Re: Can Flood Infect Machines?
Posted By: GatchamanUK <gatchamanuk@yahoo.com>	Date: 5/3/08 5:21 p.m.
: I mean obviously the flood form cannot rewrite the genetic code and turn it : into a flood form, since it's made of metal and wires(?) but could an : infection form take control of a robot like a sentinal? I don't think an infection form could, they seem to be a one-job organism(to me at least), Their only purpose is to infect creatures with nervous systems (taking control of nerve cells and such) and make them into combat forms. A gravemind might be able to manipulate the sentinel's machinery, like he does with high charity (Or is that just combat/pure forms using inherited knowledge to operate the controls?), although that really isn't 'infecting' it, just 'using' it. And anyway, I'd think the Forerunners would not have made the machines whose purpose was to stop any flood outbreaks vulnerable to flood control. (Although they have made some weird decisions in the past, i.e. keeping flood on the rings!)
