Although the first firing of the Halo Array starved the Flood that were at large in the Milky Way Galaxy, Flood specimens were kept in stasis within installations around the galaxy, including [[Installation 04]] and various Forerunner research facilities. This would prove to be a grave mistake, as both humanity and the Covenant stumbled upon [[Installation 04|one]] of the abandoned Halo rings thousands of years after the firing of the Array. The UNSC [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Cortana]], aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, made what was presumed to be a "blind" jump through Slipspace (in reality, she used translated co-ordinates from a [[Sigma Octanus IV artifact|Forerunner artifact]] found on [[Sigma Octanus IV]]) to evade Covenant pursuers. This led both groups to Installation 04, and in turn, the Flood that were kept there in stasis. After the crash of the ''Pillar of Autumn'' on the Halo ring, piloted by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]], the surviving crewmembers dug in for what they believed would be a long and brutal guerrilla campaign against the Covenant forces on the ring. | Although the first firing of the Halo Array starved the Flood that were at large in the Milky Way Galaxy, Flood specimens were kept in stasis within installations around the galaxy, including [[Installation 04]] and various Forerunner research facilities.
