I did read cryptum but i didnt play halo's IRIS.Fine if people say that i havent read cryptum ask me something about it and i can answer you right now.


You say you have read cryptum but say the forerunners beat the flood.

I didnt say that...I said flood are invincible...Because in this galaxy you may defeat it but it will win in the other galaxy and infect another one.

Your an idiot.


The Flood can be exterminated seeing how that is exactly what the humans did. And there is nothing to suggest that the flood are infecting or spreading in another galaxy right now.

Heck your an idiot too then.
Where did the flood come from AFTER the human-forerunner war and BEFORE forerunner flood war ?
They where losing strongly...They went out of the galaxy...After some pitful 10,000 years they came back on flood bioships (most likely best tier they can reach) and started a war with forerunners....from that we can be sure that the flood has been outside our galaxy and might be infecting other galaxies while the age old 100,000 years pass....
Ofcourse you might ask why havent they come back then ?
Well this is unkown ....but still im right.
Also the HUMANS did not defeat flood...only a small amount and a weak force....i bet the flood would pwn each freaking race at highest tech upside down all togther if they had forerunner tech.

You are not going to be able to infect a galaxy in a mere 100,000 years not even the small local ones.

The humans did defeat the flood which is why the flood left the galaxy. Had they stayed they would have been completely eradicated.

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.

And what about the forerunner flood war that lasted 300 years only ? and got the whole galaxy almost consumed ?
Ohh so you where talking about Human Ancient Empire ? i thougt future humans....Well still they found a weak spot in genetics...The flood adopted to that and no such thing would work again meaning to say...No if the AHE would be in a little future (Forerunner flood war) they would not be able to defeat it.

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.

There is no way the flood could have infected a galaxy millions of light years across in a mere 300 years. You must know absolutely nothing about space to even believe that claim.

In 300 years the flood was pushing the forerunner empire back and with the humans out of the picture it was a good chance the galaxy would fall if the forerunners did. Which is why Didact stopped the flood before it could spread. In 300 years the flood infected area's in the orion arm, not the full galaxy.

If that were true then the flood wouldn't have left the galaxy in the first place they woudl have just ran to another location in the "way", adapted, and came back for round two. If that logic even worked you could say they adapted to the halo array.

Because of the magniot line -.-
The forerunners concentrated most of their fleets there....the other half was falling miserably.

Nothing was ever said about the line to even assume that. The most we have is the thing in the bloodline comics.

you seem to be picking at anything that your mind can understand and sticking with it despite how little sense it makes.

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.

No im pretty good in astronomy and this is fiction...So please dont tell me that i suck at real life because this is stupid.
The forerunners barely held out the flood while it was "collecting" and before the end they started going for magniot line and forerunners began lossing terribly...
So the flood was not even trying to fight most of the time.
Also they would leave...because there is a civalization trying to exterminate it and it cant reproduce....most likely to escape rather than hide.
Also you said that the flood would infect a galaxy in 10,000 years right ?
Well thats 10 galaxies....Enought to destroy our whole galactic group...also milkyway is the second biggest galaxy apart from andromeda...

I don't understand why you are assuming the flood even exist outside of this galaxy, this isn't warhammer.

From what we know the flood could honestly be nothing more than an extreme mutation created from idiots feeding that powder to pets.

On top of that when they were defeated they returned a short time after. Any other parasite would have infected everything it easily could before coming back, yet the flood seemingly came back after awhile after the humans were de-evolved and couldn't do anything.



The flood seem to be a complex bio-weapon built on eradicating the milky way specifically rather than anything else.

I can't test you astronomy skills but in this fiction you suck.


The forerunners didn't hold out because they weren't fighting. They could have easily wiped out the flood but didn't see the need since "lesser humans" did it easily. so for 300 years they gave it a blind eye until it attacked the capital.

Can you not read? I said you couldn't even infect the small local galaxy's in 10,000 years. That is just accounting the distances within space.

After they returned to galaxy they had bioships which means they where on high state.
Its even logical to say that they had infected another galaxy and come back to milkyway...after the galaxy was fully infected it would fully be abondend since there would be no use of it as all resources are used up and the galaxy they infected was abondend and one part of flood went to milky way and the other went some where else.

You forgot about FTL drives that forerunners and AHE had...
Yes in current reality the maximum speed is 99,99% of light not more.But there is slipspace its a dimension and we are not sure how many dimensions actually exist.

The forerunners where actually fighting them...they where taking it seriouse untill the first world fell...Explain why they would build huge planet like ring shaped labrotories and make a weapon that can destroy a galaxy at the same time ?

Tell me your reasoning for how 10,000 years is enough to infect one galaxy. Show some math along with which galaxy we are talking about. Because unless you are factoring the average resistance time of some unknown species, distance between stars, how long it would take to get to said galaxy and back,etc The you are BSing.


Again, It was not explained in detail the objects the flood crashed on Seaward in. Seeing how they used bio pods in halo 3 Bioships shouldn't be that hard to make with biomass. Especially if the flood can change into whatever it needs.

Logical to say=Logical to assume. Which means that it shouldn't be taken as a fact and that you are just assuming random things, which you are

The forerunners didn't even have the technology to leave the galaxy back then and we know NOTHING of ancient man.

And they didn't take it seriously until the capital fell, i honestly doubt that you have read cryptum. That was all the librarians doing and the halo's were built as system destroying weapons. They weren't modified to destroy the galaxy until AFTER THE Capital fell and didact was in charge.

The halos themselves were just a political gig, they weren't even going to use them BEFORE THE CAPITAL fell



Stop lying because you did not read cryptum

Again, It was not explained in detail the objects the flood crashed on Seaward in. Seeing how they used bio pods in halo 3 Bioships shouldn't be that hard to make with biomass. Especially if the flood can change into whatever it needs.

Logical to say=Logical to assume. Which means that it shouldn't be taken as a fact and that you are just assuming random things, which you are

Yes i assume and what ? you are too.
Also i cant give the calculations but it is aproximately that yes with FTL drives to reach that galaxy then it would have weaponry and ships and it would be able to infect even more effective than they did with the forerunners.
You say its not hard...But it requires a specific level of evolution right ?
Answers your question.

I am assuming because i am saying 300-10,000 years is not enough time to infect a galaxy that has some 600 billions of stars and is a few hundred of thousand light years across?

I am assuming or do i actually know what i am talking about?

You can't give calculations but you swear that you are right and that it is enough time? It would take any ship a few hundred if not maybe a thousand years or so traveling at light speed to get to another galaxy. So unless you know exactly how fast FTL is then you can not assume or "approximate" anything.

Yes we dont know anything about ancient human but we can assume :).
They where same tier and at same tech level as foreruners..even higher since the forerunners had hard time fighting them and they also where fighting flood at the same moment making them to us as a very very strong empire most likely stronger that forerunners.

The forerunners at the end or maybe before the end of the war with flood reachedd TIER 0 meaning they can travel between galaxies super fast.

And what was the librarians doing ? The halo's ?
Also yes they didnt plan on using it but they've built it because they had fear and doubt.

I dont know about didact being in charge after that because it isnt stated in cryptum.

Also how would i know this all if i didnt read cryptum ? explain ?

We know that the forerunners travel very fast....it can be stated when stellar making iternal lasting or what even his name was travelled to the CAPITAL in a little time...
Also if the flood captured the orion arm in 300 years and orion arm is a big part of the galaxy then it would take 1,000 years.

Yes even light takes 100,000 years to reach our planet from the massive blackhole but as you stated we dont know exactly how fast forerunners tech travelled ...So its a even match....you cant actually prove me wrong nor can i do the same to you.

during the entire time in cryptum slipspace travel was thrown off. and i side they were infecting the orion arm i didn't say they fully infected the arm.

You are wrong because forerunner travel doesn't matter in this. The flood left prior to fighting the forerunners so that is 10,000 years. The 300 years they were here they were specifically attacking the forerunners.

If they were infecting the galaxy (like you think) why would they waste time fighting something? All they needed was one ship and they could have traveled far away to start infecting. Instead they chose to go after the forerunners.

The Flood are extra-galactic in origin. When we made first contact with them, their ships were reported as coming from the Magellinic clouds outside the milky way.

HOMEWORLD
(Extra-galactic[?])/
~first contact (G617g)


They could have been in other galaxies for millions, billions or trillions of years. The milky way could be surrounded by Flood-dominated galaxies.

Where do your mathematical calculations come from, by the way? Sounds like you're making stuff up again.

The magnellic clouds was an assumption since that was the closest area. we do not know exactly where they came from but everything points to it being created for a purpose of the milky way.

When did i make up stuff the first time? And i can go pull up the thread this was calculated about later tonight.
