Six years after the battle, on [[2537|January 1, 2537]], the ''Spirit of Fire's'' AI, [[Serina]], awakened ship engineer [[Violeta Maldini]] to perform routine maintenance. The Pod infector came into contact with Maldini, infecting her and turning her into a [[Flood combat form|combat form]]. Suffering from the early stages of [[rampancy]], Serina locked the infected Maldini in a cryo bay, intending to study it. Over the next three days, Serina observed as the combat form eventually changed into a [[Flood carrier form|carrier form]], producing more Pod infectors.
