The Scarab successfully blasted a hole in the quarantine shell, allowing the brutes to enter the ruins of High Charity freely. Voridus ordered a small [[pack]] of Brutes to enter the structure and report what they found. The group entered noisily, and were quickly beset upon by the Flood. Eventually, one brute would make his way back to the surface, only to reveal himself a [[Flood combat form|combat form]] turned by the Flood. The lone infected was quickly followed by a tidal wave of [[pod infector]]s and [[Abomination]]s, who quickly surrounded the small Banished party and began to overrun them, as thousands more Flood escaped into the surrounding landscape of the Ark.{{Ref/Reuse|WCGW?}} Voridus would retreat into a Forerunner structure, and begin to hold off the Flood there while surrounded.{{Ref/Reuse|FR}}

Voridus and his surviving troops fell back and tried to make contact with Pavium to warn him of the threat, but were unable to do so, despite several of Pavium's [[Huragok]] attempting to patch the communications. Pavium and his group noticed movement inside the wreckage of High Charity, and were set upon by a horde of infection forms, with Pavium ordering them to kill those who were infected. Pavium and his forces fell into a pattern of defending as long as they could, before falling back to a new safe zone once one area was overrun. Pavium was able to request reinforcements from [[Colony]], who was able to deploy two [[Goliath]]s to help assist in clearing wreckage blocking the path of the retreating Banished troops. Eventually, the Flood were able to infect vehicles, and began sending the infected vehicles at Pavium's forces, followed by the burrowing [[Flood burster]]s.{{Ref/Level|Id=FR|HW2|Fighting Retreat}}
