-At the conclusion of the [[Battle of Voi]], with the [[Prophet of Truth]] activating the [[Artifact]] and the Jiralhanae fleet escaping to the [[Ark]], a Flood infested Covenant cruiser appeared out of [[Slipspace]], having penetrated the Elite's blockade of High Charity and crash landed into the city of [[Voi]] in an effort to spread. When Master Chief engages the flood forms, they seam to have thicker skin and a hard exoskeleton. It is possible that when High Charity was captured by Gravemind that the flood evolved these new advantages to prepare to attack Earth and to begen to form into a more combat based stage of flood development. This seams to be comformed by Spec-Op Elite explains to the Arbiter that the Flood have "evolved". In order to prevent the Flood from escaping and infecting the entire planet, [[Miranda Keyes]] ordered John-117 to detonate the cruiser's reactors and search the ship for Cortana, causing the city of Voi to be destroyed and the Flood there eliminated. As John-117 and the [[Thel 'Vadam]] fought their way to the ship, the [[Shadow of Intent]] arrived and deployed Sangheili task force to aid UNSC marines. SPARTAN-117, with the help of the Sangheili, was able to battle through the Flood forces, including the newly encountered Flood [[Pure Form]]s to reach the crashed cruiser where he found a message from [[Cortana]]. Upon this discovery, 343 Guilty Spark arrived pledging his assistance to the Reclaimers. With the Flood spreading, SPARTAN-117 boarded a Phantom while the Sangheili went on to glass the infected areas. The remaining [[Sangheili]] forces, fulfilling their mission of removing the Flood from Earth, retreated back to the Sangheili Carrier, the [[Shadow of Intent]], along with Cortana's message and Guilty Spark.
+At the conclusion of the [[Battle of Voi]], with the [[Prophet of Truth]] activating the [[Artifact]] and the Covenant fleet escaping to the [[Ark]], a Flood-infected Covenant cruiser appeared out of [[Slipspace]], having penetrated the Elite's blockade of High Charity and crash-landed at the city of [[Voi]] in an effort to spread. When Master Chief engaged the flood forms, they seemed to have thicker skin and a hard exoskeleton. It is possible that when High Charity was captured by the Gravemind, the Flood evolved these new forms in preperation for the attack on Earth and to begin to form into a more combat based stage of flood development. This seems to be confirmed by a Spec-Op Elite as he explains to the Arbiter that the Flood have "evolved". In order to prevent the Flood from spreading and infecting the entire planet, [[Miranda Keyes]] ordered John-117 to overload and detonate the cruiser's reactors, causing the city of Voi to be destroyed and the Flood there to be sterilized. As John-117 and the [[Thel 'Vadam]] fought their way toward the ship, the [[Shadow of Intent]] arrived and deployed a small Sangheili task force to aid UNSC marines. SPARTAN-117, with the help of the Sangheili, was able to battle through the Flood forces, including the newly encountered Flood [[Pure Form]]s to reach the crashed cruiser where he found a message from [[Cortana]]. Upon this discovery, 343 Guilty Spark arrived pledging his assistance to the Reclaimers. With the Flood spreading, SPARTAN-117 boarded a Phantom while the Sangheili went on to glass the infected areas. The remaining [[Sangheili]] forces, fulfilling their mission of removing the Flood from Earth, retreated back to the Sangheili Carrier, the [[Shadow of Intent]], along with Cortana's message and Guilty Spark.
 With the assistance of 343 Guilty Spark, Cortana's message was repaired, revealing a solution to the Flood menace on the Ark. To Lord Hood's disapproval, Miranda Keyes led UNSC forces allied with Thel 'Vadam's and Rtas 'Vadum's Sangheili's through the Portal.
 On the Ark, while attempting to lower the shield surrounding the Ark's citadel, the infested [[High Charity]] made a Slipspace jump and smashed into the Ark, releasing the Flood inside the structure and causing an infestation on the newly built replacement for the destroyed Installation 04. After retrieving Cortana from the derelict [[High Charity]], SPARTAN-117 was able to kill all Flood present on the [[Ark]] and the [[Installation 04B|replacement]] [[Installation 04]] by first destroying High Charity's reactors, causing a massive explosion and the destruction of the wrecked city, then activating the unfinished Halo using the Index Cortana retained from the first Halo. The ring's activation also presumably killed the Gravemind.
