Subject: Covenant task force...

Hey Universe, I've been wondering about this for a long while and I want you guys to answer it. As you know, the Llegelko worms cannot be infected by the Flood so why didn't the Covenant make smaller versions of Hunters, say Elite sized Hunter suits, and send them in to eliminate the Flood? Its seems like a good idea.

well SPECIES are limited.
The flood can also repopulate rather quickly.
I don't think the covenant wanted their hunters to go on a genocidal campaign against a being they couldn't destroy alone.
MAYBE if the UNSC and Covenant banded together they could've, but that's like 95% unlikely.
Not to mention the covenant wanted to kill and glass all of the human colonies which they almost did.

Oh wait no I wasn't talking about all the Flood I was talking about small scale infestations

Am I supposed to write something funny here?

I guess it could work. Grunts and jackels aren't infectable either. I think atleast.

They are infectable. They just turn straight into carrier forms.

And Spartan Is like Johnson could also help without being infected. But they can still fight back.


Johnson can still have his limbs ripped...

spartans can get infected. and it is probably due to the legkolo not sending alot of forces to the covenant.

Hunters are Lekgolo hiveminds, which means that the smaller they are the dumber they are. If you make small colonies then I imagine that their combat effectiveness would drop substantially.
