Remember, Keyes was launching an assault through the QZ concurrently with the Arbiter's attack. On the gondola ride, you can even see In Amber Clad sitting low in the sky.

It wasn't exactly in a secure location, and there were human aircraft bumbling about all over the place.

I'd guess the flood simply hijacked some hardware.


Theoretically it could be also some teleportation-grid-related ninja stuff.

Yeah, they got on in QZ because when the IAC goes through slip-space and winds up on Gravemind the Flood are already on board.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

I'm surprised that the UNSC didn't have an emergency plan to deal with the flood if they ever got on board their ships.

The spirit of fire was the first ship to encounter the flood, and MC had only just told them about the flood (as spirit of fire was destroyed). Regrets attack stopped any plan to counter the flood.

Anyone know why the IAC was just hoovering at the QZ Gondola ride. There must have been a reason given for them to just sit there.

It was meant to be bombarding the flood from above, and to get vechiles and troops down faster. Or it may just be because the engine went down and thats where it stopped.

I just realized Sarge jumped onto the Gondola with Miranda so the IAC was waiting for them to get back.

Then Sarge and Miranda was taken to The Great Journey by Tartarus and the Flood took IAC to High Charity and crashed it.
