Upon landing, the entire team disembarked, weapons drawn and ready. They found [[Grunt]] and [[Engineer]] blood everywhere and human footprints. The slaughter of Engineers led the team to believe that the humans were not responsible as they were never as barbaric. | Upon landing, the entire team disembarked, weapons drawn and ready.

The team prepared to flank the target, realizing it was some sort of parasite. More creatures, smaller ones, start to close in. Vadumee realizes it was not a human attack and the team started to open fire on the hostile creatures. | ||
Fighting the strange parasites, many Grunts fell and so did some Elites as the team made their way to the bridge. They come under fire as the creatures start to use human weapons. The team makes it to the bridge, not letting up against the enemy forces. When they finally make it to the bridge, the Commander orders that the bridge be locked down, that the fleet be warned, and the ship's self-destruct set. However, the command codes were overridden by the Legate who, to their surprise, was still alive. | Fighting the strange parasites, many Grunts fell and so did some Elites as the team made their way to the bridge.

The Commander believed that the best course of action was to escape the ship and set the ship's course to the sun in the system. However, the Legate believed the ship can be destroyed remotely, putting his life ahead of the Covenant's safety and security. The Commander then beats the Legate for putting his safety ahead of the Covenant's and initiated his plan, believing that having the Succor destroyed remotely would take time which they did not have. | The Commander believed that the best course of action was to escape the ship and set the ship's course to the sun in the system.

The Commander's group battled masses of Flood forces as they moved for engineering. Two of the Elites were killed in the battle. The remaining Elite was injured and infected. The Commander euthanised him, cutting him down the middle with his energy sword, and continued to Engineering. | ||
There, the Commander did his work. On the view screen, the Prophet, who had been infected, tells the commander that his team had joined the Flood and that there was no way to stop them. The Commander to his surprise found the infected sub-commander Kusovai standing in the doorway. They dueled, Kusovai cutting off Vadumee's left mandibles.

''The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor'' has fueled rumors concerning equipment in [[Halo 3]].

Most notably, the [[energy sword]] is [[dual wield]]ed, something many fans have called for since they first got their hands on the sword in [[Halo 2]]. The animation of an Elite killing a Brute in the [[Et Tu Brute]] video would seem to confirm that was is a strong possibility (playable or otherwise) for Halo 3. However, once the game was released, it was discovered that there was, in fact, no such feature. | ||
The intricate duels with the energy swords have lead some to speculate that the energy sword may have a parrying ability in Halo 3. No significant information has been revealed elsewhere to support this, though the ability to parry could account for some of the often questioned advantage to dual wielding energy swords. This rumor, however, is true, and when two sword lunges are performed simultaneously, an energy discharge occurs between the swords, both combatants lose 50% of their maximum shield energy, (although you cannot die from this, only lose shield energy) and the combatants have another chance to lunge. This also happens when one person melee attacks, except the melee attacker recovers faster, and therefore can lunge again before their opponent can. | The intricate duels with the energy swords have lead some to speculate that the energy sword may have a parrying ability in Halo 3.

The use of the [[Elite Arm Shield]] in the ''Infinite Succor'' is quite unusual, as it is an item that had not been seen since the pre-halo videos. That it would suddenly surface in the [[Halo Graphic Novel]] has been cited as evidence that the Elite Arm Shield may be returning in one form or another. This equipment item does not exist. | The use of the [[Elite Arm Shield]] in the ''Infinite Succor'' is quite unusual, as it is an item that had not been seen since the pre-halo videos.
