+A '''porta'''<ref>'''[[Halo 3: The Official Guide]]''', ''page 99''</ref> is a sphincter-like orifice embedded into the floors and walls of [[Flood hive]]s that acts as the [[Flood]] analog to [[door]]ways.

-A '''Porta''' is a sphincter-like orifice embedded into the floors and walls of [[Flood Hive]]s that acts as the [[Flood]] analog to doorways. Portas were sighted in the [[Flood]]-infested ''[[High Charity]]'' and in the ''Halo 3'' multi-player map [[Isolation]]. There are also [[7|seven]] portas on the level [[Cortana (Level)|Cortana]].
+The portas replace the doors in the original architecture of the Flood hive, because of the excessive growth of [[Flood blister]]s in the area. Even though the [[Gravemind]] controls all Flood forms, it doesn't control the opening and closing of a porta. This is supported by the fact that during [[Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief]] [[John-117]]'s [[raid on High Charity]], the portas in front of him opens, despite the Gravemind's attempts to stop John's progress to save the [[Artificial intelligence|AI construct]] [[Cortana]].{{Ref/Reuse|cort}}
+__NOTOC__
 ==Trivia==
-*Portas may or may not be the doors on ''[[High Charity]]'', covered in [[Flood]] biomass.
+*Portas are comprised of [[seven]] segments, and there are seven Portas on the campaign level ''[[Cortana (level)|Cortana]]''.
-*Portas have at least two [[7]] references in them, one being that Portas are made up of 7 segments, and that there are 7 Portas on the level [[Cortana (level)| Cortana]].
+*The name "porta" probably comes from the Greek word ''porta'' (''πόρτα'') or the Italian word ''porta'', which both mean "door".
-*The name, "porta", probably comes from the [[Greece|Greek]] word ''porta'' (''πόρτα''), which means door.
+*On the ''Halo 3'' multiplayer map ''[[Isolation]]'', there is one Porta. Sliding down a hole on the top part of the map will lead the player to slide down a tube. A Porta will open, leading into a Flood-infested cave.
-*On the ''[[Halo 3]]'' multiplayer map [[Isolation (Level)|Isolation]] there is one porta. Sliding down a hole on the top part of the map will lead you to slide down a tube. A porta will open, letting you into the Flood-infested cave.
