A Forerunner-based research team called the [[Primary Pioneer Group]] made active landfall on the bordering planet known as G617g and they initially reported some interesting findings. Despite previous assumptions and conjectures, the world could support sentient life despite the lack of fauna, which they intended to review more closely. The protocol allows them to dispatch a secondary batch of researchers called the [[Advance Survey Team-Alpha]]. After a week of no communication, the [[Forerunner]]s who were remotely monitoring this new discovery became worried. It may be assumed that the research team became the first (known) victims of the Flood during the war, and either by their own transport, or by a relief force later sent, the Flood escaped the planet and began the largest genocide in all recorded history.<ref name="t6"/> | A Forerunner-based research team called the [[Primary Pioneer Group]] made active landfall on the bordering planet known as G617g and they initially reported some interesting findings.
