Later, he takes [[Pelican]] [[Victor 933]] to what his squad thinks is a [[Halo|Covenant weapons cache]], but turns out to be one of the [[Flood Containment Facilities]]. There, he, [[Captain Keyes]], [[Sergeant Johnson]], [[Private Bisenti]], [[Private Manuel Mendoza]], and others are attacked by the [[Flood]] for the first time in Halo.

He and his entire squad, except [[Johnson]], are turned into [[Combat Forms]]. However, in Jenkins' case, his [[Infection Form]] is weakened from the centuries of containment, and it cannot control him fully.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 176</ref> He watches in terror as he loses control of his mutated body and the Infection Form moves his body around and attacks his mind.

Jenkins' combat form follows a group of [[Flood]] to the surface where they attack a group of [[Marines]] under command of [[First Lieutenant]] [[Melissa McKay]]. Without complete control over his body, Jenkins, who is desperate to end his own life, attempts to get killed while assaulting the Lieutenant, but instead he is captured by the [[ODSTs]], who take him prisoner. [[Major]] [[Antonio Silva]] tries to interrogate him . While being interrogated, the [[infection form]] inside of Jenkins attempts to attack its interrogators by extending a tentacle ''through'' Jenkin's hand, snapping the bones and veins.

While being interrogated, the [[infection form]] inside of Jenkins attempts to attack its interrogators by extending a tentacle ''through'' Jenkin's hand, snapping the bones and veins. As Jenkin describes it, it was "living hell". However, is knocked unconscious by the [[marines]]. This gives Jenkins the chance to reveal the imminent threat of flood beneath the base.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 275/276</ref>. Jenkins does this by motioning to the shoe of a marine. McKay correctly interprets this and orders a squad to exterminate them. He is later taken to the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' while the [[Marines]] assault the ship. Jenkins, knowing that Silva plans to take the ship home to [[Earth]], overwhelms the Infection form inside him and tries to destroy the ship, because he knows that there are more [[Flood]] present aboard it and that they would inevitably escape and destroy [[Earth]]. He fails to do so, but [[Lieutenant McKay]], seeing the truth as well, destroys the vessel for him. The destruction then takes his life, mercifully ending his suffering. <ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 332</ref> Before he died, he mouthed the words 'Thank you' to the lieutenant. | ||
