Re: Can Flood Infect Machines?

: 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!) The idea was the Flood spores kept in stasis would be studied and a cure found for them In any case, no, I highly doubt Flood can control computer systems or robots as they do organic beings-they can access the circuitry and control it, but that's about it. That's exactly why you use robots to fight them in the first place.
