This is an interesting idea, and one that i have exercised many times, but one thing doesn't work... The ring or Halo Installation 04, went KABLEWY. The "Brain Form", as you call it was a Gravemind, but not the same one you encounter in the later installment of Halo 2. The Gravemind on Halo Installation 05 is very advanced and matured in comparison with the form that is Captain Keyes. This is because the flood were released on Halo Installation 05 eons before the accidental release on Halo Installation 04. If you read the books, which I believe you have, you will remember that the parasite that invaded the soldier who eventually is captured and sent for testing, is degenerated because of incredible lengths of hibernation. If the flood on Installation 05 were unable to travel across the Galaxy even though they had a much greater collective intelligence, what hope would the degenerative flood infection forms on Installation 04 have of doing the same. Your hypothesis is simply impossible.
