Brilliant Gift

Summary
The Brilliant Gift is a Covenant Dropship seen crashed in the swamps in 343 Guilty Spark, later used by the Flood to board the Infinite Succor.

It is to be noted that the Flood were infected Human Combat forms armed with human weapons and NOT Covenant. They were possibly members of Captain Keyes' team when they first encountered the Flood.

The dropship crahsed onto the Infinite Succor's hanger and was irreperably damaged. However, it did not matter. The Flood soon spread throughout the Infinite Succor, infected the entire crew and the creatures in the hunting ground except the Legate.
