Re: Let me speculate man! It's healthy! :-)

In Response To: Let me speculate man! It's healthy! :-) *NM* (Ross Mills)

Speculate away! There may well be other Flood forms we haven't seen, and I realise that I left out the Flood/Keyes blob in my lifecycle, however, in this case I think the following terms have been interchangeable:

Rangers
Infection Forms
Spores

I think the term Spores here is now not quite correct, since 343GS explicitly states that the spores are carried by the Rangers. However, everyone will probably still call them Spores or Infection Forms, since Bungie themselves seem to do so (check out Evil Otto's walkthrough of The Library for examples in the first few paragraphs).

Speaking of speculation, if all you need is one spore, then maybe a few are still hanging on to Keyes' neural net. The MC gives is a bit of a shake after ripping it out of the blob, and goo (that's a technical term) flies off, but then he merrily sticks it in his head. That said, I reckon the slot is isolated from his body, so the spores can't infect him, even when he does take his helmet off in the Longsword. Maybe this is discovered, possibly from data Cortana got from the Core, and ONI works out some other way to wipe out the Flood instead of cleansing the galaxy of life (which the Forerunners couldn't find out), and the Humans and Covenant live happily ever after.

Nah!
