Thel rejoined John-117 at the docks, shortly after the Master Chief cleared the road to Voi of Covenant by destroying a Scarab. The two then attacked a section of the Covenant mechanized presence defending the area around the [[Portal at Voi|Forerunner Portal]], which took them through a Traxus warehouse and in a confrontation with a pair of [[Mgalekgolo]] who sided with Brutes. Along the way, he cursed at a preaching hologram of Truth and declared that he will never again be [[Mark of Shame|shamed]], cementing his newfound hatred toward the last surviving Hierarch of the Covenant, and still fuming over his betrayal and lies. | Thel rejoined John-117 at the docks, shortly after the Master Chief cleared the road to Voi of Covenant by destroying a Scarab.

Opening a hole in the Covenant anti-air defenses, [[Terrence Hood|Lord Hood]]'s remaining ships assaulted the Prophet of Truth's [[Forerunner Dreadnought]]. The airstrike was insufficient to destroy the ancient Keyship, and the activated artifact formed an enormous [[slipspace portal]] through which Truth and the Covenant fleet retreated. Before Lord Hood could consolidate the scattered human resistance, a [[Indulgence of Conviction|Flood-infested Covenant cruiser]] transitioned out of Slipspace and crashed into the city, infesting a significant area in and around Voi.<ref name="TheStorm">'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Storm]]''</ref> | Opening a hole in the Covenant anti-air defenses, [[Terrence Hood|Lord Hood]]'s remaining ships assaulted the Prophet of Truth's [[Anodyne Spirit|Forerunner Dreadnought]].

The Arbiter and the Master Chief proceeded to cauterize the local area of the Flood, battling their way to the cruiser to overload the crashed ship's engines and destroy the source of the infestation. They made their way through the same warehouse they fought Covenant, only to bear witness to the Flood's reanimation of various corpses, both UNSC and Covenant, and carved a swath through the nightmarish outbreak. They were aided by a handful of surviving Marines before they came a cross a [[Suicidal Marine|lone marine]] who was deeply traumatized by his encounter with the Flood, claiming he "helped" his squad by killing them. | The Arbiter and the Master Chief proceeded to cauterize the local area of the Flood, battling their way to the cruiser to overload the crashed ship's engines and destroy the source of the infestation.
