The team continues onward and enters a hunting preserve that is usually teeming with animals, but nothing registers on their sensors except for one lifeform. The team prepares to flank the target, realizing it is some sort of parasite. Suddenly, large numbers of smaller creatures start to close in. 'Vadumee realizes the attack was not made by humans and the team starts to open fire on the hostile creatures.

Fighting the strange parasites, a pair of Unggoy are killed. Another Unggoy with an armed [[Type-1 ~~Antipersonnel Grenade~~|plasma grenade]] is shot and drops the grenade, killing his partner and a Sangheili as the team makes their way to the bridge. They come under fire as the creatures start to use human weapons. The survivors of the team make 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 had already been overridden by the Legate, who, to their surprise, is still alive.

The Legate informs the Commander that the [[Flood]] spread quickly and that unlocking the command codes would thus compromise the ship. As the Commander argues with the Legate, a Sangheili starts to transform into a [[Flood Combat Form]] and begins attacking the others. The Legate refuses to meet 'Vadumee and unlock the command codes until they have been scanned for infection. The Commander leads his team towards the medical bay so they can be scanned. Before they leave, 'Vadumee orders the Unggoy to destroy the bridge to prevent the Flood from gaining control of the ship.

The team fight their way to the medical bay, detonating a plasma battery to block the enemy forces, as they had gained the command codes from the infected members of the team. They make it to the medical bay and are scanned. The team meets with the Legate, who had been watching as the Flood took over the ship.

The Legate, revealed to be the [[Minister of Etiology]], states that he had the security room installed since the ship had formerly lacked any security room. Luckily, the crew was unaware of it, which is how the Legate managed to remain safe. The Legate tells 'Vadumee that the Flood are mentioned in several religious texts, but that the details are unavailable. He says the Flood had boarded on a dropship, but were not trapped on the ''Succor''. The Flood can infect any dead or living animal tissue, taking control of the creature. As the Flood started to operate with more patrols and with greater intelligence, the Covenant came to realize that the Flood can also retain the knowledge of the hosts they infect. The Legate believes the Flood would use the [[~~Slipstream Space|~~Slipspace]] drive to escape the system, as they had gathered in engineering and infected a [[pilot]]. Using the command codes, they could easily leave the system and spread. The Flood had also been gathering corpses to a [[Proto-Gravemind|central mass]] which is thought to serve as their leader and organizer.

'Vadumee decides that the best course of action is to escape the ship and set the ship's course to the sun in the system. However, the Legate instead suggests that the ship be destroyed remotely. The Commander picks up the Legate and slams him on the floor for putting his own safety before that of the Covenant. He then proceeds to initiate his original plan, believing that having the ''Infinite Succor'' destroyed remotely would take time which they do not have.
