Is it possible that the MC has been infected by the Flood? Maybe not all the way but subtly from the infection form in the 2nd novel. On page 34-5 "The Mater Chief's hand curled into a fist, and for a moment he felt the urge to slam it into something". then later it's says "he'd never been prone to such outbursts." Also the wound on his neck still throbs and it says "The struggle against the Flood must have gotten to him, more than he'd realized". Also later on it descripes how Sgt Johnson may hold the key to curing the flood but to discover it Sgt Johnson would no doubt be killed and Master Chief destroyed that capsule. Perhaps the infection form injected him more subtly but it will slowly corrupt the Master Chief like all that Halo data is slowing and corrupting Cortana. And because John spared Sgt Johnson he infact doomed himself. Just a intresting thought and no doubt a theory but what are your thoughts?

That's pretty good, but i don't know how the flood acctually infect somthing...don't they insert their tenticles into their victim and tap into their spinal cord, then they sort though their thoughts one by one discarding them and then eventually take over their mind and mutate them into a disgusting creature where it later lodges it-self in it's victim's chest? I'm pretty sure that's how it goes if not please by all mean correct me. but if what i said is the process then the master cheif couldn't be getting changed by the flood because it was killed and he pulled the tentacle out from under his fleash. so he would be fine wouldn't he?

Maybe it wouldn't change him but it infected him with flood dna and he will slowly change but your right we dont know how they infect thier victims so you never know but a intresting thought.

I couldnt believe that, because Cortana destroyed the flood pod before it could relese itself within the Chief. Also all those things you said about him curling up his fist and stuff like that he just went through the horror of fighting the flood and fighting all the time if you ask me , I think that would effect me if I just survived hell for almost a week.Remember he said that he just wants to forget about everything that happened on Halo becuz of all the hardship he went through so his personality changed not because of a Flood within him but becase of all the crap he went through on Halo.

The cure to the flood is Hemlock, I don't feel like explaining it but it is true.
