After the rest of the Marines had discovered Rabbit's remains, Cranker acknowledged Lopez's report that two contacts were on their way toward the cargo bay. He and his team were then ordered to hold their position. Soon after, Cranker proceeded to report that no Covenant ever arrived the cargo bay, when he and his team were attacked by [[Pod infector]]s and disappeared without a trace. Cranker and Maller would later return to the Pelican as [[Flood combat form]]s. The unsuspecting pilot, [[Burgundy]], opened the gangplank, only to be immediately attacked by Cranker and Maller. They then proceeded to drag Burgundy to the [[proto-Gravemind]] the Flood was forming in the ''Mona Lisa'' | After the rest of the Marines had discovered Rabbit's remains, Cranker acknowledged Lopez's report that two contacts were on their way toward the cargo bay.
