yeah, the book explains the ordeal johnon went through to get off Halo
can you explain the ordeal, I'm to lazy and broke to buy and read the books
Taken from First Strike pg. 243-245
"The Sgt. survived." she said. "The only human to have direct exposure to the Flood meta-organism and walk away."
"I know," the MC whispered. "I'm not sure how he survived. How could anyone live throught that?"
"That's the simple part.
She tapped a key, and the Sgt.'s medical records flashed on screen.
"See, here?" She touched a file dated three years before. "He was diagnosed with Boren's syndrome."
"I haven't heard of it." the chief said.
"I'm not surprised. It's caused by high-yield plasma. Like the burst released by a Covenant plasma grenade.
Apparently, the Sgt. captured a crate of plasma grenades during the covie seige of Paris IV. He used them all. And recieved a twelve-hundred rad dose of of radiation as a bonus."
(yada, yada, yada)
Basically Sarge's syndrome screwed with the electrical setup of his nervous system, thus making him "taste bad" to the Flood. He then escaped in a Pelican with the chief, but that's another story.
You're the real turkey here - " taken from..." with a page reference means it IS a quote; if you were doing a summary you should have said so. Don't flame me until you work out what the hell you're on about, MC's Arse goblin.
By the way, Kroenen started the flaming.
