:#Paragraph breaks are awesome and help to combat what I call the "TL;DR Effect". I did read your comment, but had I not read it via the Diff, I might not have read it at all due to the sheer size. | :#Paragraph breaks are awesome and help to combat what I call the "TL;DR Effect".

:#Both forms are created using the same method. Merge a bunch of infected bodies and you've got the beginnings of your so-called "[[Brain Form|Pilot Form]]". Merge a bunch of infected bodies and you're [[Proto-Gravemind|well on your way]] to making [[Gravemind|gravy]]. | :#Both forms are created using the same method.

:#"Flood Captain" could well be a prototypical name, or could have been derived from Captain Keyes' contribution to the form. Hell, it could refer to Keyes himself -- the form might not have been named a Flood Captain but instead a [[Flood]] [[Captain Keyes|Captain]]. | :#"Flood Captain" could well be a prototypical name, or could have been derived from Captain Keyes' contribution to the form.

:#A Proto-Gravemind could easily be a delegation mechanism. It may be possible that once a main Gravemind has formed, Proto-Graveminds will continue to be instructed, but only to deal with narrow tasks, under the Gravemind's leadership. The Gravemind has compared himself to a computer network before (in the [[Terminals]], when he tells [[Mendicant Bias]] that "you need only look at your own [[Wikipedia:Network topology|[network] topology]]" to see the similarities), and he may very well act like one. Specifically, he could be a [[Wikipedia:Network topology#Star|star network]], with each individual Flood form acting as a [[Wikipedia:Node (networking)|node]], and Proto-Graveminds acting as hubs. | :#A Proto-Gravemind could easily be a delegation mechanism.

:#*Say he needs to command a group of five Flood forms. He ''may'' do this by sending five sets of commands to one Form, who relays it to the others. This is actually how the Internet works -- you don't send your data to Halopedia; you send it to one computer, which relays it to another, which relays it to another, ..., which relays it to Halopedia. | :#*Say he needs to command a group of five Flood forms.
