In Response To: All right, here's the problem here. (Cthulhu117) : We don't know what precisely Gravemind means. : Is it the big Audrey below Delta Halo/the big tentacles in Revelation? : Or is it the not-necessarily-physically-extant being that can communicate
: The Gravemind is the Flood. The Flood is the Gravemind. Every mind the Flood
: Like Mendicant Bias, the Flood is a single entity in a potentially infinite
: The mind does not die. Even one infection form contains (although it is
: Mendicant Bias is more like the Gravemind than he knows. Right. So the question isn't really if the Gravemind (as mass, center, hub) survived, but whether or not the Flood as a whole were blown back to the feral stage (as referred to in the Flood's entry in the Bestiary) by the Halo Effect. Meaning, was "central processing" disrupted? I still say yes. And I tend to believe that a Gravemind's mass (hub, central point, whatever) and the Gravemind entity/intelligence is essentially the same thing. The mass in not necessarily Gravemind, but it allows Gravemind to become, to be. I still say all Gravemind masses (if more than 1), and the Gravemind sentience that emerges from the Flood, were destroyed by the Halo Effect. And finally, this statement "Mendicant Bias is more like the Gravemind than he knows." is right on the money.
