- High Charity's Bane.
- The Proto-Gravemind within High Charity is the shadow of a far greater threat,
- one that will unleash damnation upon the stars should it grow unchecked. High
- Charity's proto-Gravemind is a perverse mockery of a living thing, a gluttonous
- stump of Flood cells that remained behind when Halo's cleansing energies
- burned away the corrupted biomass which once supported the Gravemind.
- A measure of Gravemind's intellect remains, though its new vessel must feed
- and spread in order for it to manifest fully once again. With every Banished
- soldier that succumbs to its embrace, the Gravemind's re-emergence grows
- closer. The mountain of half-dead flesh quivers in anticipation, and the echo of
- timeless laughter rises from somewhere deep below.
- High Charity's Proto-Gravemind is a massive, highly adaptable biological weapon.
- It is a horrifying enemy, protected by every Flood beast on the Ark. Only fools
- and madmen dare to attack it without overwhelming force.
