When the ship was finally able to observe the site directly, the crew immediately recognised the Flood on the surface, resulting in Lycaon attempting to commence the standard [[Emergency Contact Protocol Upsilon|UPSILON]] protocol and urging [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] Alvarez to bombard the site with [[nuclear weapon]]s. Alvarez refused, believing the find to be of critical strategic significance to the rebuilding of the UNSC fleet, resulting in Lycaon's attempt to remove the captain from command as per [[UNSC Regulation 14-372-01]]. Lycaon was interrupted during his attempt to relieve Alvarez's command due to Alvarez's knowledge of the command override phrase ''actiones secundum fidei'' ("actions according to faith") - leaving the AI frozen and the junior crew hesitant to attempt a mutiny against their [[commanding officer]]. Instead, Alvarez ordered the deployment of several [[Condor]] dropships to deploy military forces to the site to begin Flood cleanup operations.{{Ref/Reuse|Saturn}} | When the ship was finally able to observe the site directly, the crew immediately recognised the Flood on the surface, resulting in Lycaon attempting to commence the standard [[Emergency Contact Protocol Upsilon|UPSILON]] protocol and urging [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] Alvarez to bombard the site with [[nuclear weapon]]s.

Upon landing, the force (consisting of a squadron of [[ | Upon landing, the force (consisting of a squadron of [[Cyclops|Cyclopes]], multiple [[Hellbringers]], and the Spartan [[Fireteam Leviathan]]) was immediately engaged by the Flood, and for a brief time appeared to be successful in their attempt to mop up the outbreak. However, the Flood was soon able to bring down one of the Spartans, resulting in their infection and conversion to a [[Flood combat form|combat form]].{{Ref/Reuse|Saturn}} The Spartan's [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor]] immediately detected the presence of the [[Flood Super Cell]] breach and reacted by overpressurising the armour's [[hydrostatic gel]] layer, crushing the Spartan's body, and activating the explosive mechanisms inside the Spartan's [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance|Gallows VISR]] - with the aim of destroying their brain. The Flood was able to counteract this and inject its own code into the suit, cancelling the countermeasure deployment and instead re-sealing the armour while converting the Spartan inside.{{Ref/Site|Id=Season5intel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/reckoning-intel|Site=Halo Waypoint|Section=Halo Infinite|Page=Reckoning Intel|D=14|M=11|Y=2023|LocalArchive=Halo Infinite Story & Intel#Season 5}} | ||
With the tables rapidly turning and the containment operation devolving into chaos, Alvarez realised his own shortsightedness and the risk now posed to [[Milky Way|the galaxy]] should the Flood make it off Site 22. Consequently, he gave the order to enact [[CORRUPTER]] protocols and begin [[Nuclear weapon|nuclear bombardment]] of the asteroid via [[Shiva-class nuclear missile]],{{Ref/Reuse|Saturn}} giving all surviving ground-side personnel seven minutes to evacuate.{{Ref/Site|Id=S4Intel|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/infection-intel|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Infection Intel|D=11|M=10|Y=2023|LocalArchive=Halo Infinite Story & Intel}} During the bombardment, the now-infected [[Julien Donney]] was able to reach one of the Condor dropships, though it is unknown whether the Flood-infested craft was able to escape the bombardment.{{Ref/Reuse|Saturn}} | With the tables rapidly turning and the containment operation devolving into chaos, Alvarez realised his own shortsightedness and the risk now posed to [[Milky Way|the galaxy]] should the Flood make it off Site 22.
