Flood infects Truth And Reconciliation crew en route to Earth. Earth falls. The Covenant find an infected Earth. Flood infect Covenant invasion forces, and go to High Charity. High Charity falls. Flood travel throughout galaxy and proceed to systematically wipe out the individual races left. The end.
I don't think so, they controlled 80% of the ship, and they just killed a avalanche of flood, sure one of them would have made it all the way to earth but if it infected civilians, there would have been a quarantine, wouldn't have taken over all of earth.
Because 100% containment and at least an understanding of the flood worked out so well for the Mona Lisa...I'm sure a group of marines with no real understanding of the Flood or Covenant ship design can fair better.
Agreed, they were in the vent system when they attacked the engine room.
I'm fairly sure the guy you quoted is being sarcastic. The flood is not to be underestimated. Hell, if it was so easy then the Forerunners wouldn't have lost.
I was. The point I was making was that the Marines under Silva had absolutely no idea what they were dealing with. Wesley did not have as much experience dealing with the Flood or knowing basic things like Cortana did, but at least he recognized that they were not in any way ready to leave the ring properly. They didn't even control the entirety of the Truth and Reconciliation. All in all they were guaranteed to be screwed over.
The Mona Lisa. You had ONI spooks conducting experiments with the Flood. They were fully aware of what they are and their basic functions based off the Chief's intel. The ship was specifically equipped to contain the flood so they could be experimented on the prisoners and observed. That failed horribly.
Thus based on that it's apparent the survivors of the Autumn on the TaR had no chance of containing the Flood either. Not even close. They'll all eventually be infected en route to Earth and deliver it to the Flood on a silver platter.
