Despite firing nearly a dozen MAC slugs at Truth's ship, the Dreadnought remained unharmed. Immediately afterward, a slipspace portal was activated and [[Truth's fleet]] passed through it. Unbeknownst to the UNSC, who assumed that the excavated complex was itself the Ark, the real Ark, [[Installation 00]], lay beyond the portal.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Storm (level)|The Storm]]''</ref>

The [[Flood]] arrived in Voi shortly after the opening of the slipspace portal; the parasite was pursued by the [[Swords of Sanghelios|Sangheili]] [[Fleet of Retribution]], led by the [[assault carrier]] ''[[Shadow of Intent]]''. The Flood threat forced the UNSC into an alliance with the [[Covenant separatists|Sangheili-led forces]], commanded by [[Shipmaster]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]]. After the infection had been cleansed, the Sangheili and UNSC viewed a message from Cortana, warning them that the Gravemind itself was coming to Earth.  They further learned that there was a solution to the Flood on the other side of the Portal - one that did not require firing the remaining Halos.

'Vadum insisted that Elites and humans both go through the Portal to deal with Truth and the Flood once and for all.  Though skeptical, Lord Hood agreed to commit some forces to the mission. To this end, the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' joined the Fleet of Retribution; elements of the [[11th Marine Force Reconnaissance/ODST]] were also tasked with gathering intelligence on whatever lay beyond the portal. Hood gave [[Miranda Keyes|Commander Miranda Keyes]] command of ''Forward Unto Dawn'' while he remained behind to coordinate Earth's remaining defenses; the ship was docked inside ''Shadow of Intent'''s massive hangar bay and the task force set off through the portal.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[Floodgate]]''</ref>
