The process of Flood infection is mysterious at best. No surviving samples have ever been delivered to Earth for analysis. What little knowledge we have gleaned from battlefield investigations hints at a parasitic life form that prefers a host with large calcium stores, but requires a sentient host to reach its full maturation. f a human is infected, swelling, limb dislocation and rapid putrefaction affect the victim. The Flood will reshape the effectively dead host, and can reuse the cadaver in a matter of seconds. Human victims appear to make useful combat forms, and retain many of their pre-infection motor skills – including the ability to use weapons. They are considered deadly and should be destroyed on sight
