almost sounds like the red dwarf polymorph story

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. : 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? Check the link: The similarities are very similar. A polymorph feed on it's preys emotions. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymorph_%28Red_Dwarf_episode%29
