Battle of the Quarantine Zone: Difference between revisions

The [[Arbiter]] was sent to the surface of Delta Halo to retrieve the Sacred Icon. The Arbiters main objective was to lower the containment shields, which would allow more Covenant warriors to enter the Quarantined Zone. The shield was deactivated, but this released the Flood to the rest of [[Delta Halo]]. This breach of containment led to the rapid growth in the Flood's numbers as they assimilated both humans, from the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}, and Covenant alike. With new hosts, the Flood gained access to more sophisticated equipment, such as personal weapons and combat vehicles. Despite this new and surprising defense, the Arbiter and his squad of [[SpecOps Elite]]s were able to battle their way trough the countless Flood and Sentinels. After a series of battles the Arbiter regrouped with [[Rtas 'Vadumee]] and followed the Humans with a gondola that was headed towards the Library. Rtas 'Vadumee stayed didn't board the gondola, and he stayed behind to keep the flood away from the gondola. Along the ride, the Arbiter and the squad of SpecOps Elites were attacked by numerous waves of Flood and supported by a brute-controlled Phantom before they turned against the Arbiter.
