I love how when a mod does not interfear, the fans can cover many topics on one topic. :)
Anyways, The gravemind is what the plant flood is called. He is by far the most adavaced of the parisetic nightmare. I remember way back, that the flood have a calective mind, its slow and not as efficent as one single mind, but it is all one. It learns by obsorbing its host's thoughts and knolodge. It does this by ofsetting the Humans Nervis system's electronic pulses. When Sargent Jonson got infected, and then had the radiation exposed to him, it damaged the spores, and effectivly changed his bio-rythims, thus the flood can not consum his body, and control his mind. But we dont know how much the flood can see from him, and since the spores are in his body, if they were to ever regain what they lost, could turn him into a flood. Sargent Johnson is going to be the biggest surprize of them all if the story is going to continue where halo 2 left off. Thats my personal opinion. *Note, this is all from memory of a long time ago debating and reading about halo. Some things could be wrong. Sorry for that if thats the case.*
What I dont get, is if i was correct about the flood, then the forrunners could have stopped them. Just alter your body to make it impossible for the flood to consume it. Unless The flood was a product of the Forrunners, and that it was another tool they created to unleash on one another; a weapon if you will. In this case, it could back fire on them, and while one side would be consumed, the other would make beter verions of the flood to counter the other side wiping them out. It could explain why the forrunners worked so hard to study the flood. Or it could be that the forrunners found the flood on a water planet. (see level 5 of the gass planet where the flood spores swam in the tank.) They brought it back to studdy, but an acident happened, and the flood spread. Because of there capibilitiy to read ones thoughts, the flood had acsess to the forrunners weapons systems, and thus used it against them on. It must have been fast, like in a 7 year war, because knowing the Forruners intellegence, they would have found a way to counter the flood. When they saw it was going to be to late, they build 7 rings to cover the galaxy, and a few ships left the galixy when the rings were activated. The Forrunners then sent the ark in twords earth. They proberly re planted the other aliens on there planets, and went away. Now, the forruners had the means to study the flood, and they were contained. So once the "reclaimers" set foot in the rings, after the knolodge of the ark, they could put an end to the flood, and all would be fine. To bad the aliens had there own intentions with there tools. Again, a lot of this is speculation, but it all could be a possible cause for such a tragic event of the forrunners. But wat about Gravemind? Could it be that the flood send all the bodies to 05 so that one collective hid could feed on them till the arival of another sentent creature? I don't know, but it could explain why this flood can take complete control over the monitar. Any thoughts?
