Talk:Boren's Syndrome

Is it actually fake? I know that it was used as a cover for Johnson but i didn't think the disease was fake. Dr. Halsey wouldn't have fallen for a fake disease, so Borons must exist and have been a good enough excuse for non assimulation by the Flood. 217.42.247.171 16:16, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

Yup, it's fake. It was stated to be fake in the Halo Encyclopedia, which also stated that all the Spartan-Is were said to have the illness to cover up their augmentations and involvement in the project. - File:Black Mesa.jpg Halo-343 (Talk) (Contribs) (Edits) 16:22, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

Also, there's the fact that Halsey is, first and foremost, a scientist. She was working with all the available data she had, that being the Paris/BS Spoof. Had she actually had the time and equipment, I'm sure she would have found out that Johnson didn't really have Boren's Syndrome. --Do not insult me. 00:42, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

There's this one thing I've been wondering, and that is how does being a Spartan-I make one immune to the Flood? Even if Johnson had augmentations, how does that counteract the Flood infection? Is it just a some kind of weird coincidence, with the UNSC "accidentally" creating a total immunity to the Flood. Or is there something I'm missing here? --Jugus 20:48, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

According to what Halsey said, it could be because the infection forms can't find a match for... something. Perhaps it's because their biology is so messed up the Flood doesn't recognize their physiology and the supercells can't infect them. I know I'm probably missing something, but it's all conjecture at this point, so there's no reason to truly debate it. --Do not insult me. 20:52, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
