Minister of Etiology: Difference between revisions

Here they met the [[San'Shyuum|Prophet]] Legate, Minister of Etiology who revealed to them that he had disabled the ship's primary controls, including the [[self-destruct]] sequence to prevent the Flood from getting at the systems. The Minister ordered the entire group medically scanned before he would meet with them, due to the situation of Flood outbreak aboard the ship and refused to unlock the self-destruct because it posed too much risk that if the team was infected, they could then hack into the other primary systems.<ref name="hgn"/>

The group met with the Legate in a secret location on the ship, where a plan was devised to get everyone off of the ship and have the ship vaporized by the nearby Covenant fleet. During this time it also became apparent that the [[Flood]] had gained the access codes to ''Infinite Succor'' through one of the infected [[Sangheili]] from [[Rtas 'Vadum|'Vadumee]]'s party. As the [[Flood]] continued to spread throughout the ship, they reached the bridge and engineering room and begun fortifying the engineering room. The Flood were attempting a [[slipspace]] jump to escape [[Soell system|the system]]. At this time, 'Vadumee realized the Legate was only concerned with his own life, which had been costing the group precious time. In anger, 'Vadumee slammed the Legate into the floor, telling him that their prime concern was the [[Covenant]]'s safety, not his. The Minister was later absorbed by the Flood, becoming part of the growing [[Proto-Gravemind]] in the engine room of the ship. The infected Legate taunted 'Vadumee, before the latter destroyed the ''Infinite Succor'' by sending it on a slipspace vector with the system's star.<ref name="hgn"/>
