I'm wondering, because it years and years before reach fell, and the flood wasnt discovered until The flood. It seems as if the flood was even mentioned before H1, Cortana, the smartest AI in the UNSC, would know about it.
We knew since IRIS that ONI somehow know of the flood prior to installation 5 (it was in a update i still have yet to find).
The SoF found the flood, made it back years later and where detained by ONI. thus we have a good side story that doesn't mess up a single thing.
Problem with the 'making it back'.
A: That ship had several thousand people. You can't 'detain' that many.
B: There was NO FTL drive on the ship. It'd take an incredibly long time to get back to ANY other planet.
C: If it was true, then Cortana and Halsey could have easily found out, both being in ONI and looking through their files.
A: Learn what the SoF knows, then fire a couple of Archer missiles into the ship's engines and other critical systems. Fits well into ONI's cloak and dagger modus operandi.
B: That's a good point. What if ONI found it, or some other civilian vessel?
C: Paper files. Seems a bit low tech, but still...
