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.
It did? I don't know of any human warship that has thousands of people on it.
Cortana doesn't have access to everything, this was shown a few times in TfoR and FS when she was denied access to very very classified info.
As for your other points i suggest you read the Mona Lisa and then tell me and the others who have read the story that they didn't make it back.
And if you read it and still don't think they did, read it until you find a more logical answer.
I don't think the Spirit of Fire was found either. In fact, most people I've seen on here don't hold to anything similar to your theory :/
The events of the Mona Lisa are set after Chief and Cortana have made it back to Earth from Installation 04 (which is where the events of the Mona Lisa take place, btw, not Installation 05). In fact, IIRC, Rebbecca even shows the captain of the Red Horse data acquired by Chief and Cortana about the Flood while on Alpha Halo.
Also, even if ONI had intel on the Flood from the Spirit of Fire, how would they have found Alpha Halo?
