In Response To: Re: Can flood feel pain? (Jillybean) : I find the question of the Flood feeling pain very interesting. Maybe they
Hmmm... an interesting question. As someone pointed out above, pain is the result of the way certain stimuli are processed. In a human, these stimuli are usually ones that would result in injury. The human body, for all its complexity, is a fairly fragile machine. A flood infected human on the other hand can withstand massive trauma without much ill-effect. For example, the loss of an arm would be quite painful for a human, but appears to be only an inconvenience for the flood. So, given the severity of injury a flood-infected host is able to withstand, what would actually have to happen to register as pain in the flood consciousness. : "Jenkins expected the other to lunge forward again, but having shared in the
Keep in mind, what we see from Jenkins point of view is not the flood, per se, but the human consciousness continuing to process stimuli from its original nerve endings. So the flood consciousness, feeling Jenkins's pain, reacts quickly. What I think we can take from all of this, is that the Flood is quite capable of feeling pain and reacts as expected when pain is experienced. Unfortunately, given what we've seen, there's not much that actually stimulates significant pain in a flood-infected host. |
