| Re: More Flood Biology | |

In Response To: Re: More Flood Biology (punji73) No, no. What I'm saying is that if the host's brain is dead. (Which Jenkins' wasn't.) The Flood cannot control it at all. The neurons in the brain have decayed to the point where they are unusable by the Flood. Thus, that body just turns into a Flood Mass. Used for whatever purposes Flood Masses are used for. If the Brain is still working, the Flood will sift through the information, and use the current Nervous System to control the host body. Think of it this way: If you were suddenly in the body of an Elite, would you be able to move it's seperatable jaw? Humans don't have a seperatable jaw, nothing in our brain would have information about how to control a jaw that splits in half. For all the adaptability the Flood have in them. There's no way they're going to know how to control all aliens, right off the bat. Not to mention the untold number of hormones, and enzymes, and other such things that need to be properly controlled. (Which are probably replaced, eventually, by the Flood Virus with its own systems.) All the information it requires for bodily functions can be found in the Brain and Spine. If those are gone, that information goes with it. | |
