IT SUX HE WONT DIE!

Yea, I haven't thought about the fact that Johson MIGHT not be able to die.

That does suck:(

The process described by Dr. Hasley gives life, it doesn't clone it. Dr. Hasley's own words, "It appears to have imparted him (Johnson) with some currios regenerative abilities." Unlike mitosis, the process being described by Dr. Hasley gives dead cells new life, it doesn't make a clone of the origianl... all cells are the origianl. This is why she describes the process as currious. She doesn't completly understand it herself:)

Read the book better because there are two forms of flood one is the battle form which is the one where it looks sort of like a football player with tenticals. The other form is a carrier which is like a ballon with legs it carries up to 5 to 6 small little flood which will infect a covenant or human through the heart and it will take only a little time till their they can't resist thier side but,if it is a jackal or grunt it becomes a carrier because they are to small.
SORRY TO BE RUDE

Not to be rude, but reread First Strike.

Johnson can NOT be infected. He has Boren's Syndrome:)

In case you didn't know for this process to be infinite Johnson would have to have infinite telomerase other wise some DNA would be lost. Such as how when you are young you have more telomerase which as you get older wears down and eventually when the cells divide to make more they lose parts of the DNA fragment, causing wrinkles and other such problems, along with the final death. Now if he did have infinite telomerase then he could regenerate forever, but that is doubtful, because the flood don't even have infinite telomerase, other wise they could get shot and come back over and over and over.

Sure Johnson cannot be infect because of Boren's Syndrome, but who is to say that the dead and weakened flood DNA in him still is infectious? If it was like a virus, and it spread then it would be more of a vaccine than a threat, just like how we inject dead and very weak virus cells into people to vaccinate them from the specific type of virus. So basically that person would gain the same ability of Johnson if they did not transform and since they may not since the part that does transform people could be missing then that person would become like Johnson and keep coming back. Of course your idea is not exempt from a possibility just you need to understand that it is an open ended question and not expect everyone to agree with you.

I'll be on my own side.

*sigh* Eagle should i explain it to these people?

  • 07.05.2004 11:16 AM PDT

Have at it Nedus.

I've had this discussion to many times today:)

ok. to all you people who keep thinking that Johnson is gonna turn into a Flood Combat From or whatever and infect the Earth,youre WRONG. for him to change,he has to have the COMPLETE DNA SEQUENCE, not just some gene fragments. those gene fragment are harmless,and as Dr. Halsey said,"very much dead and noninfectious" " and it also gave him some regenerative abilities. i dont want to exlpain the whole gene fragment thing,so ill stop here.

pay attention in your Biology classes

I think there may be huge scares he'll release it, and he'll be captured or something, needing you to rescue him.

"The way of the warrior is the path of shadow. The gift of the warrior is to percieve that which cannot be seen. The spirit of the warrior is to strike in a single moment. The destiny of the warrior is balance in all things. And when balance is lost... all that is left is the reckoning."

First off, Johnso can't infect anyone. The flood cells have mutated because of Boren's and cannot transform him, they're in him but they're dormant. He cant infect people because it's not the genes that infect people you need a living infection form to implant them into the spinal cord where the mutate the living persons DNA. You cant mutate genes, they're mutating the persons DNA structure which will essentially mak them something else.

Your thoughts are well placed, but I do have a rebuttle. The only thing is, the rebbuttle takes about 5 hours to tell... ask Nedus, he knows. Check back in latter, and I'll have a reply to your's, and many other's, concerns. Trust me... it's going to be good stuff:)
