was last seen, [[Flood]] were running loose as well as in ''High Charity'' and the surrounding Fleet.
