Despite the measures imposed by the Chief Medical Officer [[O'Neil]], at least one [[Flood infection form]] managed to infiltrate the ship at some point. Six years later in [[2537]], the infection form came into contact with [[Violeta Maldini|one of the ship's technicians]], infecting her and spreading the Flood infection to other crew members in cryo-sleep. In response, the now-rampant Serina imposed quarantine on the ship's cryo bays in an effort to study the parasite, inadvertently allowing the Flood to mature further from within. The Flood sought to escape confinement, forcing [[Jerome-092]] to exterminate all infected crew and with the aid of Professor Anders went on to erase all remaining traces of the Flood parasite aboard the ''Spirit of Fire''. | Despite the measures imposed by the Chief Medical Officer [[O'Neil]], at least one [[Flood infection form]] managed to infiltrate the ship at some point.

In [[2558#March|March 2558]] the freighter, ''[[Pilgrims Pride]]'', was carrying several [[AC-220 Vulture]]s and [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]]s that were previously attached to the ''Spirit of Fire''.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #4''</ref> The ''Pilgrims Pride'' launched a surprise attack on the UNSC ''[[Infinity]]'' and attempted to self-destruct inside the ''Infinity'''s bay. The Spartans managed to eject the freighter out of the bay. They also saved the ''Pilgrims Pride'' from total destruction by removing its exploding core. After recovering the remains of the attacking Vultures and Sparrowhawks, the crew used the ID numbers on the hulls to identify the ships as belonging to the ''Spirit of Fire''. Confusing matters, the crew discovered that ''Pilgrims Pride'' had been constructed only five years earlier. While Commander Palmer speculated that the assault craft may have been stolen from the ''Spirit of Fire'' before the ship was lost, Roland pointed out that the assault craft were in fairly good condition for their age. Roland also determined that the freighter itself had been launched from [[Oth Lodon]], a gas giant deep inside Jiralhanae-controlled space.<ref name="HE5">'''Halo: Escalation''' - ''Issue #5''</ref> | In [[2558#March|March 2558]] the freighter, ''[[Pilgrims Pride]]'', was carrying several [[AC-220 Vulture]]s and [[AV-22 Sparrowhawk]]s that were previously attached to the ''Spirit of Fire''.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''Issue #4''</ref> The ''Pilgrims Pride'' launched a surprise attack on the UNSC ''[[Infinity]]'' and attempted to self-destruct inside the ''Infinity'''s bay.
