It is likely that the Auto-turret is encoded into the level as a 'Forerunner team member', meaning its allegiance lies with [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)| Guilty Spark]]. When Guilty Spark, a member of the 'Forerunner team', becomes your enemy, it follows a script to break the team allegiance between the player (the Master Chief, and on [[Co-op]], the Arbiter). This is also why the Flood and Auto-turrets fight each other, because while the player's allegiance is aligned with the Flood, the Forerunner and Flood teams remain enemies.<ref>By using HMT to exam the <tt>actor</tt> tags of an AI, the different allegiance flags can be seen and altered. For ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', these teams are 'Flood', Sentinel', 'Covenant', 'Human', and 'Player', as well as several others, which are never used. The allegiance of a unit is determined by the team flag selected for that unit. No one unit of a team can ally with another team without the use of scripts, or that specific unit relocating to another team, but the former is much easier.</ref> | It is likely that the Auto-turret is encoded into the level as a 'Forerunner team member', meaning its allegiance lies with [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)| Guilty Spark]].

If you kill all of the Marines and allow the Flood to live, the Flood will attack Guilty Spark. | ||
