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 picks up the Legate, and slams him down on the floor 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 took three other Elites to Engineering while Kusovai led the last four Grunts and two Elites, as well as the Legate, to the Phantom. 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'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 euthanized him, cutting him down the middle with his energy swords, 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. As Kusovai mutated further, the Commander launched a lethal blow and then set a course for the sun. The injured Commander, the only survivor of the mission, returned to the Phantom and departed the ''Infinite Succor'' as it headed into the sun. | There, the Commander did his work.

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.

Also, if one looks closely at the Grunts during the Flood battles, you can see that some appear to be carrying MA5B assault rifles. This is odd because the Covenant believe human weapons to be too primitive to be worth using. It could be that since these are Special Operations forces, that they have been trained to use any weapon they could find, unlike the rank and file members of the Covenant. Another possibility is that Grunts do not care what weapon they use. It is also possible due to the Covenant practice of having Grunts study human cultures and | Also, if one looks closely at the Grunts during the Flood battles, you can see that some appear to be carrying MA5B assault rifles.

It is also possible due to the Covenant practice of having Grunts study human cultures and languages that they are less resistant to human technology due to their greater understanding of Human society. | ||
In the story, all three types of Grunts are seen. The normal Grunts, the [[Unggoy#Other_Ranks|Curl-Back Grunts]], and the -unique to this story- [[Unggoy#Other_Ranks|Cylindrical Back Grunts]]. They can be seen in many different scenes putting out a fire, fighting the Flood and accompanying the Elites. | In the story, all three types of Grunts are seen.
