In Response To: Re: Can flood feel pain? (Halofan1991)

: I forgot to add the fact if the brain came ack to life and so did the nervous
: system then the would feel the wounds for the way they died. Depending on
: the wounds would prabably die for stress and extream pain.

My guess is that the Flood DO have sensory input. If they did not, they could not coordinate their muscle movements let alone detect the MC. Now, once the Flood take over a host system, they accumulate a limited knowledge about how to use that host's technology. That means that the parasite is either a very fast learner, or it somehow can access conscious and unconscious information from the host brain. I doubt they feel pain in the traditional sense, like retracting a pricked finger or going into shock if one of their arms gets blown off. But they have to have sensory input to a certain degree to react to the MC's movements a higher brain function to analyze received data and dictate muscle movements to fire a weapon or bitch slap the MC. As to destroying every cell in the body, Im sure that the infection eventually does, but I dont know if universal cell death is as immediate as you say. If every cell in the body died, then the there would be no nervous system to transmit signals from sensory nerves to the CNS and then transmit a response to motor nerves in the PNS. The nerves would have to retain their myeling sheath in order to transmit signals. Therefore, it is most likely that some host organism function remains for the infection to use.
