In Response To: Re: Makes me wonder... (scarab) : Yes both engineered but for different purposes. I'd say that Engineers are : engineered for making life convenient. Yeah, Engineers can't really fix life (heal), right? The Flood always struck me as a data-gathering tool, like "I'm done with this life experiment. Let me trigger the archival process and wipe the thing clean so I can try something else". The Flood assimilate and record everything. I know we all hate time-travel stuff, but the Huragok remind me of a process evolved to spectacularly unforseen levels, like the Borg in the Trekaverse or the Inhibitors or Greenfly of Alastair Reynolds novels. The Chief's armor has nano-systems that constantly work to improve his armor. Let that process spin for a few hundred million years and you might eventually get the Huragok.
