Subject: Creation of the Flood

So less than halfway I read in Halo: Cryptum that Precurosrs created the Flood, but then died by their own creation. Correct me if I'm wrong, I asked this because me and another Halo Reach forum goer are debating on it. Also, I'm not that much of an expert in Halo lore, so once again I could be wrong.

The cold ghost has come, the sorrow forgotten will be remembered...

I haven't read that far into the book myself either, but it would seem by observing what I have read it would seem that some of the strucres are simularlly composed of simular builing materials as the orginal flood. But I think rather that they may have accidentally made them as a byproduct of their building materails. I draw this conclusion based on the fact that their structures seem to be living stone and metal, but ancient humans aparently had a hand in creating the flood we know today. How ever humans did make a vaccine, which if injected would make the host become a plague to the flood, acting like a blaze accross an open field. However, eny by product of this combination would lead to organic growth. Basically, flood dies, life starts again...I would think the byproduct would be plant like, as it is an adaptation to the fungi, and a resequenced gene of the original material. Some plants actaully over come fungi, and take root were they once lived. However, I'm not entirely sure if the forerunners had access to this vaccine, or that they would be willing to use it, as it requires a sacrifice....They may also not have known about it, or the flood became imune, or it was not readilly available. Either way...I think this light of information may help in the matter...

The flood came from another galaxy, on cargo ships of unknown origin as a powder. Humans introduced the powder into a domesticated species and *poof* flood... never heard anything about precursors creating them

It actually does make more sense that Precursors created them out of accident like something having to do with their materials. I strictly remember as the Precursors creating the Flood I read it in the book, and I was shocked because their origins previously had no factual evidence to point to a logical conclusion.

It seems pretty interesting I'm near the part where Didact says "were kidnapping you." I read something that the book had to do with Gravemind

"Creation of the Flood" was a bad idea on the Precursor's part.

I wonder if the prisoner is the one who created the flood which is why he gets locked up in a precursor statis capsule. IDK, just a theory.

Well not for long it seems because many people think he is the Gravemind and MB was the AI who helped him.

Where in the book does it outright say that the Precursors made the Flood?

I have not read cryptum but have heard that the flood came over as a powdery like substiance from an Unknown part of the Galaxy.

Please tell us, because i have read the book 5 times and i had never seen that or was given the implication of such.

I love how people make random and stupid assumptions.
