In Response To: Re: Yeah, I think you nailed it. (Zerowind117) : If the Halo's destroy anything bigger then spore-forms, then wouldn't the : spore forms left be able to simply re-animate the corpses left from the : firing? I'm still skeptical of how exactly the Halos kill. Is it some sort : of electromagnetic wave that disrupts biomass? Or some sort of super-sonic : noise? I just don't quite understand how it can kill everything "with : sufficient biomass to sustain the flood" without killing EVERYTHING, : spores included. And yes I realize this is an age-old question, but still : relavent. There is no point in trying to guess how they work. They use magic moonbeams. The nearest thing we have to an explanation is that the Halos kill 'big' lifeforms and that Flood spores can survive. Spores are often very robust so its reasonable to expect that they would survive were complex organisms would perish. What is interesting is that a fair proportion of the planets in the galaxy had been infected. Humans and Covenant species had colonised many planets, yet nobody had encountered Flood spores and got infected. So it looks like they did starve. How does a spore starve? What was the Flood situation on 05? How long had Audrey been free? What did he live on? How does the Flood survive once it has 'eaten' all its hosts?
