Wallace Jenkins: Difference between revisions

Jenkins' combat form followed a group of [[Flood]] to the surface where they attacked a group of [[Marines]] under command of [[First Lieutenant]], [[Melissa McKay]]. Without complete control over his body, Jenkins, who was desperate to end his own life, attempted to get killed while assaulting the Lieutenant, but instead he was captured by the [[ODSTs]], who took him prisoner. [[Major]] [[Antonio Silva]] tries to interrogate him. While being interrogated, the [[infection form]] inside of Jenkins attempts to attack its interrogators by extending a tentacle ''through'' Jenkins' hand, snapping the bones and veins. As Jenkins describes it, it was a "living hell". However, it is knocked unconscious by the pain. This gives Jenkins the chance to  reveal the imminent threat of the Flood beneath the base.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 275/276</ref>. Jenkins does this by motioning to the shoe of a marine. Lieutenant McKay correctly interprets this and orders a squad to exterminate them. He is later taken to the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' while the [[Marines]] assault the ship. Jenkins, knowing that Silva plans to take the ship home to [[Earth]], overwhelms the Infection form inside him and tries to destroy the ship, because he knows that there are more [[Flood]] present aboard it and that they would inevitably escape and destroy [[Earth]]. He fails to do so, but [[Lieutenant McKay]], seeing the truth as well, destroys the vessel for him. The destruction then takes his life, mercifully ending his suffering. <ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 332</ref> Before he died, he mouthed the words 'Thank you' to the lieutenant.
