In Response To: Re: Hokey stories and ancient religions. (Louis Wu) : The loose Flood on Installation 05 are a pretty big loose end; we have no : word on what happened with them. : There is no way to rebuild the Halo defense system, either, so if they find a
Holy ****. That IS a loose end - We clearly see from the terminals in Halo 3 - from the snippets of Forerunner combat reports, that the Flood "enter slipspace on random vectors" with all FTL-capable ships, and all non-FTL ships assault everything else which the Flood does not control. Every Covenant Capital Ship is an FTL-capable ship, and to assume that High Charity and the one Covenant Cruiser from Halo 3 - Floodgate were the only Covenant ships captured by the Flood would involve ignoring everything a semi-conscious fan would learn in the previous two games... The fact of the matter is, they DID find a way off of that ring. The CCS that the Flood/Cortana sent to Earth is clear proof of that, and High Charity even more so. Which means that the Flood is once again loose in the galaxy. Of course, knowing that the Gravemind is 'dead' (no pun intended) begs the question as to how... intelligent or directed the Flood actually is - if it can in fact operate starships without the ruling direction of a a Gravemind. You'd assume that a Gravemind would eventually be compiled, but without a supply of host material... And THAT leads into the question of what's left at the Delta Halo. Starships, viable hosts, another Gravemind, a monitor who might actually be fully functional instead of insane (2401 PT vs 343 GS)... And there are still six viable and (I assume) fully-functional rings in the Halo 'defense' network. Oh dear...
