Fridge

"The Fridge?" "It's worse than it sounds."

- Lloyd Rathman and Skye

The Fridge is a S.H.I.E.L.D. detainment and storage facility at a classified location. The structure is 100 stories tall and can only be accessed through the roof. It also contained the Ice Box. Its contents were stolen and most of the prisoners were freed by HYDRA during the S.H.I.E.L.D. Civil War.

History
"Once we hit the Fridge and grab all the fun toys tucked away inside we'll be able to take any base we want."

- John Garrett

Agent Phil Coulson ordered that the mass of Gravitonium confiscated from the compound of Ian Quinn in Malta be stored in an unmarked vault at The Fridge with no record of its existence.

The international criminal Vanchat was taken to The Fridge for detainment after being taken into custody.

Ian Quinn was later transferred to The Fridge by Agents John Garrett and Antoine Triplett. Grant Ward learned from Phil Coulson that the cluster of Gravitonium they obtained from Malta was not on the Bus, but located in the Fridge. After it was revealed that John Garrett was an agent of HYDRA and the Clairvoyant, Agents Victoria Hand, Grant Ward, and two others planned to imprison Garrett in the Fridge. Agent Ward freed Garrett after killing Hand and the others aboard the Jump Jet.

Later, Garrett and Ward led an infiltration mission to retrieve secret S.H.I.E.L.D. weaponry stored in the Fridge. It was revealed that Operation Slingshot was just a ruse protecting the weapons which were actually held at the Fridge. Weapons and artifacts such as Gravitonium were found in a discrete location below the Fridge that even Garrett did not know. Weapons such as the Peruvian 0-8-4, Gravitonium and the Berserker Staff were stolen by HYDRA. Several inmates were also released, including Marcus Daniels.

Slingshot Program
The Fridge was home to all of the items that were supposedly destroyed by the Slingshot Program.

Location
The exact location of The Fridge is classified, but it was said to be a six-hour long flight from Utah, suggesting either a North American or South American location depending on the speed and range of the Bus.
