In [[2552#December|December 2552]], three days after the [[Human-Covenant War]] ended, [[monitor]] [[000 Tragic Solitude]] had a containment shield set up around the ruins of [[High Charity]] to contain the [[Flood]] that had survived the detonation of the city's reactors and the firing of [[Installation 08]]. As an additional security measure, Tragic Solitude had the Sentinels raze the perimeter and modify the refugia to ensure that no sentient life survived nearby, in order to deprive the Flood of any host bodies in proximity to their prison. Tragic Solitude also kept a battalion of Sentinels on patrol in the vicinity of the containment shield, not only to guard against the Flood, but to guard against future invaders who might try to breach the shield and thus release the Flood.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''' ''[[Phoenix Logs]]'' - ''Idle Hands II''</ref> | In [[2552#December|December 2552]], three days after the [[Human-Covenant War]] ended, [[monitor]] [[000 Tragic Solitude]] had a containment shield set up around the ruins of [[High Charity]] to contain the [[Flood]] that had survived the detonation of the city's reactors and the firing of [[Installation 08]].

During the [[Second Ark Conflict]] in [[2559#June|June 2559]], [[Atriox]], the leader of the [[Banished]], ordered [[Jiralhanae]] brothers [[Pavium]] and [[Voridus]] to salvage anything useful from the shipwrecks near High Charity, but to only scout the shell and leave it alone, well-aware of the danger posed by any surviving Flood. However, like many of the Banished, Voridus brushed off the Flood as another Covenant lie and didn't heed Atriox's warnings.

Instead, Voridus deactivated the Ark's Sentinel defense network using a terminal near High Charity and burned a hole in the containment shield with a [[Barukaza Workshop Scarab]]. When Voridus' troops entered the wreckage, they were swarmed by Flood [[infection form]]s which attacked the Banished and escaped onto the Ark through the breach in the containment shield created by Voridus, unimpeded by the Ark's Sentinels due to Voridus deactivating them.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare]]''', campaign level ''[[What Could Go Wrong?]]''</ref> | ||
