There was a Proto-Gravemind or Flood "Brain Form" present on the level Keyes. I assume that the Gravemind from Halo 2 was alive during that time. Just not active in that point of the storyline.
There was also a Miniature "Brain Form" on the level High Charity in Halo 2. It is what flew the Pelican into the platform. This leads people to conclude that "Brain Forms" are used to pilot ships, if nothing else.That is a surprisingly good point. I had always thought that the combat forms had piloted the Pelican, which is why it crashed, but your explanation may well be the correct one. It also explains why the Proto-Gravemind was forming in the control room, so it could pilot the ship, without having to move around. One thing: if we are taking into account the Halo canon books, when the Marines took over T & R, it was no longer there, but had moved elsewhere in the ship, and posed an immense danger, according to Jenkins(a Marine partially infected by the Flood). If this is true, then it would have to be able to move, which would be quite a feat for a huge blob bigger than the doors.
