Re: ARR It's Flooding Matey's!

In Response To: Re: ARR It's Flooding Matey's! (mercury)

: I've always had a feeling that the forerunners "created" the flood.

Hmm... just going by what Bungie has released (specifically their saying that the Forerunners "encountered" and "met" the Flood) I think that the Forerunners didn't create them, but did inadvertantly release them on an unsuspecting galaxy.

Think of it like this; a Forerunner ship finds a novel species on a planet (I'm betting gas giant, due to analysis in other threads by a bunch of folks) and takes a sample. One sample Infection Form gets loose, posseses a Forerunner, learns of the interstellar smorgasbord now available, reproduces, and hijacks the ship. This plague ship hops from planet to planet spreading the contagion for a while until the Forerunner figure out what's going on, but by then a simple quarantine isn't possible as there are too many contaminated worlds with ports and ships available.

Then the war begins, but by then it's being waged on a thousand fronts. Yikes.

-- Steve might have nightmares about this scenario.
