Re: First contact between the Flood and Forerunner
Posted By: Rosco-128	Date: 4/4/08 3:41 a.m.
In Response To: First contact between the Flood and Forerunners ([AMS] GreyThor) : For whatever reason I can't really get to sleep, so I was thinking. And so I : started thinking about the levels in the Halo games that the Master Chief : experiences the Flood on, specifically, High Charity. At the end of Halo : 2, you witness High Charity becoming a Flood haven, and in Halo 3 you see : its complete transformation into more or less a Flood hive. : I played Homeworld: Cataclysm and I remember that storyline, where you run : into some derelict probe with a biological oddity on board. It's a common : theme in sci-fi literature too - specifically, Christopher Rowley's The : Vang. : I think the Flood-Forerunner first contact was the same thing. The : Forerunners in the Milky Way found some sort of vessel of extra-galactic : origin and somehow were overpowered by the Flood that were in hibernation. : It'd fit the common sci-fi theme that I mentioned, and for whatever : reason, the Flood repurposed Forerunner technology (ie: ships) to : spreading across their worlds as the parasite they are. My theory is that once the gravemind in the Flood's original galaxy completely took it over, It packed flood forms into ships, put them into hybernation and fired them off in the general direction of the nearest galaxies, to drift untill they encountered more sentient life whatever the case, There's still a whole galaxy full of flood out there. That is, unless those flood have evolved out of their parasitic existance (or just become even worse). : But what I really want to know, if Bungie has even thought about it, is what : happened at that first contact like we see between the Covenant and : Humanity on Harvest? What sort of accident spawned off this 300 year : struggle that resulted in the Halo and Ark construction and firing? Was it : some derelict vessel that a Forerunner ship encountered or did the Flood : suddenly appear with a show of force? You need to read Contact Harvest
