Not to mention, the flood even LOOKS like fungus. I mean...look at the combat forms...hell, they've got roots growing out of their chests...

I think one of the reasons the forerunners didn't see the long hibernation is because they couldn't keep them starved long enough for them to do that. For if they had then they wouldn't have had to activated the rings

*note*: you spelled forerunner wrong

and thats what the halo rings were made to do, but they didint do there job and there are still flood, the forunners failed at life, literally

Posted by: HexiDecimator
maybe you should listen to cortana.
"the only way to kill the flood is to starve them to death."


I remember hearing about a little thing called..... The Ark

If the Ark does indeed protect against the effects of Halo, then some species could have been saved.

The point of the Ark was to be able to active all of the Halos from one location (Earth). And that the way they are arranged is so that the Halo blasts will not even hit Earth

We don't know how the Halos are arranged. If they are supposed to kill all sentient life with sufficient biomass, then anything on the Ark would also most likely be destroyed.

I have read where people have done the math and came up with the most logical conclusion and that was with Earth not getting hit. Plus Earth is a very remote location in the galaxy and proably the flood didn't know about it. Also 343 always referred to the humans as reclaimers which could only be the forerunner. If Earth was hit how could the humans even possible resimble the forerunners if they were killed.

Thats why it is so remote that the flood couldn't find it

This apple is brown, and rotten. This orange on the other hand, is in relatively average shape. So the orange is definitely the preferable option.
----------You can't compare apples and oranges. You're so dumb.

The Ark was a ship that Noah took activating the halos. Then after halo recedeeded he procceeded to the library to bring back life threw DNA sequences stored in the library. Also yes the flood do look like fungus in every way as well. Also on high charity after they take over there is large amounts of fungus growing all over the walls and the ground likely feeding off of the metal.

P.S What logic do you speak of? the logic that advoids bungie quotes and common sense . A reclaimer and a forerunner are to different words all together. I present you with facts ( the flood are fungus) I present you with a logical explanation of how life was reestablished so fast (based upon a quote from a unknwon bungie employee). I also present you with a bungie quote telling you the forerunners no longer inhabit our galaxy. Yet you continue to be ignorant and say humans are forerunners is the only explanation? I wonder some times if humanity sees how often it bends fact and common sense to suite it's needs or wants. I gurantee you humans are not the forerunner and im pretty sure Noah was a s'pht.

The most logical conclusion is that Earth would get hit, becuase it was only 60 Light Years away from the nearest Halo.

Even where people have "done the math" to try and figure out where the Halos are, they based that math off a big assumption:

Each Halo has a firing distance of 25,000 lightyears (I think that's why 343GS says, correct if wrong please). The only one we know for sure that has that range is Halo 04, the one we destroyed in Halo: CE. Since we don't know if this is true, any math done to predict where the Halos are actually at cannot be proven.

That wouldn't work because if the ship was flown near a halo it would have awaken the flood and he would be over run

Did you put one Halo in the middle and the rest in a starish pattern

He says 3 radii from the galactic center ( or 25,000 light years outside our galaxy and anything inside that circle). So in other words earth si not no safe haven it's just idiots making up bull -blam!- .

I dont think the forerunners would risk something like that. If the flood got it what would stop them from storing food.

Im tring to find the post on the poitioning of the halos

Parasites don't need to be bugs, by any means. They can be anywhere in size from microbes (we don't usually count bacteria) up to five metre long intestinal parasites. They can be as developmentally advanced as lamprey (a 20-30 cm long fish that looks a bit like an eel with a ring of tiny teeth, which it uses to latch on to and feed from the body of its host - these are scary looking suckers) - at least, this is how it goes in reality. The Flood are just a few hops up the evolutionary ladder.

I don't think that the Halos' inability to kill the Flood is a mistake. It's an intentional plot device. Surprise! It's not the only one. There are a number of ways that this could be scientifically rationalised, but really - who cares? The point is to be horrified by the true purpose of the magestic Halo ring worlds. They kill us.

All you would need are 3 males and 3 females to atleast keep a balance in the gene pool and it would be easy to pull some from outer lying colonies...

Reverse engineered forerunner tech compose pretty much everything in the Covie arsenal...

in other words, yes, they did have plasma...

3x3 would still lead to some inbreeding. If I remember correctly, I believe that you would need something like 4-5 generations between each other to have a significant chance to not cause severe genetic disorders due to inbreeding (note, this does not mean normal disorders can't occur). I would think something along to lines of maybe 15-20 of each gender, at the least, would be needed to insure a stable genetic variance.

I think what the Forerunners did was the most logical and practical decision. I dont think this decision was decided quickly. I think the Forerunners thought long and hard about it.

Also the halos fire radiation and it is hard to stop radiation.

so why didnt they know about the overdose of plasma? or maybe their bodies were different?

but that would mean humans arnt forerunner! OMG!

Radiation doesn't travel very fast, and it can't penetrate certain substances/materials. This would make it impractical for a galactic-scale weapon.

They probably have advanced medical technology if they can at least attempt to study the flood...

Or maybe no one really wants an overdose of plasma radiation...
