Re: The Smuggler, Part 2? | |
Posted By: Urban Reflex | Date: 6/10/08 3:52 a.m. |
In Response To: Re: The Smuggler, Part 2? (Avateur) When talking about this topic I think we need to differentiate the Flood itself from their hosts. So, "The Flood" consists of the infection forms, the pure forms, and the Mind. Their hosts are just other beings that they infect. I've always believed that the rings kill SENTIENT life ("The only way to stop the flood is to starve them to death. And that's exactly what Halo is designed to do; wipe the galaxy clean of all sentient life"), and so upon activation the hosts would die, yet the infection forms would live on. So basically, I agree with Speedhuntr. This would also explain why the blind wolf and other creatures survive on Delta Halo after the firing. Even if the flood infect every non-sentient creature in the galaxy, what are they going to do? They have no knowledge, no sentience. They can't pilot ships to other galaxies, they can't be anything more than they already are.
