: -Usul

I was thinking, as soon as I finished reading this. Two things. First off, that the flood individually (combat, infection and carrier) aren't sentient in and of themselves, which is how the Halo blast discriminates. Then that got me thinking that... wait a minute. The Gravemind is sentient! Now, if the only characteristic necessary to succumb to the Halo blast is sentience, then the Flood stand to lose a lot as well, b/c anything Gravemind or higher would die as well.
