Well, they're both at cold temperatures, and they're both on Installation 05(Delta Halo). I haven't actually been outside of Cold Storage, but put when you put two and two together, it makes since. There are mountains visible on Lockout, so I just assumed that there was a mountain range in between Lockout and cold Storage. Second, Cold Storage is not part of the Lockout facility. Lockout is on Halo 2, while cold Storage is on Halo 3. It seems to me that Lockout was used to study the Flood, while Cold Storage was used to contain the Flood. Third, on Cold Storage, there are Gravemind tentacles visible outside a window. It could be the Flood form that broke out of Lockout, evolved into a Gravemind, and infested Cold Storage. Fourth, I never said the Flood that broke out of Lockout was an infection form. It was most likely an infected Forerunner combat form that killed everyone in Lockout, moved on to Cold Storage, killed the Forerunners there, then evolved into a Gravemind. I think that is most likely what happened.
