There are four steps in the Flood evolution 1)Feral. There is no Gravemind, the flood just acts on instinct 2)Co-ordinated. A Grave-mind is formed. The flood uses strategic tactics 3)Inter solar. The flood uses space travel to other planets once a planet has been wiped 4) Inter-galactic. The flood has wiped out all life in a galaxy. It goes to another to begin infestation To have come to the milkyway galaxy, they should have wiped out another Galaxy[/quote] Which they did... and then were sent to Installation 04, where after the PoA blew up, they took over and came to Earth (inter-galactic travel). They took over another part of the Orion arm before going to the Forerunner's and taking much of it over.[/quote] So the flood wiped out an entire galaxy. I would consider that a pretty big win.[/quote] Almost an entire one, when the Forerunner's created the Rings, that's what stopped the Flood from dominating the Milky Way.[/quote] No. If you read my description to the flood evolutionary stages, I said that the flood only goes to other galaxys after one Galaxy has been consumed. Obviously the Flood must have consumed one galaxy to come to the Milky way
