You still have Shivan troops in close quarters combat. Every time that happens, there's a risk of infection. You still have Flood on your ship, infecting your air circulation.
Lol. You could always beam them to death from a far range. Seriously, if you could beat the crap out of the Flood as a marine, being much more biological than a Shivan, how can Shivans lose against the Flood?
I repeat: Have you read the Halo books? Unless you now prove otherwise, I am going to be forced to assume you know exactly zero about how the Flood works. When you play as John in the Halo games, take a good look at the Marines around you. They have a bad habit of
dying and becoming more Flood. It happens with stressing regularity, assuming you've actually got friendlies in the area. If you'd listen to the in-game radio chatter, you'd hear the wails and shrieks of
complete and utter terror as Marine outposts are overrun in
seconds. Am I being clear at all? In close combat, the Flood wins,
especially in confined ships quarters.
What about this. Flood infects Transport. Infected Transport docks with Sath. Sath gets infected. Fun time for everyone!
What about this. Sathanas launches fighters and terminate the transport 4 clicks from the Sath with Trebuchets. Fun time for everyone!
What about this. Sathanas doesn't know that transport is infected. Infected Transport docks with Sath. Sath gets infected. Fun time for everyone.
You have a canon source for that? Didn't think so. To reiterate: Without knowing how Shivans would react to the Flood, or any disease, this whole thing is pretty much pointless.
FreeSpace wiki, of course.
No, you don't have a source for that, because anything Halo-verse-ish has never been encountered in FreeSpace. We do not know if they can be infected. Seeing as they are at least semi-biological, I'm going with yes. Prove me wrong.
Plus, whose side are you on anyway?
I say that Shivans will probably beat the Covenant and maybe even the Flood, but you, Marcov, need to learn the difference between fact and conjecture.
The only time I ever showed a sign of conjecture was when I said that Shivans wouldn't probably defect to the Flood, since they're half-cybernetic.
And when you said the Shivans would just beam everything to death, because they're obviously the next best thing to omnipotent in that regard. Oh, and when you said that it's impossible for the Flood to board a hundred Juggernauts. Or when you said, of all things, that Shivans would win
against a disease in close combat.
