At the conclusion of the [[Battle of Voi]], with the [[Prophet of Truth]] activating the [[Artifact]] and the Covenant fleet escaping to the [[Ark]], a Flood-infected Covenant cruiser appeared out of [[Slipspace]], having penetrated the Elite's blockade of High Charity and crash-landed at the city of [[Voi]] in an effort to spread. When Master Chief engaged the flood forms, they seemed to have thicker skin and a hard exoskeleton. It is possible that when High Charity was captured by the Gravemind, the Flood evolved these new forms in preperation for the attack on Earth and to begin to form into a more combat based stage of flood development. This seems to be confirmed by a Spec-Op Elite as he explains to the Arbiter that the Flood have "evolved". In order to prevent the Flood from spreading and infecting the entire planet, [[Miranda Keyes]] ordered John-117 to overload and detonate the cruiser's reactors, causing the city of Voi to be destroyed and the Flood there to be sterilized. As John-117 and the [[Thel 'Vadam]] fought their way toward the ship, the [[Shadow of Intent]] arrived and deployed a small Sangheili task force to aid UNSC marines. SPARTAN-117, with the help of the Sangheili, was able to battle through the Flood forces, including the newly encountered Flood [[Pure Form]]s to reach the crashed cruiser where he found a message from [[Cortana]]. Upon this discovery, 343 Guilty Spark arrived pledging his assistance to the Reclaimers. With the Flood spreading, SPARTAN-117 boarded a Phantom while the Sangheili went on to glass the infected areas. The remaining [[Sangheili]] forces, fulfilling their mission of removing the Flood from Earth, retreated back to the Sangheili Carrier, the [[Shadow of Intent]], along with Cortana's message and Guilty Spark.

As John-117 and the [[Thel 'Vadam]] fought their way toward the ship, the Elite Battlecruiser,[[Shadow of Intent]], arrived and deployed a small Sangheili task force via drop-pods to aid the UNSC forces inside the infected area.SPARTAN-117, with the help of the Sangheili and the Arbiter, was able to battle through the Flood forces, including the newly encountered Flood [[Pure Form]]s to reach the crashed cruiser where he encountered a device containing a message from [[Cortana]]. Upon this discovery, 343 Guilty Spark arrived, and after a heated discussion between [[SPARTAN-117|John]] and 343, Spark was allowed to take and attept recovery of Cortana's message. After the message, 343 pledged his assistance to the Reclaimers. With the Flood spreading, SPARTAN-117 boarded a Phantom while the Sangheili went on to glass the infected areas.

With the assistance of 343 Guilty Spark, Cortana's message was repaired, revealing a solution to the Flood menace on the Ark. To Lord Hood's disapproval, Miranda Keyes led UNSC forces allied with Thel 'Vadam's and Rtas 'Vadum's Sangheili's through the Portal.
