      My theory is that he got kill while banging on the door to escape(like in many horror movies) but he was never infected as he would be later used as bio mass for the proto gravemind. Notice that the Master Chief was carrying his body for a split second. pointed his gun around for a bit and left the body on the ground before exploring the rest of the room. But when you came back, his body is nowhere to be seen.

    The question I've always wanted an answer to is: why aren't the highly advanced combat skins of ancient Humans and Forerunners effective at keeping out a life form like a Flood spore? I mean, these suits are essentially tanks built to withstand heavy damage from advanced weapons fire and keep out hard vacuum and extreme temperatures for extended times. You would think the absolute LEAST they should be able to do is keep out organic lifeforms.

  • @corynthius8860
    @corynthius8860 Před 7 lety +64

    I honestly believe the flood infection can't be properly cured. Due to the unique way it was created (that being literal star dust that a precursor broke itself down into that decayed over thousands of years) it's far beyond what we would call an infection in our modern day tech. A lounge time ago, the precursors were at war with the Forerunners because the Forerunners wanted the mantle of responsibility, which was given to the humans. One by one the precursors were dying, despite being so damn powerful so one precursor decided to avoid this conflict and broke himself down into dust so that he would be able to recollect himself in the future, and wether he knew it or not, the dust would decay over the years and would turn into the flood parasite, and then he would be reformed into the Gravemind.
    The Gravemind's consciousness is literally a reincarnated version of the precursor, and the flood is also a part of that reincarnation. This also explains why a Gravemind collects knowledge through it's victims because once a person has become a flood form, all their memories and knowledge becomes part of the flood consciousness. This also explains why if a Gravemind dies, a new one can be made and the previous Gravemind's knowledge transfers to the newer one. This means that the flood NEVER stop learning and advancing and this, combined with the strength of the flood, is one of the reasons why the forerunners lost the war to the flood.
    That's why the flood and the Gravemind are so deadly, they can communicate with each other in the most perfect way, their minds. Because the flood IS just one mind. That's why they all do have ONE goal. Because all forms of the flood is literally the same being, all down to the microscopic level.
    In Halo 3, the flood advance to a higher stage of their lethality, meaning they've infected enough to advance to the next stage of infectivity. You know about this when you hear a certain one said by an elite - "...the flood, it has evolved." The flood tank forms in Halo 3 (or more properly known as a flood super cell or FSC) can shape shift because its 'muscles' can think. The microbes that transmit the flood parasite have their own consciousness and trying to cure a being that has lived for hundreds and thousands of years and is extremely intelligent can be a bit of a problem.
    It took me years to fully grasp the concept of the flood and I'm still not sure if I got it all down.
    I love the flood...

    @HawkTheRed Před 7 lety +68

    if the primary way of infection is the nervous system, then really, you need to only do one of two thing, either completely replace the nervous system or find a way to fully protect it. I have theories on both that are within reason.
    for replacement, you could replace the major parts (spinal nervous system, brain stem, heart, etc) with fiber optics that can do the same job. as far as I know, there's no real way for the flood to infect basically a tube of light.
    Another way is to protect it. The way I think we can do that is by introducing a artificial virus with DNA/RNA instructions for cells to make either protein wall or a carbon wall around all of the nervous system. I don't know if it'll really stop the infection fully, but it'll make it a hell of alot harder.
    these are my theories, again, I tried to put it within reason for 500 years into the future

      true, but at least the bodies wont be used against you, plus, the infection form has to attach itself to the spinal cord to attack the nervous system before it really starts to decay the host. As far as I know, there really isn't a case of a infection form turning the host into a biomass before it attacks the nervous system.

      how would we get fiber optics to replace our brain. i can understand the heart and nervous system etc. but the brain could be destroyed in the process. would we even be the same if we were alive. i cant help but think amnesia would follow because your brain perceives memories as a series of electrical discharges between cells. the brain cant transfer how to interpret those impulses to a machine that perceives life in a different fashion. whereas our brain discards those useless or undervalued memories involuntarily, wouldn't fiber optics mandate a data bank that has limits and needs constant attention? (even halo follows along those lines with how AI are made) look at AI in halo, they need the bare minimum of a suit of MJOLNIR to live at least and they can go rampant and succumb to the flood (the logic plague).

    The Spartan II project's augmentations also provided not only avoidance by flood forms but also immunity, as in Halo The Flood book the Chief is struck by an infection form's proboscis, and as showed in the short series The Mona Lisa, we are shown that mere flesh to flood biomass contact can cause the infection to spread.

    • @hydragames3438
      @hydragames3438 Před 5 lety +7

      no , Spartans aren't immune to the flood, in I think the fall of reach or the flood book, during CE a infection form laches onto him and ripped open his skin through the armour and almost infected him , because he still has a nervous system and the only reason it was stopped was because cortana overloaded the chiefs shield that created and electric pulse that saved him

      @rowanbell7353 Před 5 lety +2

      The only reason why Spartans are avoid for infection is because their armor and shield. Other than that they are vulnerable to infection as well. Either way they will be infected with enough time.

    I’m not kidding, I have a cure:
    The Flood’s reliance on neural physics is both their advantage and their downfall. The objective of the Precursors was to pass the Mantle of Responsibility to humans. Although humans don’t know how to use the Star Roads, the Flood do. Since the Flood were created from biological modifications of animals from feeding the ground up Precursors and it changed their genetics, feed it to the Flood so their genetics change. Allow a Gravemind to develop from these changed Flood forms, and have them inflict war on themselves. The new Flood species aid humanity in defeating their ancestors by giving the gift of knowledge of the Star Roads. Star Roads are the “Mantle of Responsibility” and gives humans control over the universe. We then find out about other universes and how “The Meddlers” indirectly involved themselves in events throughout the Halo universe as a small attempt to keep the Flood from spreading to their universe.
    Calling it all now. You’re welcome 👍🏻

      They can actually eat through it. I'm the second halo book, aka The Flood, a flood spore ate through the mjiolnir armor of the chief, already poking around in his back with the tentacles and only Cortana actually overloading the shield fried it and saved him.

      @lucajohnen6719 Před 6 lety

      MR AD can't remember, but I am pretty sure it went rather quick.
      But energy shields don't activate unless you have either a larger big force or high momentum. The mjiolnir armor already is an exception since it was created from reversed enginieered jackal shields which are constantly active, but even then the flood spore was able to jump onto the armor and simply ignore the shield as it didn't trigger it.
      Basically the only reason why you loose shield against infection forms in the game is because the shield gets overloaded to grill the infection form

    • @lucajohnen6719
      @lucajohnen6719 Před 6 lety

      This is ofc to not waste shield energy constantly as every connection you make with anything (slamming into a wall, being touched etc would trigger the shield). When chief first got the Mark V he even stated that when he increased the sensibility of the shield activation he could feel that he was 'swimming' on the ground as the shield activated between his feet and the ground.

    @keithkillner500 Před 7 lety

    The problem with the side-effect of the Orion project is that it only impedes Infection Form infections. Infections via Flood spore are not affected as that type of infection converts existing cells into Flood cells. As we all know, spore infection would be much more common that that of infection forms so really you need a way to prevent the conversion of genetic material into Flood genetic material.

    being significantly more difficult to infect would be very helpful. the flood can't bolster their ranks on the fly and infections forms can be taken out during the process, making saving squadmates a possibility that wasn't one before. if it took, say, a few days to infect instead of a few moments, the flood would be pretty fucked because they only make gains when they win.

    I noticed a problem here, regarding Sergeant Johnson's immunity. It wasn't due to his status as an ORION subject. It was due to a psychological mutation caused by nearby detonation of a number of plasma grenades. It was cureable, but Johnson never took the full course, meaning his mental structure was screwed up. This is explained in one of the books (I forget which, but I think it was First Strike.) Nut I dunno. Maybe it's changed.
