The ''Incorruptible'''s commander, [[Zealot|Ship Master]] [[Tano 'Inanraree]], who was a member of the [[Governors of Contrition]], was overcome by religous fever and ordered the ship to be infected by the [[Flood]]. The Governors of Contrition believed ''all'' Forerunner creations were sacrosanct, even the parasitic Flood infestation of Halo.<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 192.</ref> 'Mantakree was forced to kill his former mentor and friend with a [[Needler]] to end his insanity. This action was heresy and normally Voro would have been killed by the [[Lekgolo]] bonded pair of [[Paruto Xida Konna]] and [[Waruna Xida Yotno]] who were responsible for the safety of the Ship Master or failing that, kill the attacker; however, the rest of the crew agreed that Tano's judgment had been clouded by the Prophets. With support from the rest of the crew, 'Mantakree was made Ship Master of the [[Reverance-class]] cruiser [[Incorruptible]]. [[Y'gar]], the eldest bridge officer said, "Tano was devout to the end. But his reasoning in light of recent events, was not sound. This was regrettable, but necessary...Ship Master."<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]] page 191.</ref> Voro ordered the grunts to remove Tano's body from the bridge but said leave Tano's blood remaining where it was as a reminder of the price he had paid for their survival. | The ''Incorruptible'''s commander, [[Zealot|Ship Master]] [[Tano 'Inanraree]], who was a member of the [[Governors of Contrition]], was overcome by religous fever and ordered the ship to be infected by the [[Flood]].

While all of this was going on, the ''Incorruptible'' had been targeted by two Brute frigates, the ''[[Tenebrous]]'' and the ''[[Twilight Compunction]]''. Both of the ships launched salvos of plasma and disabled the ''Incorruptible'''s shields. Voro took evasive action and hid behind the [[Covenant]] [[Carrier]] ''[[Lawgiver]]'', who's shields were of full capacity. When the ship emerged from behind the ''Lawgiver'', Voro targeted the ''Tenebrous'' first, using plasma to disable and cripple the ship's shields and then finished it off with the [[Energy Projector]]. He then opened the starboard launch bay and vented plasma onto the cannons,making them appear to charge and move towards the brute ship. The ship ''Twilight Compunction'' retreated for the moment--"as they should when presented with superior firepower..even if that power was an illusion".<ref>[[Ghosts of Onyx]], page 195.</ref> He stayed in system for a short while to try to eliminate all remaining Flood-controlled ships. He was able to create a short truce between the Sangheili and Jiralhanae while they eliminated Flood controlled ships and four ships that had been or were being infected. Then the [[Brute]]s started targeting [[Sangheili]] ships, even though the [[Flood]] had not been completely eliminated. Shortly thereafter, they jumped system because it would have been "madness" to "stay here and fight." | While all of this was going on, the ''Incorruptible'' had been targeted by two Brute frigates, the ''[[Tenebrous]]'' and the ''[[Twilight Compunction]]''.
