Despite the fact that SPARTAN-117 had failed to capture the Prophet of Truth before he could depart in his Phantom for the Forerunner Ship, it was still imperative that the SPARTAN chase after him and kill him, as if he marshaled the Covenant fleets to Earth to finish whatever he planned, the already besieged Earth would inevitably fall, despite the UNSC's best efforts.

Just then, a Pelican crashes on the balcony, and some familiar [[Flood Combat Form|creatures]] run out of the ship.


At the 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.
