Think smaller.
Posted By: AngelicLionheart <AngelicLionheart@gmail.com>Date: 1/5/10 4:46 p.m.

In Response To: Re: "Why preserve the Flood?" Here's why. (Metalingus627)


: Origins Part 1 shows the pulse wiping Flood off of the surface of
: planets/starships. Unless that was metaphorical as well, the pulse kills
: Flood as well as their food.

: In Halo 3 they were all the same size as well.

Just because it wipes all that big stuff out, doesn't necessarily mean that it wipes out every single Floodspore in the entire galaxy. What it does do, according to my understanding, is wipe out both non-infected and infected biomasses of a certain size and greater, kinda like a neutron bomb. So those floodspores that are leftover after the firing of the pulse no longer have anything that they can infect, and so they starve and die out. Thus, the only remaining Flood in the galaxy are the ones that are under controlled conditions on either the rings or the gas mining facility and whatever/wherever else they were kept for study.

That's what I've come to understand about it anyways.
