Subject: The Flood's origin.

Now, I've played through all the Halo games, but I've only read Contact Harvest. I don't really remember anything about where the Flood came from. Did the Flood just spontaneously appear? Or did they come from another galaxy?

They did come from a different galaxy if I remember correctly.

Doesn't it say something like this in Halo Legends?
I don't remember exactly.

The consensus so far seems to be that the Flood are from out-of-galaxy. Does this mean we can safely assume that the Flood still exists, albeit really really far away, in other galaxies?

They achieved interstellar flight and left Earth. The intelligent ones left after killing all of the stupid dinosaurs.

Have you read Cryptum yet?

It kinda explains their origin. I can't wrap my head around it but they were some kind of powder thing created by the Precurser.

Don't take my word for it though.

Precursors made the powder that the humans and Shan'Shyuum used on their pets that had some sort of endearing effect (I don't recall exactly what it was initially). The pets eventually evolved into the flood (it was actually quite interesting the various steps from the pet to the flood...it would do some good to get a copy of Halo: Cryptum for yourself)

Its said in Halo Ledgends Orgins 1 That the flood was intergalactic and the Forerunners didn't think much of it at first but then saw it as a serious threat after the Pre Gravemind was created ultimately causeing the Halos and the Ark to be built

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

SPOILER.
