In Response To: Re: A little speculation *Spoilers* Part 1 (mendicantbias00)


: I dont think you missed anything and you are most definitely not ignorant, I
: just don't think that we can take Cortana's words 100% literally. If the
: rings destroy all sentient life, that would mean the flood and Gravemind
: too, as Gravemind is sentient (although to be fair, one does not need to
: be self aware to be sentient).

: Also, the fact that a swat with a magnum can "pop" an infection
: form, leaves me to highly doubt that a blast from the rings that would
: kill all people, animals, and other life forms and leave the flood
: unharmed. And if that is the truth...why cant it be engineered the
: opposite way...and make it so the rings ONLY kill the flood.

: Or have I missed something?

The Terminals reveal that that flood originated from a galaxy elsewhere, and so, the evolution of the flood as a species would be so vastly different that their biological structure may perhaps be incomprehensible to even forerunner and their tech. So any countermeasure against them would likely be based on knowledge of 'terrestrial' biological forms, and thus, only be able to effect these 'terrestrial' forms.

So the Halo's probably (unless I'm missing something =P) wouldn't have an effect on the flood supercell, and obviously has no affect on in-organics. So it would disintegrate any 'terrestrial' tissue, leaving behind a blob of infected/pure super cells, but having no or little effect on Infection forms, the Gravemind/s or pureforms which are all pure supercell structures.
