Re: 343GS quotes and thoughts *long*

In Response To: Re: 343GS quotes and thoughts *long* (Mark Simmons)

[The point I was making is that, the Forerunners (those threatened) would probably live outside of this galaxy. Otherwise the Halos would pose just as much a threat to them as the Flood would, thus negating their usefulness as a defence.]

I just wanted to bring this up again real quick. I don't think the Forerunner would seperate themselves to that degree. I think they would try to stop the Flood at any cost, even if it meant killing themselves. They could at least huddle together in the safety of a Halo and blast the surrounding space into oblivion...although they wouldnt survive too long after that, i assume.

As to the remarks about the flood not being dead once you apply excessive force to their host body, this is true, if you read Starhammer or
the Vang books (hint, hint, nudge, NUDGE) you'll see in several cases where the host body is worn out or destroyed to the point of being useless to the host, and the parasite has to eject itself from the body. Now this isn't shown in halo, but i would be ECSTATIC if in Halo2 the parasite would skitter out of the host body once it's dead, and then you have to kill THAT too, before it infects something else. How cool would THAT be? (side thought...infected brutes...scary)

Also, about the marine "playing dead", yes, the Vang/Flood would probably have left him alone because there weren't any parasites around that didnt have a host, so they probably thought him uninteresting because in the Vang books it says they prefer live food that screams... although I doubt the Flood would be so easily fooled as to think he was really dead if he was just faking.
