== Johnson and the Flood ==

::I agree - it was the ORION augments. We know that Flood spores have the power to infect potential hosts, though both Johnson and John-117 have shown no reaction as of yet. When the flood spores were recovered by humans, they initially took years to take effect, though that was most likely linked to a degenerative state (weakened by the years without food on the intergalactic journey). We next see it jump from animal to person, and then from person to person rapidly, with the mutations becoming visible. Being attacked by the "revived" flood forms (that is, recovered from the degenerative conditions), we should have seen a fairly quick reaction in both John and Johnson; we do not. The only thing that links these two together is that they have been augmented.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 12:17, 28 October 2011 (EDT)

Although it's pretty clear Johnson has become immune to Flood infection, Forerunner, I don't think we can say John-117 has the same immunity. If that were the case, infection forms wouldn't bother attacking John, and the player wouldn't have to worry about being attacked and/or killed by them during gameplay. Halsey would have also tested the same result in John as well if that were the case.

I haven't read ''The Flood'', though I have read ''First Strike'', but I thought the prevention of the infection form attacking him wasn't from what appeared to be an immunity, but because Cortana fried it using the suit's electronics? All I remember about John's wound in ''First Strike'' is him saying it still stung and how close a call it was, but I don't have my copy and can't seem to find the passage on Google books. Perhaps there is a connection passage, I just don't remember it, but it would be good if you cite it. Still, infection forms still kill you when you touch them unshielded in the games.

:They're too stupid for that; they'll just keep trying. That's why Johnson had to fight his way out - they didn't simply let him go because he wasn't tasty. @Tucker, that's just a game mechanic- Bungie has never developed an enemy AI that can only deal damage on certain AIs, leaving you safe. Canon-aside, the infection forms still kill you, even though they don't seem to be able to penetrate your armour.--'''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 10:10, 30 October 2011 (EDT)

With Primordium it explained that no one is immune to the flood. it merely chooses when and when not to infect. could this happened to Johnson?[[User talk:Weeping Angel|Weeping Angel]] 14:56, 20 March 2012 (EDT)

:I think that's unlikely: Unlike Keyes, there is nothing particularly special about Johnson from a strategic point of view. He doesn't know the coordinates of whole planet's-worth of potential hosts, which was why Keyes was kept alive. If anything, the Flood would be even more likely to try to infect him, thinking "Big tough soldier = Bigger and tougher combat form!"--[[User talk:The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari|The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari]] 15:16, 20 March 2012 (EDT)

:Firefight voice. Canonically, he was at Gamma Station during the latter stages of the Fall of Reach.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}}
