Indulgence of Conviction

The Flood ship was a Covenant ship which ferried Elite reinforcements.After the Portal opened,the cruiser exited Slipspace in a heavily damaged state:it had been overrun by Flood.The ship crashed and unleashed grey clouds of spores along with a tidal wave of Flood forms which quickly killed most Marines.It is presumed newly infested as Elite bodies lie unused on the floor.Cortana hid a message on board which is a warning about High Charity on its way to Earth.It is unknown what happens to the ship after the contamination,though it is presumed to be destroyed.
