Re: Brain replacement

: I'd think not. It seems like an unnecessary step, as the Flood doesn't mind : sticking their tentacles into bodies that don't even have heads anymore : and still manage to make them work. When all you need is the body, there : seems to be no point in digging into the head and trying to make it tick : again. : Unless the Flood specifically want to access some knowledge in that brain... : Can they do that if it was already dead or does it need to be alive when : the thought probing process begins, like Keyes? That's a very good point! I wonder if they're still able to access information in the brain? I think they used this technique to operate machinery, weapons, etc. that the host knew how to operate; for instance, if a human Pelican pilot was infected, that particular Flood may know how to pilot a Pelican. This raises another interesting question. Once one Flood learns how to do something, is that knowledge instantly accessable to other Flood forms? Maybe before a Gravemind develops, each Flood has to gain knowledge independently; after a Gravemind forms, knowledge becomes part of the Flood's collective conciousness.
