Flood Already Released On Delta Halo - Halo 2
Title for Reference.
So I was talking with a fellow member about the whole Flood conflict, both with Ancient Humanity and the Forerunners and how the Flood/Precursors returning to the Galaxy may be the ancient evil promoted for the Reclaimer Trilogy. Anyways, the convo eventually lead to the Flood on the Halo's and to the Flood that were already released and fighting the Sentinels within the Sentinel Wall.
I think I heard something about this being explained or hinted towards somewhere, but I can't remember. Does anyone know how exactly the Flood were already fighting the Sentinels on Delta Halo? Where did the mass come from to sustain them on the ring?
Thanks.
Discuss.

I always like thinking that there was just a large amount of Infection forms from 2401's inability to fully quarantine the Flood, and that the Covies and Humans sent a force that was not expecting a Flood force of that mass and simply got assimilated. You gotta remember that that the Humans already got a small force past the wall in the first place, which is why they were in front of Thel anyway, and that after the shield went down, both the Humans and the Covenant could've easily sent for some heavy ordinance without being aware of the gigantic Flood force awaiting them. And BOTH of them really wanted the Index. We saw a lot of heavy ordinance such as tanks and rockets being assimilated and used by the Flood in Quarantine Zone. Aside from reports from Regret during the catastrophe in attempting to get that Forerunner fleet in Halo Wars and the great Battle of Installation 04, there was pretty scarce intel on the Flood. I doubt any side knew what was gonna happen or was properly prepared to combat it.
