Flood as a bioweapon/bioenhancement

[cha1nmast3r86]

why would the forerunners fight the flood with organic warriors, when they already have machines that can fight and wont get infected.

Ok, I've been reading through this thread and typing up my reply in a note pad document. Hopefully if you've read the whole thread you can follow what points I'm talking about because I won't be using exact quotes.



Forunner immunity = spartan - Private Jenkins if you read the books he still keeps control of his thoughts and his body to an extent when he is taken over. The flood more takes over your nervous system. You're still fairly aware when taken over.


The blood reaction of the wall- no way to say any other blood wouldn't have done that.

"This would support my theory in that his own brain is still with him and has not been lost to the Flood, but he is still unable to move or anything like that which I will explain later." - This appears to happen no matter what blood you have.


The flood do think on their own, they were fixing a covenant ship in halo:CE. If they didn't know how to use the knowledge from the minds they infiltrate the flood would be pointless. the flood can think for itself.

Keyes becomes a giant blob because the flood fuses him with an elite ship captain so that they can use Keyes tactics with the elites knowledge of how to fly the ship.

And as another said, why make the halos if you're slightly immune to the flood, and if the Forerunner had developed the Flood, I'm sure they would have done a mixed blood test.

Sargent Johnson does have boreans syndrom. The initial story was that he got it by blowing up a box of plasma nades on...Paris something or other. What he was really doing was fighting on Harvest before it was glassed and most likely got exposed to a huge amount of plasma either by narrowly escaping the glassing or general combat. -my sources for this are from the Halo Graphic novel and work done by a member of the B.net boards who i believe is named ogopogo.


The halos are giant labs obviously. They were built to contain and study the flood just as 343 told us. There are 7 of them because that is the number needed to wipe life from the galaxy, they are both weapon and lab because they wanted the flood to be as close as possible to the blast so ensure it's death(or the death of it's food if you want to get picky)

To the person pointing out the non lab nature of the areas on the actual rings. Do you not think have the different labs for studying different aspects of the flood. If you look at the level design of the level 343 guilty spark from halo one, the area generally has 2 levels. The lower level is never connected to the upper level unless the upper level was somehow damaged. Also some rooms on the second level have glass floors. When you release the flood, the spore form cannot jump to the second level(for the most part i know in the game one might randomly get up there by some freak chance) and the spore form is the one contained in the "vault" room where the flood is initially released. From this wee can see the that the lower level is an area where the flood could have just ran around while the forerunner were safe on the second level.

To LorD Baztard - He has metal plated to his bones and computer circuits in his body. Go look up the definition of a cyborg.

Edit: changed what i said in response to the keyes blob. I dont have the story bible so i cannot say that it's a solid fact. I am also trying to find ogopogo's threads from the b.net boards for what i said about seargent johnson. ogopogo points out details from the halo graphic novel to support this claim.

Edit2: I found the threads. The first I will list supports the Seargent Johnson is a spartan I theory and goes no about is boreans, the second is just some highly detailed research and speculation about harvest.

MariusDarkwolf your're right. Upon a second reading of the thread I linked in my edit I realize that he does not have boreans syndrom. Though if you haven't read those two threads yet I suggest you do. They are very interesting.



Edit: Well it seems according to the threads I link He does have borreans syndrom, but as I said the original excuse was a cover up. To quote the thread I'm refferencing.
