In Response To: Re: bwhahahahahahaha (selmack)

: I believe you answered your own question with your statement below, the
: reason the flood was kept alive was so that they could be studied, I mean
: they would half to come from somewhere and if they came into existence
: then they must be able to survive on that homeworld and of course they
: would go into hibernation until somthing came along that they could eat.
: Then of course what makes no sense is killing everyone in the galaxy to
: just put the flood into hibernation, since even if some sort of actions
: were taken to bring back life then the flood would awake then continue
: their rampage as soon as suitable hosts evolved on the worlds that they
: were on but at that point the species would not be advanced enough to make
: the trip to a halo or probably even know of them(or if life was only
: seeded on non-infected worlds and those species did discover space flight
: they may not know that they were supposed to activate the halos when the
: flood got released IE the Covenant)

take a look at what your saying. if the floods "survial" depended on being preserved on the rings then there would be no need to study them.

look at it like this. the forerunner encounter the flood. the flood begin spreading rapidly, the forerunner try everything to stop the flood but nothing is proving effective. the flood can be kill with weapons, but they spread too fast to be controled by that means. inorder to defeat the flood they needed to stop its spread. so they kill all life in the galaxy and put a halt to the floods advance. the flood would still surive and go into hiberantion so that is why after the rings are actiated, sentials are sent out to collect a few samples and destory the rest. the reason why they need to collect samples is two reasons.
1)very little was known about the flood to effectively deal with them,
2) the orign of where the flood came from is unknown meaning that the threat of it still exists, which is why they begin research so that if the flood return, they will have a better solution to defeating the flood that doesn't require killing all life just to impend them.

if the floods surival depended on being collected then the forerunner could have just ended the threat once and forall by not collecting it. their is no other reason to researching it if the threat could be destoryed cause the forerunner would not have anything to gain from it, remember they're dead(execpt for a few surviors who still would gain nothing) all those theroys about extracting memories and stuff no longer work cause they require that the forerunner civilition still be around to benifit from it.

bottom line, if the flood can hibernate then their "surival" did not depend on being preserved on the rings.
