In Response To: Re: Can Flood Infect Machines? (Bryan Ojeda) : Flood can not infect machines because of the inafficiency of bio-mass but the : flood can capture them. : 2401 Penitant Tanget is an example of this. Gravemind captured 2401 and as
Inefficiency? Assuming, as we're apparently meant to, that biology is relatively plastic for the Flood (e.g. it can learn how to interface with and infect ANY calcium-based lifeform it encounters), why wouldn't the same apply to hardware/software? Neural networks are quite powerful programming tools, and since at least Cortana is an exact duplicate of a biological entity, I see no reason why the Flood couldn't comfortably interact with a silicon-based system. The nature of 2401PT's captivity is unclear. He is AT LEAST a captive. At worst he is being fully piloted by the Gravemind, who can turn his personality on and off like a light-bulb. For all we know that's how the Gravemind accesses the teleportation grid - through 2401PT's control mechanisms.
