[[File:Picture 1.jpg|thumb|250px|A Marine under attack by Flood combat forms.]]As the Flood began to [[Flood outbreak|rapidly spread]] from the ''Indulgence of Conviction's'' crash site into the surrounding city of Voi and assimilating the corpses of humans and Covenant killed during the battle, Commander Keyes, recognizing the severity of the threat, ordered John-117 to make his way to the downed battlecruiser and overload its engines, knowing that that was their only chance to prevent the Flood from spreading across the entire planet. Admiral Hood agreed with her assessment and John, accompanied by Thel made his way back down the hill towards the Traxus facility. The recently-victorious UNSC forces scattered across Voi began to encounter the new hostiles, and with most of them having never encountered the Flood before, were easily assimilated by the parasite. John and Thel made it back to the entrance of the facility where a squad of Marines were regrouping. Suddenly, swarms of [[Pod infector]]s and [[Flood combat form|combat forms]] descended from the rooftops, landing amidst the Marines and rapidly infecting most of them, forcing John, Thel and the survivors to turn their weapons on them. Eventually beating back the wave of Flood, Thel urged the Spartan to hurry and find the crash site, knowing that speed was imperative to stop the Flood outbreak.{{Ref/Reuse|flood}} | [[File:Picture 1.jpg|thumb|250px|A Marine under attack by Flood combat forms.]]As the Flood began to [[Flood outbreak|rapidly spread]] from the ''Indulgence of Conviction's'' crash site into the surrounding city of Voi and assimilating the corpses of humans and Covenant killed during the battle, Commander Keyes, recognizing the severity of the threat, ordered John-117 to make his way to the downed battlecruiser and overload its engines, knowing that that was their only chance to prevent the Flood from spreading across the entire planet.

In the warehouse, masses of Flood combat forms were attacking scattered groups of Marines led by [[Marcus Stacker|Gunnery Sergeant Stacker]]. John and Thel engaged in combat with the large numbers of infested humans and Jiralhanae, eventually clearing the area and rescuing several survivors including the sergeant. In the next area, they arrived too late to save several Marines from the Flood, including one wielding a [[M7057 flamethrower|flamethrower]]. Despite this, the group managed to wipe out all Flood forms present and John and Thel continued on while the surviving Marines stayed behind.{{Ref/Reuse|flood}} | ||

Due to the warehouse doors having been sealed, John and Thel were forced to make their way across a catwalk and into a room with a hole in the floor. The two dropped down into a small room containing UNSC medical supplies and John experienced another vision of Cortana, a seemingly fragmented message warning him that she couldn't tell him much, as the Gravemind was aware that she was in "the system" - this was in truth a part of the message that Cortana had sent on board the ''Indulgence of Conviction'' as the vessel departed from the [[Coelest system]]. Within the winding pathway of corrugated steel plates, a group of Flood combat forms attempted to ambush the duo, but failed and were eliminated. The former first-aid station was empty aside from a [[Suicidal Marine|single]] Marine surrounded by the corpses of his comrades. The Marine, having been driven to insanity by the Flood, babbled about how he had witnessed his squad becoming infected by the Flood and how he had subsequently had to put them down. Holding a [[M6G magnum|pistol]] to his head, the Marine reasoned that he needed to help himself too. After doing what they could for the Marine, John and Thel proceeded out onto the lake bed on which the Spartan had previously faced the Scarab, now mostly sheared away due to the crash landing of the ''Indulgence of Conviction''.{{Ref/Reuse|flood}} | Due to the warehouse doors having been sealed, John and Thel were forced to make their way across a catwalk and into a room with a hole in the floor.
