With the Prophet of Reclimation dead, the Grunts began to repopulate their Species. Eventually, they reached the Billions of Fighters alone. As did the Hunters but only reached the Millions. After the rather unfortunate Flood outbreak from the Covenant Return on Installation Zero Seven, the Monitor of Installation 06 (16807 Harv Flood), sent an army of Billions of Sentinels to Balaho. Unknown to them, the Flood escaped on their planet and spread throughout the entire ring. Soon, Babab realised the Sentinels presence in the area. Preparing the Army, Babab decided to go on the defensive rather than offensive this time.
