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 (Structure)|High Charity]]'', in the ''[[Halo 3]]'' [[multiplayer]] map, [[Isolation]] and in ''[[Halo Wars]]'', on the [[Flood Barracks]]. | |||
