Re: "Why preserve the Flood?" Here's why.
Posted By: Narcogen <narcogen@rampancy.net>Date: 1/5/10 11:30 p.m.

In Response To: Re: "Why preserve the Flood?" Here's why. (Anton P. Nym (aka Steve))

: -- Steve thinks there's too much emphasis on the Rings wiping out the Flood
: in speculation lately... when they likely did no such thing, as we have
: been told many times the Array Pulse could not do so and could only
: deprive the Flood of hosts in the hopes of starving the infection out.

Exactly. Which is why I think a prudent move, after the decision to fire the Array had been made, but before the Array had actually been fired, would have been to destroy all extant Flood specimens kept for testing, in full knowledge that 1) it was likely they would escape eventually, and 2) there was no guarantee of the Reclaimers or any other reseeded species being able to continue such testing and research without allowing the Flood to escape.

Of course, it doesn't help when things like Origins SHOWS the array pulse scraping Flood growths off Forerunner ships, it negates years of discussions about the distinctions between "killing potential hosts" and just "killing Flood".
