In November of that year, when the ship was at Installation 05, the tank was brought to the Library in a Pelican while Commander Miranda Keyes and Sergeant Major Avery Johnson searched for the Activation Index. The Marines operating the tank were either killed or infected by the Flood present on the Installation, as the vehicle was under the control of a Flood combat form attacking the local Sentinel forces by the time the Arbiter Thel 'Vadamee got to it.[2]


Trivia
