Re: Ahah, but . . .

In Response To: Ahah, but . . . (Jillybean)

: Gravemind talks about suffering infinity. Now while he's a different form of
: Flood, that does imply that he has a concept of suffering. It could be
: argued that its simply a poetic way of saying he gets bored, but what he
: means is that the Flood will starve with nothing to eat, but they cannot
: die (because they are already dead). Very Pirates of the Caribbean. So in
: essence, starving to death without dying. Sounds painful, at least by our
: understanding of it.

: Gravemind, however, by all appearances - is a big plant. Plants don't feel
: pain (in the traditional sense of the word, they don't have a nervous
: system) so unless he is made of flesh with nerves, how does he know what
: pain is?

: Perhaps through his telepathic connection with the other Flood forms who, by
: virtue of having hosts, do have a central nervous system and would feel
: pain, (if indeed Flood do).

: Make sense?

maybe the flood only take over enough of the nervous system to perform basic tasks like eating, and moving. think about it-if something has the ability to feel pain, then why would they keep running at you when being shot? no matter how big or strong something is, inflict enough pain, and they will run away, or try to hide. i've seen flood take shotty after shotty only to get up and run at me again. unless they're like those freaky people who like pain.??? you might as well ask if they can taste and smell. i think this one is a no-brainer. they dont feel pain, at least not on the level that we do. anything with enough intelligence to repair and fly a spaceship wouldn't keep running at you while being shot if they did indeed feel pain. and they do bear a striking resemblence to zombies, and do they feel pain?
