Well the whole talk about spores and mutateing of dna you get all that info from 343 guilty spark (the monitor/ flying thing) and while your in the libary fighting off the flood he yaps on about how geuinies the floods way of takeing a host and yaps on about spores and mutation couldnt here it all since i was trying not to die. but if you have time play that level and listen to it all.

Yeti was referring to how the infection forms insert their tentacles into the spinal chord of their victims, essentially taking the place of the victim's brain as the head of the nervous system. This way, they can completely take control of the victim's body. (This is the mistake I made writing this one. At that time, I was not aware of how they took over). And Akyho, we were both right in terms of how the Flood actually changes their victims. Even though the infection forms take over the bodies, they still release some form of virus into the bloodstream of the victim, causing mutations in DNA, which in turn cause the tentacles, sensory apendages, and even the pushing back of the head of Elites to get it out of the way for more sensory appendages.

Uhh going by the game (not fully undertsanding the things here)but the elites do turn because if you look at there feet the bigger ones here similer to elite. also you can see the head of the lite fused to the shoulder and looking at the back. unkless yous knew this and are talking about somthing completly diffrent.

Oh, and it would be impossible for the mutations of the Flood to take place merely through the infection forms literally taking control of their hosts' central nervous systems. There must be some sort of virus that it released into the bloodstream of the victim in order for the genetic makeup of the host to be so dramatically altered. From that, I can safely say that the Flood do inject a DNA or RNA virus into their hosts as well, which integrate themselves in the DNA of various body cells, essentially changing the DNA. So, at least part of my story idea was correct.

When I wrote this story (check the date) I had no idea that an Elite could not turn into a Flood combat form. Recently, I read Halo: The Flood, and updated my facts in my newest story (The Darkness: An Elite's Tale). I merely inferred that since it was a virus that it could be spread like normal viruses.

um, well any one who has checked out a website that has much info on it, will realise that the elite can NOT turn into the flood because the spore/infection flood has to stay in the body of the victem to control it. (DUH) otherwise in the game every time you were wounded by a flood spore you would turm into a flood, and that doesnt happen right? Of course it doesn't. so basicly, going by the info on flood on the internet, the elite wont mutate into a flood. so please, reseach your facts first

Also, in my first story, The Furious Hatred, you will notice that the main character's last name is Daksiratt and he is an Elite. I think that the endings of their last names reflect the region that they were born and/or raised in. Not to sure about that, but hey, that's why its called fan fiction, right?

Glad you guys liked it. To answer Swede's question, I don't think all Elites have 'ee' at the end of their last names. I'm not sure, but I think most Elites from different parts of their planet(s) have different endings to their last names.

Great story... I have read many on this board, and this was one of the first to have a truly eerie chill to it... keep up the good work! (and write another)

Great story! But wouldn't the elite have a last name that ends with an '-ee' ? Something like Sorrka Lorta'kkee?
