Not to my knowledge.

I'm no expert on Forerunner anything by any means, but shouldn't that work, at least in theory? The Composer more or less destroys select organic matter and collects the thoughts and memories of its victims, which are then converted into data. So with that in mind, couldn't the Composer have been set to target, say, Flood biomass? And once said biomass has been composed, wouldn't it be possible to just destroy the resulting data? Boom! Flood menace ended, Forerunners survive.
-
The composer is only effective against organisms with sufficient complexity. Any composed Flood forms would only be combat forms or anything of similar or greater complexity. The FSC and anything of that level would be unaffected. At that might, the Forerunners might as well just tuns their weaponry to not destroy their structures.
-
But…they already [i]did[/i] set at least some of their weapons to not do that. The Halo array, for example. Unless I'm just mistaken or an idiot and they actually do destroy Forerunner structures.
-
They don't, but the Composer is about as wide-scale as an energy projector. The composer won't target all the Flood, so if they don't want to destroy structures, they could just tune an energy projector to a setting where it won't destroy their buildings. Then you're doing the same job as what you proposed with less prep-work, work, and more deadly against the Flood.
-
But isn't that exactly what the Halos do?
-
Halo doesn't fire plasma, and if it did, tuning it to not damage structures and planets of any kind would make it worthless. Halo propels super-massive neutrinos that target neural networks at extreme superluminal speeds.
-
Ok. I wasn't exactly clear on the difference in firing mechanisms and functionality between Halo and the Composer beyond the obvious difference of one kills everything and the other just removes them from a physical plain of existence.
-
Well... Technically the Composer does kill you. And it replaces you with a frighteningly accurate copy.
