I've never seen the flood doing something similar.
but we haven't seen a full flood outbreak yet have we? therefore we can't make assumptions based of "little" infections.
What difference does the size of an outbreak make? The Gravemind is conscious and has plenty of biomass. If anything, it should be easier for the Gravemind to evolve those forms he has due to their comparatively low numbers.
More genetic material, more to infect, more knowledge to gain, more ways to evolve.
The flood have evolved to what we know now due to them infecting another galaxy then returning. The "nids" have infected what 10 minor galaxys around the milky way right? One that is why they are so deadly due to what they got out of that.
The flood is a early form of them, let the flood fully infect several minor galaxys and then come back at me with all this.
As many are fond of saying : The Gravemind has never died! He does not need more knowledge because he still has all the knowledge of the Forerunners at his disposal as well as plenty of human and Covenant knowledge. The Gravemind has enough genetic material to cover almost every square inch of High Charity and that is not enough?
We do not know the Flood have infected another galaxy. The ships they arrived on are not of this galaxy, yes, but that does not mean they infected another galaxy.
By the way it's a dozen major galaxies as well as a few minor ones.
I am going to wait until cruptum is over to say anything about the gravemind and until we know for a fact he shouldn't be used as an example.
To me i believe the prisoner will end up getting infected in which turn into the gravemind we know. there are too many things that put them together; not to mention that non of the "proto graveminds" we know of (3) look or act anything like the mind we know and they all lived while the gravemind was still active. i don't think the gravemind is a true or actual stage in flood development or atleast not the one we know.
The fact of humanity not fighting a gravemind despite the flood having hundreds of worlds also goes in hand. yes people say "they were primitive" which equals natural. So until the gravemind issue has been settled i won't even touch it.
And yes we know from cryptum that they infect another galaxy before returning. hence the 10,000 year absence and them returning far more advanced.
