They aren't "farming" I don't think the Heretics knew the flood where on that space station anyways.

Yes. One of those weirdy green panels are dislodged. Must've been where the Flood got out.

The aquarium housing the mini-Flood(looks like small Flood Carriers) in Oracle is bizzare.

Looks like the Forerunner simply cut and ran. Not all the Flood are contained on the Halos, it seems.

Im pretty sure that the heretics accidentally released the flood. Unless they wanted them as pets.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Ignorance is the true enemy of all things.

Rocking Bungie.net for over 8 years!

Actually the sentinals aboard the station are studying the flood on behalf of the forerunners.

The Heretics are just camping out there. I'd guess that some stupid heretic broke a flood containment vessel and got themselves infected. Then it spiraled out of control from there.

So that proves that the Flood are not only on the Halos but spread around the galaxy on the space stations.

The sentinals dont study flood. The sentinals only purpose is to act as sercurity incase of any flood outbreak. Also, that station was on the planet threshold which was where the first halo was near

Did you guys notice that at the start of the Oracle the Heretics were pretty Scarce. so mabye they only Just realized they were there.

OR

When the Heretics first arrived on the Station one of them (Out of Curiosity) Opened one of those Crate things and got infected, Then by some stroke of luck they managed to contain them in that area, But when the Covenat attacked the flood was released during battle.

Now that Explanes 2 things

1. That is why there is so much security around the Place were they mainly did resesarch (were you start @ The Oracle level)

2. Thats how the Flood Escaped. But why do we care we are just there to kill the Heretics, Not Clean up flood.

Or a flood controlled Phantom dropship flew down to the station after the Halo was destroyed and were quietly building themselves up before the Arbiter invaded.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

Either The Brutes released The Flood (to try to get rid of The Arbiter) or the Heritic Leader released The Flood so he could get away from the Arbiter!

A grunt triple dog dared another grunt to open up a flood container. Mystery solved.

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

but, what about that structure that the heretic base was hanging from, I mean, what was that thing doing, just hanging in threshold atmosphere. I mean what If that had a greater purpose?

maybe the heretic released the flood because he wanted to expose the lies of the prophets. Do we really know precisely who released the flood in Halo :CE?

if you look closley at the heritics why do they have those things in their mouths and 2 they look kinda flood infected maybe the gas the heritics were mining stops the flood infestation so those things in their mouths put gas into the flood infection stoping it for a short period of time soon they have to take it out put in a new one cause the heritic eleties did look a little greenish
