In this far-flung corner of the universe floats a magnificently massive, artificial ringworld. But their destination brings them to an ancient mystery and an even greater struggle. Having barely escaped the final battle for Reach against the vast alien alliance known as the Covenant, the crew of the Pillar of Autumn, including Spartan John-117-the Master Chief-and his AI companion Cortana, is forced to make a desperate escape into slipspace. This sort of storyline would likely be used as a climactic moment near the end of a season, used to end on a devastating note and leave fans wondering what the Flood might do in the Silver Timeline.The bestselling adaptation of the iconic video game Halo: Combat Evolved featuring the Master Chief-part of the expanded universe based on the award-winning video game series!Ģ552.
#Halo the flood free
The Flood are a galaxy-changing introduction to the Halo world, an ancient plague set free upon an unprepared and war-torn galaxy. It’s possible the Halo show speeds up its pacing, but with more than four episodes dedicated to just unlocking the coordinates of the Halo rings it would be a sudden change in tempo.

However, as the first season will likely involve Master Chief arriving on Halo Installation 04, they seem like a definite inclusion for further seasons. For this reason, the Flood probably won’t be appearing in the first season of the Halo show. At this point in the first season, there isn’t really time left to handle the glassing of Reach, retreat to the Halo installation, and the release of the Flood back into the galaxy. The fall of Reach is a disastrous moment for humanity, and such a massive sequence would likely require many episodes of content. #FictionFriday /dlfBvKOFeA- Halo October 25, 2019 The Flood were the reason the Forerunners created and ultimately activated Halo, wiping out nearly all sentient life in the galaxy to halt their advance. The Flood are an omni-parasitic species and the galaxy’s greatest threat to biodiversity. Several events would have to happen in order for this to translate to the Halo show. The Pillar of Autumn is then boarded by the Covenant, and crashes into the Halo ring, triggering the events of the first Halo game. In the Halo games, the ring is discovered when the UNSC Pillar of Autumn jumps to the ring while fleeing the fall of UNSC bastion world Reach. If the Halo show is taking as much inspiration for the Flood from the games as it is elsewhere, this revelation will likely lead to the release of the iconic Halo enemy. Much of the Halo show’s first season has been dedicated to following Master Chief and the UNSC beginning the process of discovery of the Halo rings. This leads to the reintroduction of the Flood to the galaxy and the emergence of a threat more powerful than both the Covenant and the UNSC. The Flood are then released again when the Covenant accidentally releases the Flood from Installation 04, the first Halo ring in the first Halo game. The Forerunners gather genetic samples from all across the galaxy before being repopulated into the galaxy by the Forerunners with the parasitic threat at bay. The Forerunners create the Ark and the Halo rings, weapons capable of wiping all life from the galaxy in an attempt to eradicate the Flood. After revealing that the Halo rings are used to hold the ancient “Endless” race, also known as Precursors, Halo Infinite seems set to bring back this Flood-fighting AI in story DLC.
