Ok now i know this answer is probably staring me straight in the face but im not sure so here goes.
Well i was reading the piece of news about series 8 of the halo action figures and i took a look at the caption under the new MC/infection form models, this is what it says :
Spartan 117, the Master Chief, first encountered the alien parasite known as the “Flood” on the Halo ring. The Master Chief’s Mjolnir armor provided barely enough protection for him to survive the Flood’s indiscriminate attacks on his marine companions and Covenant forces alike.
The Flood “super-cell” feeds on cadavers’ calcium stores to produce its most basic incarnation, the “infection form.” Small and vulnerable to most projectile and energy weapons, infection forms overwhelm their prey by attacking en masse. They bore into victims with a rasping tongue and quickly transform foes into robust Flood “combat forms.”
Now the bottom part interested me, the infection forms use the calcium stores in the dead bodies to turn into an infection form. My question is, if the halos wipe out all life except the flood, whats to stop the flood from just taking over all the bodies of the victims from the halos?
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, wasnt sure where it would go.
Thanks,
