Subject: Is the Flood an organic version of the Forerunner Domain gone wrong?

Phazon Injected.

I have been away from this site for a long time so pardon me if this has already been discussed.

Something that caught my attention when I read Cryptum was how similar the Domain was with Gravemind. They are both a collection of memories from the dead.

Do you guys think that the species that engineered the Flood, if it was ever unnaturally engineered in the first place, form it as a living version of the Forerunner Domain?

I am not confirming anything as true. I'm just pointing out that there is a coincidence. Maybe the Flood was never intended to be so voracious and genocidal. Maybe it was meant to be passive and only consume the minds of the dead?

Just curious what others may think of this...

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

Interesting concept.

I still don't understand why Bias absorbed the domain when the flood didn't do much with that information.

he got rid of the domain because that was what the forerunners used to communicate super quickly. It was used to really hurt the forerunners ability to fight back

If I remember correctly it specifically states the domain wasn't used for communication because the messages get erased or changed.

Regardless if that was the reason or not it still leaves him with all of that knowledge and the knowledge of this "precursor".
