"When Reach was glassed in 2552, an ONI facility deep beneath the surface survived."
This level is divided into two sections, the surface and underground. The surface is in a crater where a plasma bomb hit (no invisible walls). Everything is black, there is very little cover save for the darkness, but the ground glints in the sunlight at the right angle. There are three elevators from the surface to the underground section, which is made up of four rooms connected by destructable catwalks. Room one is the generator room, from where the lights in every other room can be shut off. Three generators line one wall, with space in-between them that is good for an ambush. Room two is the laboratory, which is a Forerunner facility that ONI dug into. Designed after the Flood deathtrap laboratory on "The Oracle" in Halo 2, this is the only room that contains Covenant weaponry. Room three is the brig, which is easily the most defensable. It is a corridor lined with cells that can be opened and provide good positions to shoot from if you crouch in them, but are also deathtraps if grenades are thrown in them. At the end of the corridor is an elevated platform with a shotgun on it and the console to open all cells simultaneously (they can't be closed again). The catwalks go through an open expanse (the three rooms are in a triangle) with a HUGE stalagtite going through the middle of them. In this stalagtite is the armory, holding a huge stockpile of weaponry, but accessable from three directions at once (a deathtrap if you stay there). Down a stairwell from the Armory is a hangar with a Banshee in it that can be thrown through the cave (there are notches in the wall elsewhere in the cave large enough to land the banshee in that are perfect for a sniper to crouch in, but highly vulnerable to rockets). Down ANOTHER stairwell from there is the office with the dead man's switch. It must be pressed once every five minutes or a bomb will go off that destroys the entire base. If I think of more to add, I will do so later.
