The Gravemind, with its newly found space station and billions of Flood forms, planned to attack Earth, the UNSC/Covenant separatist stronghold, and infest it with Flood. However, upon arrival at the [[Sol system]] it found a [[Portal at Voi|Forerunner Portal]] which led from Earth to [[Installation 00]]: the Ark, a center from which all the [[Halo Array|Halo installations]] could be simultaneously and remotely fired. Sensing that the Ark was the greater threat, the Gravemind slipped High Charity straight to the Ark via a desperate ''ad hoc'' transit measure,<ref name="Bulletin924">[https://blogs.halowaypoint.com/en-us/blogs/headlines/posts/the-halo-bulletin-9-24-14 '''Halo Waypoint''' - The Halo Bulletin: 9.24.14'']</ref> sparing Earth by committing all its forces to the Ark. High Charity emerged in the fray of the [[Battle of Installation 00]], with parts of it crashing into the [[Fleet of Retribution|Sangheili]] [[assault carrier]] ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'', crippling it. High Charity then crashed onto Installation 00's surface due to damage from the Slipspace transition.<ref name="Bulletin924"/> While Flood exited and spread across the Ark, infesting the [[Citadel]], large amounts of Flood still took residence within the crashed hulk. | The Gravemind, with its newly found space station and billions of Flood forms, planned to attack Earth, the UNSC/Covenant separatist stronghold, and infest it with Flood.

On the Ark, however, its [[Foundry]] was manufacturing a new Halo installation to replace the lost [[Installation 04]] which was destroyed earlier on in the [[2552|year]]. The Covenant separatist/UNSC alliance realized that in order to contain the Flood outbreak on Installation 00 spread by the crashed High Charity, they needed to flee and then activate the Halo, sterilizing the Flood on the Ark. However, Cortana, the lost UNSC artificial intelligence still within High Charity, was the sole owner of the [[Index]] from the first Installation 04 which was necessary to fire the Halo installation. While [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery J. Johnson]] and the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] organized a systematic Separatist/UNSC withdrawal from Installation 00, John-117 ventured into the crashed High Charity via [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee]] fighter to rescue Cortana, and also secure the Index to fire the incomplete [[Installation 08|Installation 04 replacement]] being built on the Ark. | On the Ark, however, its [[Foundry (location)|Foundry]] was manufacturing a new Halo installation to replace the lost [[Installation 04]] which was destroyed earlier on in the [[2552|year]].
