Well, let's see here.
-Smuggler is the name (codename?) of a map to be released in the next map pack.
-LF.Xx.3273 is the Forerunner designation for the Flood (more specifically, the Flood Supercell)
-"delta site" is almost certainly Delta Halo. It sure looked like there was containment failure to me.
-Atmospheric evacuation and lowering of ambient temperature? So, that's why it's snowing in the QZ...but atmospheric evacuation? Why would that stop the Flood? And how come it doesn't affect the Arbiter?
-Blah, blah, request is repeated a few times...obviously nobody's listening...Forerunners are dead.
-More repeats - this time, though, it's been ~286 years since the initial request. So the QZ battle has been going on for 286 years? Sure ain't a 100,000 years war. But how have the Flood kept fighting that long? Methinks someone unintentionally reinforced them...
-2401 gets blamed for it...well, what the hell was he going to do? He's got a fucking tentacle in his brains.
-Wait. If 2401 is being blamed for the containment breach, then he's *not* filing the report. But then...WHO WAS PHONE?
