High Charity's arrival on the [[Ark]] is rather strange, as [[Installation 00]] is beyond the Outer Rim, and the [[Flood]]'s destination was [[Earth]]. The only possibility was that it went through the Earth [[Portal]] and arrived at the Ark. However, at the end of ''[[Halo 3]]'', [[Earth]] seemed perfectly fine. While the Flood could have penetrated the handful of [[human]] ships guarding the portal rather easily, it seems unlikely that the [[Gravemind]] would avoid leaving at least a small number of Flood spores on Earth as it passes. and as seen when High charity arrived at the ~~ark~~. Both small and big peices of debris fell from the wrekaged city. Which questions why earth hadn't been infected given the amount of Flood that was attached on the single rock that flew through the window on the barrier tower, unless High Charity exited slipspace directly above the portal to the Ark, entering it immediately. Another theory is that during the Forerunner-Flood War, the Gravemind learned of the Ark and what it does, which is considered likely since he was able to at least converse with AI's of Forerunner ownership. Finding the Portal on Earth, he may have considered leaving any of his minions upon Earth to be a waste if he wasn't able to stop the activation of the Halo array, and would need all of the biomass it could muster if circumstances lead to their firing. Perhaps because of this, he left no Flood on Earth.

There is also the question of power, High Charity depended upon the engines of the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] to power its own thrusters and slipspace drive. Yet the Flood-infested city, lacking any apparent power source, can be seen moving under its own power, arriving first at Earth and then the Ark. It may be possible that the Flood may have been using the back-up power supplies on board the ship.
