This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.
Major Silva would have most likely sent out a ship wide sweep of every deck, every compartment to get the Flood out of it's hiding hole by hunter-killer teams of ODST's.
If the Chief were able to board the ship along with the other survivors, they would help, but would be clearly against Mj. Silva's decision to take the ship back to Earth, and most likely resulting in conflict between them, with Silva wanting to get back, and the the AI's, Chief and other marines wanting to get get rid of the ship or at least do a thorough sweep.
Of course, I'm not even taking into account the battle group that was above what was left of Halo, and how exactly they would rendezvous.
