A mercenary organization known as the [[Banished]] were inadvertently responsible for a second Flood outbreak around the rubble of the destroyed High Charity. In early [[2559#June|June 2559]], after the loss of the ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'' in the [[Second Ark Conflict]], the [[Jiralhanae]] brothers [[Pavium]] and [[Voridus]] were tasked to salvage the wrecks around High Charity for weapons to use in [[Second Ark Conflict|the conflict]] with the humans of the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}. The Banished leader [[Atriox]], aware of the potential danger of the [[Flood]] having survived in the city, gave specific orders to only scout the shell and not to go inside lest surviving Flood be disturbed. However, [[Voridus]], like many of the Banished, did not take the threat of the Flood seriously, believing it simply be another lie of the [[San'Shyuum|Prophets]]. Ignoring the warnings of both Atriox and his own brother Pavium, Voridus deactivated the Ark's Sentinel defense network and used a [[Banished Scarab]] to burn a hole in the [[containment shield]] around the former Covenant holy city. When Voridus' troops entered the wreckage to salvage it, they were ambushed by thousands of Flood [[infection form]]s lurking within High Charity which were then set loose upon the Ark. With the Sentinel defense network down, the Flood were left unhindered by the Ark's defense systems.<ref name="What Could Go Wrong?">'''[[Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare]]''', campaign level ''[[What Could Go Wrong?]]''</ref>

Pavium quickly assembled a force to rescue his brother, defending against overwhelming Flood forces before finally retreating to meet up with Voridus at a Banished drill site near a Forerunner archive that contained a control terminal for the Sentinel defense network.<ref name="Fighting Retreat">'''[[Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare]]''', campaign level ''[[Fighting Retreat]]''</ref> As the area was honeycombed with fissures filled with unstable explosive power, Pavium managed to use Banished Salvage Drills to start a chain reaction to burn away the majority of the Flood in the area, allowing Voridus to access the archive.<ref name="Light the Fuse">'''[[Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare]]''', campaign level ''[[Light the Fuse]]''</ref> Inside, despite heavy Flood resistance, Voridus and his troops managed to reactivate the Sentinel defense network which began to cleanse the Flood.<ref name="The Archive">'''[[Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare]]''', campaign level ''[[The Archive]]''</ref> However, by this time, the Flood had created a massive [[Proto-Gravemind]] in the area near High Charity that was in danger of becoming a full-fledged [[Gravemind]] while the threat from the Flood forced Atriox to pull back from positions he had established to fight the humans. Voridus, Pavium and Banished forces, with the help of the Ark's defenses, in particular a [[Retriever Sentinel]], managed to kill the Proto-Gravemind before it could become a Gravemind.{{Ref/Reuse|Manifestation}}
