''The ground shakes as a giant horde of Pod Infectors and other Flood forms rush out of High Charity, and the infected Jiralhanae roars.

''Voridus defends himself against Pod Infectors and punches a Flood gaunt form, stomping on it. He then fires one of his weapon at a Flood form that has caught a [[Jiralhanae Warlord]], rescuing him.

However a Flood gaunt form swiftly catches his head and pulls him backwards, attempting to take him down.''

''Another Flood gaunt form rolls in behind Voridus and grabs his arm while other form grabs his other arm. Voridus watches his fellow Jiralhanae struggling and determined not to be turned into one of them, switches his blade to the back and stabs it, throws the other one to the ground, and stomps it. He then quickly slashes another Flood gaunt form while others rolls around, and his units struggle against the Flood. However, most of the Flood swarm ignore the Voridus' unit and as run past them, out of High Charity.''
