Also to add down galaxies move away from each other ...at random speeds and most common is 300 km/s i counted that in 100,000 years such galaxy (our) moved away from another on 94608000000000 kilo meters thats 10.000073491 light years....might not sound much but it sure hell gets the distance down....infact there are galaxies that are only 10 light years.
Meaning to say that our galaxy was closer to all other galaxies by 10 light years 100,000 years ago.
Also as you said the flood would not be able to reach another galaxy by the time it came back...well:
The flood where losing to AHE yes but they still had a pretty powerfull force that was going to hold off for sometime...
When they left the galaxy im sure they didnt leave all in small amount ...and you said they settled down near our galaxy and then came back after 10k years because they couldnt EVEN reach a galaxy (wrong though).....Well following your theory they couldve just send a few forreruner ships into multiple galxies and the rest would rebuild near our galaxy and eventually come back...
The ones who left would infect other galaxies while the ones they left near milky way fight for milky way.
It would be logical for a such clever creature such as a gravemind to do this to insure the survival of flood as this was their first infection (your theory {not prooven}).
Please try to understand me...I might have bad grammer or something like that because i have never really talked about such subject.
What the hell?
The flood didn't have a powerful force once the cure was found hence them taking some battered remains and leaving.And you keep bringing up forerunner ships during a time were the flood DIDN"T encounter the forerunners, so everything your saying is inaccurate because your forcing that "fact" on it. So i will say it again If you read cryptum you would understand that the flood didn't encountered the forerunners until AFTER they resettled human worlds.
So the whole premise of "they could have gotten forerunner ships" IS wrong because the forerunners didn't even know they existed at that time. Fact.
Not to mention that majority of the flood outbreak occurred within the milky way on resettled worlds; So you have 2 infestations happening at the same time. You have the major outbreaks happening within forerunner space on old human worlds the you have the flood reappearing from outside the galaxy and attacking the boarders.
2 infestations that do not have a clear point of origin. So betting every little thing on the flood returning is wrong because some of the flood never left. They were just hidden on the abandoned worlds.
The more important question is if they both attacked at the same time.Not necessarily where did it come from.
Wow i didnt know that one such small mistake could make you so angry...i just confused AHE ships with forerunner ones...
Also how do you know about the second outbrake ? that they came from old human worlds ?
And in what way is that important ?
I mean seriosly if the flood did actually infest another galaxy which is (most likely) 110,000 years ago then they would be doing the same on other galaxies for a long time...And the important thing is that once the flood in milky way is defeated (meaning that every cornor should be searched which is why i say they are invincible) the humans and covenant should search for them on nearby galaxies that even at FTL are reachable in 100,000 years because there is a risk that flood might reside there and if it does then there is a chance that it resides somewhere else...That is why flood is invincible and that is why the humans and covenant should search every planet on every galaxy that is reachable by 100,000 years using FTL drives.
Or just using halo's (thought i dont know how they would transport it to another galaxy) on every empty galaxy that is uninhabital because who knows maybe once there was a great war with the residing creatures of that galaxy which led to extinction of those creatures and the imprisment of flood on some planets of that galaxy.
It is a significant mistake you have been making since the beginning, hence my frustration. I know about it because it was in the book that you "supposedly" read. Didact clearly states that the flood were showing up on resettled worlds and i believe this is before the attack on Seaward.
Do you know what the word "invincible" means? Just because you can not find something doesn't mean it is invincible; seriously, that is a gross misuse of Grammar.
There is nothing to suggest that the flood are out infecting other galaxys when they seem to target this one. let me break it down since nobody understands.
The "flood" arrive in the galaxy on old automated ships. The Idiot humans and San Shyuum foolishly feed this extragalactic powder to pets who mutate into the flood. Interesting enough it with and between humans faster than San Shyuum.
The Flood go dormant and some leave blah blah blah.
Now this outbreak is targeting forerunners specifically instead of just blindly infecting the galaxy. A true infection would spread far and wide as it could, not waste time fighting.
And since nowadays people believe everything that is said in a book without thinking for themselves this is what is meant by "our answer is at hand".
In that context the flood was meant to wreak have on the milky way.
That is why i do not support this whole "The flood infected a galaxy then came back" crap, because it doesn't make since. If the flood could easily infect a galaxy in whatever amount of time why wouldn't they infect all the local galaxys, Ambush the Sh** outta the milky way then move to Andromeda and beyond?
Instead they possibly cause a minor infecting in one galaxy then return? Ether you are an idiot for saying that makes sense or you are just promoting bad story development Because they wouldn't return like that unless they had an ulterior motive or purpose.
The Humans and Elites do not have the capability to even leave the Orion arm. So how the hell could they travel to another galaxy? FTL does not mean you can go wherever you like because the Humans are still greatly limited by it. You really need to brush up on your canon.
Woah woah woah, who said anything about the Flood infecting another galaxy before returning to the Milky Way. The point is that the Flood comes from an extra-galactic origin. Their level of growth and development outside our galaxy is unknown, but it is a very safe assumption that if they could expand out into our galaxy in the first place, then they must have been a pretty powerful force.
Unless of course, The Precursors created the Flood. Then, that is a completely different ball game.
