In Response To: Bungie Weekley Update: The Smuggler (SonofMacPhisto) Line-by-line assessment: : The Smuggler : REPORT: CONTAINMENT FAILURE : LF.Xx.3273 research and containment facility; We know from the Halo 3 terminals that LF.Xx.3273 refers to the Gravemind, but we don't know in what sense. Does 'research and containment facility' modify the LF.Xx.3273 (ie. is LF.Xx.3273 the ID for the facility) or does the LF.Xx.3273 say what is being researched and contained (the Flood/Gravemind). Either way, I'm assuming that the facility is either Delta Halo or the Library on Delta Halo. In Halo 3's terminals, the LF.Xx.3273 could refer to the Gravemind's location rather than the Gravemind as an entity. : [delta site] has experienced
Delta site could refer to Delta Halo or just to a part of Delta Halo; Halo 2's Quarantine Zone. : All apertures into facility
Clearly refers to the creation of the frozen wastelands that are the Quarantine Zone. : Request

Could refer to IAC leaving the QZ with the Gravemind on board, but the reference to "[slip stream space] transportation conduits" makes me think this is the Gravemind transporting the Chief and the Arbiter to High Charity and the Control Room, respectively. The timeframe here, unfortunately, takes a lot fo credibility away from the theory that LF.Xx.3273 refers to a location rather than the flood/gravemind as an entity. : Emergency [slip stream space] transportation conduits have been placed in
In case anyone is interested, that's exactly 286 years, 290 days, 12 hours, 14 minutes, and 6 seconds. But the question is what is considered a maintenance and security detail? We know that the sentinels (including Enforcers and Constructors) were at the Quarantine Zone by the time the Gravemind left on IAC, so does the 'security and maintenance detail' refer to some other group? : REPORT: DERELICTION OF DUTY : 2401 [PENITENT TANGENT] has been lax in the areas of maintenance and
I should think so, considering he's been a part of the Gravemind for who knows how long (~300 years?).
