And there is nothing to suggest that the flood are infecting or spreading in another galaxy right now.
Quite the contrary, actually. Everything suggests that this is precisely what the Flood is doing. The Flood are an extragalactic threat; they come into the Milky Way in few numbers and spread.
We still don't know where they came from, or who really did unleash them into the Milky Way. We just know that whatever happened in our galaxy definitely was not the beginning and the end of ALL the Flood; it was merely the beginning and the end of the Flood that attacked us in our galaxy.
I never felt that there was ANY doubt at all that the Flood probably has a presence, and probably a much STRONGER presence, outside of our galaxy.
Though i am glad for you to be back (how ever temporary it is) we did the math a long time ago and it would take them more than 10,000 years to completely infect even a small galaxy. they didn't even fully infect our galaxy in the time they were here more so than the areas with the races we know of.
Okay, lets break this down slowly.
The Flood came from another galaxy into ours.
They have been in our galaxy for lets say 100,000 years. In that time, they fought the Forerunners, were starved to death by the Halo Arrays, lay dormant for tens of thousands of years, and in the last 2 years of the fiction as we know it, have been fully awakened.
In that sense, the Flood really only has had a couple of 'real' years to actually be able to spread and in that short time, they've done amazing things.
This is just the Flood that came INTO our galaxy.
We have NO idea whatsoever how long the Flood has existed outside our galaxy. Hence, we don't know how much they have evolved. BUT, they were the root point. The Flood that evolved in our galaxy came from there. So logically, the Flood outside of our galaxy would be of equal, if not higher, level of evolution.
