The '''Cold Storage Reports''' are a series of reports filed by an unknown entity on [[Installation 05]] following the outbreak of the [[Flood]] parasite. They were posted in two successive [[Bungie Weekly Update]]s in mid-[[2008]] to hint at the upcoming release of the level [[Cold Storage]].<ref name="rep">[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13931 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 5/30/08'']</ref><ref name="finalrep">[http://halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=14034 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 6/6/08'']</ref> The reports were later posted on [[Halo Waypoint]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/oni-files/cold-storage '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Cold Storage Reports'']</ref> | |||

Atmosphere evacuation and [reduction of ambient temperature] protocols have already been enacted. Request maintenance and security detail [at earliest opportunity].

REPORT: SECURITY BREACH | |||
; | LF.Xx.3273 research and containment facility; [delta site] has experienced a security breach via emergency [slip stream space] transportation conduits. Emergency [slip stream space] transportation conduits have been placed in recursive mode to contain unauthorized hostile life forms. Request emergency security detail.

This would tend to signify that the containment failure was purely mechanical in nature; perhaps a manufacturing flaw.
