343 GS, when explaining the function of the Haloes to MC in Two Betrayals( I believe) he says that it wipes out all life with sufficient biomass to sustain the Flood. Now, he also says that once this one fires, the rest will follow. So that means, all the rest have flood too. Because then it would be a fool proof system for not allowing the flood to escape. Of course, the flood could have encountered different species that the collective of the Covenant and us, so they might look different, but they still will be the flood. If the flood escapes from one Halo, they can easily pick up their mates from the other Haloes and take over the galaxy because of the SlipSpace travel.
I realize this thought is extremely rough, so I hope I could've triggered some brain spasm in someone with a mental capacity greater than mine who can think this through more thoroughly.
Cheers.
