Well, Enkindu has certanly gone off the deep end. the REALLY deep end... now, in response to the post about the flood forms, Cpt.Mathers belives that the flood is a kind of bio-agent, a viral weapon if you will, that has the ability to re-animate the bodies. now, if i was Cpt.Mathers, and i saw that whenever one of "those Shambling Freaks" got shot, it dispersed, and a cloud went up, and soon the private next to me looks like some sort of resident evil throwback, i would think that it was caused by that cloud. now, in the game Halo, the flood use the Ranger/Infection form to infect. it is able to make large leaps, but when it hits an energy shield it pops. if there is no shield, it embeds itself in the victim/hosts chest cavity and takes over all bodily functions by way of the spinal column. it then releases SPORES which mutate the host body to suit its needs. perhaps Cpt.Mathers and crew have not seen the Ranger/Infection form yet, and have just seen the spores. it makes sense that the spores could work as an infectant (is that even a word?).
sorry for the long treatise on the flood, i hope it might help shed light on this madness. Good luck folks ;)
