In Response To: Re: A scary thought... (scarab) : The Flood may not depend on evolution. GM may be able to decide what forms a : collection of pure Flood cells take. If it's biological it will evolve. It doesn't depend on it any more than we do, and its own actions may even counteract the natural evolution of the organism (for example, eradicating any Flood member which says 'hey, maybe we should start farming instead of parasitising' but the evolution itself doesn't stop) : It seems that it takes time to learn how to infect a species properly. This
Actually - behaviour takes three generations to take hold, at least for humans. I'm fairly sure that physical change is actually faster than you think it is, but I can't find the reference for it so we'll leave it for now (may have been a discussion group in our evolution course) : Flood biology just smells of design. The Flood has such a strange and diverse
: There are landing pods, crawlers, stingers, hulks, infection forms, carriers,
: Look at the different ways that the Flood can infect you. Infection form +
: I can't prove this but it looks like the pure Flood cells are a biological
: One question though, is the Flood really just a parasite? Can it exist
The flood can survive without hosts, they did so for 100,000 years. Even their intelligence survived. If you're asking "can they begin without a host" well, I'd have to say 'no', because their reproduction is based within the spore exploding forms.
