Guys im not sure but there could be the flood inside cause the fact that there was a gravemind around when the spartans where first introduced and it got killed by an halo ring, and the plannet Reach could of been destroyed by that halo ring at the exacat same time or something, but comeon i dont think the spartans got killed by the elites or something cause master cheif is basically the weakest of the spartans considiring his armour also imagine it master cheif killed dozens of elites an hunters if their dozens of spartans than it would be an invincable team wouldnt it, grave mind has some crap this for sure dudes, flood sucks!
Um.. Reach was glassed by the Covenant not by the halo rings and I bet you the flood would have Reached the CSS-Class cruiser but there was no trace of flood in the novel so therefore possibly no Flood.
