''Halo: The Flood'' takes place between September 19, [[2552]] and September 23, [[2552]]. It is based on the game ''Halo: Combat Evolved.'' It begins as the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] cruiser ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]'' is exiting slipspace (randomized vector due to the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]]) after retreating from the fallen military base at [[Reach]]. [[Cortana]]'s exit vector led the ship to a system found when she had decrypted Forerunner glyphs found by the [[John-117|Master Chief]] on [[Sigma Octanus IV]]. When the ''Pillar of Autumn'' drops out of slipspace, she encounters a massive ring-world in orbit around [[Threshold]], a gas giant. This world is called [[Installation 04]], also known as Alpha Halo. | ''Halo: The Flood'' takes place between September 19, [[2552]] and September 23, [[2552]].

At the wrecked ''Autumn'' the Master Chief is forced to destabilize the fusion reactors manually as 343 Guilty Spark and his robotic [[Sentinel]]s try to stop them. On the way to the Engine Room, the Master Chief is nearly infected by the Flood, but Cortana saves him. Once the countdown until detonation has begun, Cortana radios for dropship evacuation, but the transport is shot down by Covenant aircraft. A disgruntled Zuka 'Zamamee attempts to ambush the Chief, but is killed by a hail of grenades. Cortana directs the Chief to a [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword Interceptor]] still docked in the ''Pillar of Autumn'' hangar. Gunning the engines, the Chief and Cortana escape the ring just as the ''Autumn'' explodes, ending the threat of the [[The Flood|Flood]]. Cortana scans for survivors and realizes that they are seemingly the only two who have survived. Cortana tells the Master Chief that the fight is finished, to which the Chief replies, "''No, the Covenant is still out there, and Earth is at risk. We're just getting started.''" | At the wrecked ''Autumn'' the Master Chief is forced to destabilize the fusion reactors manually as 343 Guilty Spark and his robotic [[Sentinel]]s try to stop them.
