The boarders fought their way to the ship's bridge, killing Shipmaster Lat 'Ravamee. After neutralizing the hostiles on the bridge, the Master Chief left the Marines to defend against intruders while he went in search of Captain Keyes in one of the ship's brigs. While making his way to the prison cells, he encountered another prison block that contained dead Marines who were either beaten or tortured to death. Needless to say, he did not find Captain Keyes in this cell block. The Master Chief proceeded to yet another cell block where he found Keyes and several other POWs. | ||

On [[2552#September|September 21]], following the inadvertent release of the [[Flood]], the Covenant leadership ordered all vessels to withdraw from the Halo. However, ''Truth and Reconciliation'' had been overwhelmed and disabled by the Flood before it could leave. The Covenant were fearful that the Flood would repair the ship, escape the installation, and infect the galaxy. The Covenant sent warriors, including a [[Covenant Special Operations|special operations contingent]], to retake the cruiser from the Flood. Amid this battle, John-117 was sent in to find Captain Keyes and extract him, or, failing that, to retrieve the Captain's [[command neural interface]] so the ''Pillar of Autumn''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s engines could be overloaded by utilizing the access codes found in the captain's implants, thus destroying the ring. | On [[2552#September|September 21]], following the inadvertent release of the [[Flood]], the Covenant leadership ordered all vessels to withdraw from the Halo.

Upon reaching Keyes on the ship's bridge, John discovered that Keyes had been infected by the Flood and had been used as the basis for a [[Proto-Gravemind]]. Cortana informed the SPARTAN that no human life signs remained.<ref>'''Halo: The Flood''', ''page 305-306''</ref> The Master Chief then punched through Keyes' skull and forcefully removed the neural implants. Shortly thereafter, a Covenant special operations team ambushed the SPARTAN. John then made his way to one of the vessel's hangar bays, where he escaped aboard a [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]]; he then flew to the ''Pillar of Autumn''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s crash site. | Upon reaching Keyes on the ship's bridge, John discovered that Keyes had been infected by the Flood and had been used as the basis for a [[Proto-Gravemind]].
