HALO has risk education teams working in the area to keep people as safe as possible. The mines posed a serious risk to them before the breaching of the dam, but the now the situation is even more difficult. Jasmine Dann, Regional Manager for HALO said: 'After the liberation of Mykolaiv oblast, people returned to the riverbanks to cultivate their crops and graze their livestock. The mines were laid at the lowest points of the river to prevent troops from crossing in vehicles while the area was under occupation. The HALO Trust has been surveying and clearing mines along the Inhulets River, a tributary of the Dnipro, since earlier this year. We will not know the exact number of displaced landmines until the waters subside, but it will require careful and rigorous mapping and clearance as soon as conditions allow.’ Mike Newton, Head of HALO Ukraine said: ‘This is a humanitarian and ecological catastrophe and the presence of enormous quantities of landmines magnifies the risk to civilians in the area.
TYPES OF FLOOD HALO TORRENT
The torrent of water that swept through the lower Dnipro River was powerful enough to dislodge landmines and in some cases cause 10kg anti-vehicle mines to detonate. This makes them much easier to pick off making Graveminds a highly prized target to any Commander.Brovary, Kyiv: The HALO Trust is urging civilians in the areas flooded by the Nova Kakhovka dam to remain extra vigilant of landmines, as it confirmed it has been forced to suspend clearance work on seven minefields flooded by the collapse of the dam last Tuesday. Graveminds are particularly hard to put down as they’re highly intelligent to the point of omniscience and they’re always heavily defended, but without one in control, The Flood quickly descends into a mindless and feral state. They use a distributed intelligence formed from all of the other Flood on the planet, creating a hive mind system that lets them control all of their lesser brethren as well as see and know everything within their sphere of influence. These sentient masses of flesh formed from thousands and thousands of corpses are the penultimate evolved forms of The Flood and they are truly the most dangerous.

Unfortunately rendering themselves into this state drove most of them insane and those unlucky enough to inhale or accidentally consume this dust would suffer from rampant disease and mutation as the psychotic minds of The Precursors took over and thus over time this ancient race was reborn as The Flood.įor example, Marines and Covenant troops still use their original weaponry, whilst larger creatures have extra muscle, limbs, and armored carapaces to charge in, withstand heavy gunfire and give anyone a good whack. However, some of The Precursors had managed to survive by either hiding away and entering hibernation or in most cases, reducing themselves to a cloud of fine dust in order to survive and bide their time. They originally created The Forerunners, who eventually grew too prideful and rose up against them, and after a gigantic civil war between the two, The Precursors were seemingly defeated and erased from the universe forever. They believed in spreading life wherever they went and that living beings were essential for the galaxy to prosper. These Lovecraftian monstrosities were creatures of great power that could cross galaxies in seconds and created life on countless planets. Not a lot was known about The Flood's origins at first but in the Halo books Cryptum, Primordium, and through some terminals in Halo 3 it was discovered that they were once an ancient race known as The Precursors.
