In Response To: Re: Ahah, but . . . (Cain)

: Have you seen how slowly he moves? Plants move slowly too. That brings me to
: a question. What are flood made of anyway?

Tiberium!?

Hmmm. They seem to be made of "yellow stuff", I guess that leaves stuff like calcium and sulfur. However, how could it achieve that nice yellow crusty look in an ?hour? (how long does it take for flood to invade and reinvigorate recently dead corpses?. Calcium and sulfur arn't all that abundant but if we take in consideration the ample amount of carbon present in air and in the human body itself it could "create" this hard, crusty, shell. What I wonder most about is if the Flood combat forms have to feed or drink at all. Considering that the laws of thermodynamics appear to exist in the Halo universe; the Flood must either eat and drink or...fall apart (which is probably true) within 24 hours. But, back to the whole plants thing, I think the deposits of "Flood Crust" on the board High Charity (it's embedded in the walls) indicates that the Flood may be leeching metals from High Charity's walls in order to aid in the growth of the Gravemind. The Flood might also use the C02 present in air to create structural material (like cellulose I guess..), plants use CO2 in this manner, but the Flood, if they can do turn CO2 into structural materials, can do it much faster than any plant.
