Re: More Flood Biology | |

In Response To: More Flood Biology (Slith) Now this has got me thinking about what the Flood can infect.
How fast do the synapses in a brain break down after death? (For instance if they stopped getting O2) If we can answer this, we will know how long a body can be 'dead' before it is no longer a viable form for movement. You see, the Flood are a completely alien lifeform, there is no way in hell they'd know how to control another alien's body. Unless they infect the victim's brain and, more importantly, it's movement control center. In Humans this is the Cerebellum. So, Flood which infect a dead body will be pretty much benign. They will have no ability to move the body, and will only be able to convert it into a Flood mass. These masses probably grow into incubators for Infection Forms (Not like the ones that walk around.) Vectors that are infected while alive however, are much more dangerous. The Flood form now has the host's knowledge, and can move itself around. This allows it to incapacitate other vectors and consume them as well.
