The Arbiter found [[Miranda Keyes]] and [[Sergeant Johnson]] within the Index Chamber having retrieved the Index seconds before his arrival. Sergeant Johnson was ready, armed with a [[BR55 Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]], along with Miranda Keyes who was reaching for the Index holding on to one of the [[Gravemind]]'s tentacles. Miranda secured the Index and drew two [[M7 Caseless Submachine Gun|SMGs]]. Johnson called for his marines, but received no answer and armed his weapon. The Arbiter proved his worth as a warrior once again, incapacitating both Johnson and Keyes in a matter of moments.

The Flood succeeded in not only escaping Installation 05 but gained the means to spread to other worlds via infestation of any ships that came. The UNSC forces, however, failed to recover the Index and were almost completely killed or assimilated into the flood. | ||
