In Response To: Flood Telepathy - Biological Robots? (SPARTAN-034) : Why would it have to be that hokey concept of telepathy? Couldn't the Flood, : being a hyper evolved, err...anti-lifeform, have developed some sort of : analogue to the sort of signals that we use now to control things like : UAVs and remote control cars? Lesser forms have some sort of antennae : organ, and the Gravemind has a transmitter organ. The Gravemind is able to : transmit and recieve signals from his combat forms, and with his massive : biological computer that we call a brain he's able to process all of those : signals and deal with them all simultaneously (and when he's not in : control, they are autonomous to an extent). As for the long distance part : of it, why couldn't he have a sort of transmitter that works through : slipspace? The Covies have a superluminal comm network on High Charity, : and we know the Forerunner had such things. : Not a critical point, just a little lightbulb that went off a few minutes
What distinguishes that from telepathy? Sounds like you've described it without using the word. A mechanism of sending and receiving transmissions from biological organisms without the need for a device. Telepathy.
