Fleeing to the medical bay through the Blue Deck, Rtas had his men go first while he created a trap with a [[plasma turret]]. Overloading its charge to dangerous levels, he drew the Flood's attention and then evacuated the room just before the turret's battery exploded, creating a hull breach and killing any other Flood pursuing them.<ref>'''Halo Graphic Novel''', ''page 34''</ref> The warriors then regrouped and rearmed themselves with weapons from a nearby locker, though the battery's explosion had shorted out some of their communication equipment, meaning they would have to contact their pickup dropship visually. At the medical bay, the warriors scanned themselves and demonstrated to the Minister that they were not infected. They then went down via grav lift to the next floor, where the Minister awaited them in the hydroponics deck.<ref>'''Halo Graphic Novel''', ''page 36''</ref> | Fleeing to the medical bay through the Blue Deck, Rtas had his men go first while he created a trap with a [[plasma turret]].

Inside, the Minister explained to them about the Flood and of its evolving nature. Now that they had spread throughout most of the ship, the Flood forms were growing more organized, assembling a [[Proto-Gravemind]] and setting up guard in the engineering | Inside, the Minister explained to them about the Flood and of its evolving nature. Now that they had spread throughout most of the ship, the Flood forms were growing more organized, assembling a [[Proto-Gravemind]] and setting up guard in the engineering by, looking for a way to activate the ship's [[slipspace drive]] and so spread to other planets.<ref>'''Halo Graphic Novel''', ''page 38-39''</ref> The Minister and 'Vadumee then conferred as to what their plan for destroying the Flood and escaping should be. Depressurizing the ship's deck into vacuum was out of the question, because there were no vacuum suits aboard and the Minister had limited pressurization control. The Minister claimed they should evacuate immediately and have the fleet destroy the ''Succor'' with their weapons, but 'Vadumee retorted that it would take nearly half an hour for them to escape then open fire, giving the Flood plenty of time to take control of the slipspace engine. Instead he ordered Sub-Commander 'Kusovai to take three Elites and the remaining Unggoy with the Minister while Rtas and the other four Elites took control of the slipspace engine and plotted a course into [[Soell system|the local sun]]. 'Kusovai's unit would then contact the Phantom with plasma grenades as flares and leave if Rtas' group did not return within five minutes. When the Minister protested out of concern for his safety, Rtas, furious over the previous trials the San'Shyuum had sent them through, attacked him, demanding that he leave and give him his command codes.<ref>'''Halo Graphic Novel''', ''page 40-41''</ref> | ||
The party then split and left the hydroponics deck to their assorted tasks. Going into Engineering, Rtas' unit blasted their way through the guarded hallway with plasma grenades, then using their swords to avoid damaging the local systems with their weapons.<ref>'''Halo Graphic Novel''', ''page 43''</ref> But in reaching the engineering control center, most of Rtas' warriors were killed, as were Kusovai's unit as well.<ref>'''Halo Graphic Novel''', ''page 49''</ref> While 'Vadumee input coordinates for the ''Succor'', he was attacked by the infected corpse of 'Kusovai. The two Sangheili dueled with energy swords, Rtas eventually killing him at the cost of his left mandibles.<ref>'''Halo Graphic Novel''', ''page 53''</ref> With ''Succor's'' destruction assured, Rtas left engineering and returned to the fleet via Phantom.<ref>'''Halo Graphic Novel''', ''page 54''</ref> | The party then split and left the hydroponics deck to their assorted tasks.
