"The light. It's beautiful. It calls to me, promising eternal life. We will be united under one conscious, one goal. We will be eternally hungry, and we will feed."--Adrian Sipes after being infected with the Flood in Sector Alpha in Morskoy Station"He had no eyes. Hell, he didn't even look human at all. All human features were gone. The only reason I knew it was Sipes was that it began to talk in his voice. It told us to follow the light."--Alan Romero to ONIAdrian Sipes was the former advisor and head engineer of Sector Alpha in Morskoy Station. Being so close to The Gate, he was quickly driven to insanity and converted into a flood searcher. He was killed when Sector Alpha was completely flooded by a detonation.

==== Arrival of the Flood ====
The flood would arrive through the exploration shuttle known as the Wader. It had brought a strange artifact known as The Gate, an eight-foot tall gate that was located four thousand feet deeper than the facility. The Gate produced flood spores, which quickly infected many. With the entire Alpha Section under lockdown, Sipes was quarantined to his office. He would lose his sanity and eventually become infected by the flood after entering it's research chamber.
He became a heavily mutated flood form known as the wanderer, which was not based on combat or spreading the infection. Rather, they would deliver corpses to the newly forming proto-gravemind. John Morris and Alan Romero would find him to reveal that he had torn his eyes out, rendering him blind. Realizing that he was the only one to hold the abort codes to the remote explosives that had been activated by staff. 
Sipes would die alongside all other flood forms and proto-gravemind.
