On reprogramming the Flood- LONG
Posted By: Morgalad <ecthel1234@aol.com>Date: 5/17/05 8:50 a.m.

In Response To: Re: So will she reprogram the Flood? (Draxxion)

: except that now there's a civil war between the races in the covenant, and
: the elites on Delta Halo seemed to have been on friendly terms with the
: remaining humans, so wouldn't it be wiser to simply anihilate the flood
: and attempt to get the support of the Elites, Grunts, and Hunters?

good point.

Also, now that the civil war is in progress, what will happen to the rest of the covies? Tartarus and (probably) Mercy are dead, Regret is assilimated into the Gravemind, Truth is en route to Earth. Their leadership is absent. Will Cortana consider them a threat enough to take action?

And how much power does she really have over the Gravemind? It's been stated that she's not afraid of it, and I agree. But will it really allow her to "reprogram" the Flood? Might she become like Regret, assilimated into the Gravemind, but with no real power?

This would give the Flood the coordinates to Earth. What if H3 begins like H2, except with the Flood attacking instead of the Covenant?

Here's my theory:
1) Truth attacks Earth with a limited contingent of troops (remember, he just has the Forerunner ship, not the entire fleet)
2) MC defends Earth until reinforcements arrive (Johnson, Keyes, and possibly the Arbiter)
3) Gravemind, with Cortana in tow, joins the party, and Cortana is helpless

This depends on several things. For example, if the Forerunner ship has a Death Star-style superlaser, this would change things a bit. This also assumes that Cortana is a helpless prisoner and the Gravemind will attack Earth.

I am open to criticism. Feel free to shoot any holes necessary, and thanks for reading this long post
