The special ops team of Elites and Grunts were deployed by the [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] ''[[Glorious Advance]]'' into the ''Succor's'' hangar bay. When searching it, the warriors found a trail of Unggoy and Huragok blood leading to the ''Succor's'' hunting preserve. The team followed the trail in hopes of finding the ship's attackers. When scans of the preserve indicated an approaching lifeform, the team split in two, one squad with Elites and the Grunts to flank, the other to draw the attacker's attention from the front.<ref>'''Halo Graphic Novel''', ''page 19''</ref> At that moment, many Flood-infected creatures swarmed the Covenant warriors, killing some of the Grunts and an Elite while the others fended them off with energy swords. When the hordes grew too great, the warriors retreated as fast as they could to the command bridge, locking the door with their command codes. | The special ops team of Elites and Grunts were deployed by the [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] ''[[Glorious Advance]]'' into the ''Succor's'' hangar bay.

However, the warriors found that both their radios and the ship's systems were offline. The ship's sole survivor, the Minister of Etiology, then contacted them to say that he had disabled the systems so as to not let the Flood access them. Despite the warriors' insistence to let them retake control of the ship, the Minister refused and told them to head to the medical bay so that they could confirm that they were not infected.<ref>'''Halo Graphic Novel''', ''page 29''</ref> The Flood broke through the bridge's door controls immediately then, with Rtas and his warriors battling through them out of the bridge. The Elites went first while the Unggoy held back to provide covering fire and to destroy the bridge so that the Flood could not make use of it.<ref>'''Halo Graphic Novel''', ''page 31''</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]]. 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]].
