Forerunner-Flood war: Difference between revisions

While during the stalemate the Flood was exponentially growing and readying for an attack, eventually they assaulted the Forerunner core systems with thousands of Flood-filled supraluminal vessels. Three Forerunner naval groups, the [[Emergency Circumstance Fleet]], [[Security Fleet]], and [[Suppression Fleet]], were recalled to defend against the Flood counterattack. [[Mendicant Bias]] fell to [[rampancy]] and instead of attacking the Gravemind, turned against the Forerunners for the Flood cause.

With naval strategies failing, the Forerunners turned to their Halo project; securing other species into the Ark while readying the Halo array for firing. Prior to the firing, two Forerunner units beyond the failing defense line, the [[Primary Pioneer Group]] and [[Advance Survey Team-Alpha]], came across Earth at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy. Of particular interest was a region devoid of any fauna, presumably somewhere in modern day Africa. The Librarian journeyed there in his quest for categorization, finding a planet empty of sentient life <ref>http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Terminals#Terminal_Four</ref>. After the Librarian had indexed all life on Earth, he/she had built a hidden portal to the Ark, at New Mombasa in Africa. After planting a garden "Eden", the Librarian spent the remainder of his/her life on Kilimonjaro<ref>http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Terminals#Terminal_Six</ref>.

The previous sentence is a misquote of Terminal Four. The Librarian states, "I'm trapped. On a beautiful, empty world. Its inhabitants have been safely indexed, every single one of them. They're special--well worth the effort it took to build one final gateway even at this late hour." The earth is empty of sentient life because humans have already been indexed on the Ark, "every single one of them."

In the meantime, the Flood, along with the aid of rampant Mendicant Bias, attacked the Maginot Sphere from multiple vectors. Sensing that any defense was futile as long as the Flood had more resources to consume, Didact knew that the only chance to stop the Flood was to activate the Array. Didact sent a final message to the Librarian as the trigger was pulled, dreading the fate they wrought through 300 years of war. All sentient life in the Milky Way galaxy were annihilated by the Halo Array. The Forerunners were believed to be extinguished from the galaxy, and the Flood were halted, and the centralized Gravemind form was destroyed<ref>http://www.halo3.com</ref>.
