I'm just looking for a bit of clarification on how the Flood first appeared.
So basically the humans found a ship (or was it ships) that contained circular containers full of this strange powder. They cautiously tested the substance to find that the powder was nothing but a few chains of molecules that posed no threat to them. Though, they found out that their pets (forget what they were called) if exposed to this powder would become better in a domestic sense, and even adapt minor mutations seen at the time as favorable variations.
Then, the mutations slowly became less pleasing, and eventually the Flood jumped from the pets to the humans, and from the humans to the San'Shyuum (or is it San'Shyuun?). Still, when the humans were infected they still did not become the Flood we know. Instead these people saw the infection as some kind of blessing, and began forcibly infecting others, until the humans find some kind of cure by altering there genes, and then drove back the Flood.
So what I need clarification on is basically, when did the Flood become the Flood we all know from the Halo series? When did this chain of molecules mutate to become the violent and parasitic life hell bent on destroying the universe?
Apologies if this was all explained at some point. I was sick as a read that part in the book, and not of the soundest frame of mine.
