Captain Cutter then ordered all UNSC personnel on the planet to return to the ''Spirit of Fire''. These orders were impeded by the Flood, which attempted to prevent the humans' retreat, but the Flood were eventually held back long enough for the UNSC forces to return to the ''Spirit''. The Flood attacked the ''Spirit'' as it entered the interior of the shield world, but was cleared off by the ship's crew, Sentinels, and a series of "cleansing rings" lining the interior passage. All the Flood forms on the shield world were destroyed when Sergeant Forge used the ''Spirit of Fire's'' [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine]] to destroy the Shield World's internal sun, obliterating all Covenant and Flood forces on the shield world. The ''Spirit of Fire'' narrowly escaped by performing a hastily-calculated slingshot maneuver around the exploding sun in order to shoot off into space. Without the ''Spirit's'' slipspace engine, however, the ship was lost in space, with humanity's only knowledge of the Flood lost with it. | Captain Cutter then ordered all UNSC personnel on the planet to return to the ''Spirit of Fire''.

On January 1, [[2537]], six years after the events on Shield World 0459, a Flood outbreak was initiated aboard the Spirit of Fire by a [[Flood infection]] form that had managed to remain hidden aboard the ship. As the Flood threatened to breach quarantine, Serina awoke [[Jerome-092]] who, with the aid of Professor [[Ellen Anders]], was forced to exterminate all infected crew members, ensuring the survival of the Spirit and its remaining crew. After all traces of the Flood parasite aboard the Spirit of Fire were erased. | |||
