Anders' Signal

Anders' Signal is the eighth level of the real-time strategy game, Halo Wars. It is the first level in the Halo Wars campaign to feature the Flood. After the UNSC Spirit of Fire finishes Slipspace travel to pursue a Covenant ship holding Professor Anders, they enter into orbit around an unknown planet, and as Captain Cutter orders Sergeant John Forge to the surface, they encounter units of new Covenant species, the Brutes. As Sergeant Forge's Elephant crew kills all of the Brutes, they are assisted by Spartan Red Team. Two other Elephant crews on the surface, ECHO and INDIA, however, reported attacks from unknown hostiles, before all contact from them was lost. As Sergeant Forge's units and Spartan Red Team investigate, they eventually encounter the Flood, and are forced to destroy and clear any Flood forms surrounding the two other Elephants. Then they are ordered to bring all the three deployed Elephants back to a nearby firebase for evacuation.

Trivia

 * If one fails to destroy an Infection Form, it will easily infect Marines and Flamethrower units and transform them into Flood Combat Forms. Thus it is advised to complete the mission using vehicle units like the Scorpion tanks and Warthogs, any surviving Infantry units should be advised to stay away from the Flood at all costs.
 * The planet this level takes place on is presumambly Dosiac, the homeworld of the Brutes, as this is the first level Brutes are encountered in Campaign.
