Even as the imprisoned Marines were freed, the crew of the ''In Amber Clad'' were in peril. At the same time the Gravemind had sent SPARTAN-117 to hunt for the Index in the bowels of ''High Charity'', the Flood boarded ''In Amber Clad'' (probably via captured Pelicans), killed or infected the crew, and took control of the ship. The Flood-controlled ''In Amber Clad'' then jumped directly into''High Charity'', where it plummeted uncontrollably, crashing into the Far Tower.<ref>'''The Official Halo 2 Strategy Guide''', ''page 128''</ref> | Even as the imprisoned Marines were freed, the crew of the ''In Amber Clad'' were in peril.

The Covenant politico-military fractures were not restricted to ''High Charity'': they extended to military units across the Covenant, including those on the surface of Installation 05. Upon Truth's order that the Brutes were now the ruling caste of the Covenant, Tartarus ordered the execution of the [[Councilor|Elite Councilors]], who had been gathered in the Control Room of Installation 05 for the consecration of the Sacred Icon before the Halos were fired. While most of the Councilors were murdered in cold blood, a small number were taken prisoner by the Brutes. | The Covenant politico-military fractures were not restricted to ''High Charity'': they extended to military units across the Covenant, including those on the surface of Installation 05.
