By that time, Covenant Separatist resistance had completely shattered on ''High Charity''. There were none to little Elites nor Hunters remaining, and only several scattered Grunts. The Loyalists, however, retained a large number of Brutes, Jackals, and Drones. Despite the lack of a Separatist ground force, they were still very much present in space, where the Covenant fleets over ''High Charity'' had splintered in allegiances, with Elite and Brute ships actively engaging and destroying each other<ref>''[[Halo 2]]'', ''[[High Charity (Level)]]''</ref>.

While Truth was taking a Phantom to the Forerunner Ship, Cortana detected an energy conduit to the ship located in the Mausoleum Tower ahead of SPARTAN-117's position. However, ''High Charity'' had become horribly twisted within minutes: an insidious Flood presence spread surprisingly quickly through the planetoid, disrupting power, creating a dark, gloomy atmosphere, spreading Flood spores into the air, and sending Flood forms all across the city-space, where the Flood fought to take ''High Charity'' from the remaining Covenant Loyalist forces.  
While Truth was taking a Phantom to the Forerunner Ship, Cortana detected an energy conduit to the ship located in the Mausoleum Tower ahead of SPARTAN-117's position. However, ''High Charity'' had become horribly twisted within minutes: an insidious Flood presence spread surprisingly quickly through the planetoid, disrupting power, creating a dark, gloomy atmosphere, spreading Flood spores into the air, covering large parts of ''High Charity'' in Flood biomass, and sending Flood forms all across the city-space, where the Flood fought to take ''High Charity'' from the remaining Covenant Loyalist forces.  


SPARTAN-117 entered the Mausoleum Tower from the Phantom landing pads, battling through unlit, tight corridor ways where numerous Flood combat forms engaged outnumbered Brutes and Jackals, and strange Flood biological growths began to sediment against the walls. Meanwhile, the Prophet of Truth sent broadcasts throughout the city, urging the remaining Loyalists that the Covenant would prevail against the Flood while the Gravemind manipulated the loudspeakers, proclaiming that the Flood would infest ''High Charity'' and send the Covenant to their graves. SPARTAN-117 cut across the massive interior of the Mausoleum Tower, moving to the north face of the tower and making his way along a peripheral convoluted corridor to the eastern end of the tower, where he took a Gravity Lift to access the Inner Sanctum: the personal quarters of the Hierarchs.
