While being interrogated, the Pod infector inside Jenkins' body attempted to attack its interrogators by extending a tentacle through Jenkins' hand, snapping the bones and veins. As Jenkins described it, it was a "living hell". However, the parasite was knocked unconscious by the pain, this gave Jenkins the chance to reveal the imminent threat of the Flood beneath the base. He  pointed with his other hand that had not been broken at the ground.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''pages 275-276''</ref> Major Silva believed that Jenkins was pointing at his boot until Lieutenant McKay correctly interpreted that Jenkins was pointing down in fact and not actually at Silva's boot, and ordered a squad to exterminate them.

Jenkins was later taken to the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' while the Marines assaulted the ship. Jenkins knew that Silva planned to take the ship home to [[Earth]]. He also knew that there were more Flood present on the ship, and that they would inevitably escape and overwhelm the human population should Silva succeed in bringing the ship home. He thus overwhelmed the infection form inside him and tried to destroy the ship by destroying a fiber-optic pathway that linked the Control Room to the engines. He failed, but Lieutenant McKay, seeing the truth as well, destroyed the vessel for him by using a [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|fragmentation grenade]]. The explosion severed the pathway, cutting off control to the engines and causing the ship to crash into the surface of Halo, where it exploded. The destruction of the ''Truth and Reconciliation'' mercifully ended his suffering. <ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', ''page 332''</ref> Before he died, he managed to mouth the words "Thank you" to the Lieutenant.
