While during the stalemate the Flood was exponentially growing and readying for an attack, eventually, they assaulted the Forerunner core systems with thousands of Flood-filled supraluminal vessels.

With naval strategies failing, the Forerunners turned to their Halo project: securing other species into the Ark while readying the Halo array for firing. Upon this, two Forerunner units beyond the failing defense line, the [[Primary Pioneer Group]] and [[Advance Survey Team-Alpha]], came across Earth at the edge of the Milky Way galaxy.

The Forerunners saw a unique potential in the human species, creating a "Conservation Measure" for the protection of the human species, shielding them within the shelter of the Ark. | With naval strategies failing, the Forerunners turned to their Halo project: securing other species into the Ark while readying the Halo array for firing.
