Later on, he was part of [[Fireteam Charlie]], which was led by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]] and Sergeant Johnson, to find a supposed Covenant weapons cache that a captured [[Sangheili]], [['Qualomee]], had uncovered and disclosed to them in passing <ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', page 174</ref>.

Instead, the so-called "cache" turned out to be a [[Flood Containment Facility]]. Fireteam Charlie was immediately ambushed and, save for Sergeant Johnson, was assimilated into the Flood and turned into [[Combat Forms]]. Though Mendoza held off the [[Infection Forms]] for a while, unlike his comrades, he was also later assimilated into a Combat Form. Shortly before he was infected, he attempted to flee the area, against Keyes' and Johnson's orders.

A few hours after infection, John-117 found Mendoza in the structure and attempted to communicate with the Marine, unknown that his consciousness was already taken over by the Infection Form. Mendoza attacked the Spartan and took three entire [[8-gauge shotgun shells]] from Master Chief's [[Shotgun#M90 Mk I|Shotgun]], with the results both "spectacular and disgusting". As the corpse-like horror came apart, the Spartan saw that one of the small, spherical creatures had taken up residence inside the Marine's chest cavity and seemed to have extended its tentacles into other parts of what used to be Mendoza's body <ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', page 224</ref>.
