[quote]Do you believe they are flood, or something that could eradicate the flood and the flood follows them and their orders so that they may survive?[/quote]Was the Primordial Flood? I don't think so, at least not at first. The Graveminds we know of are definitely Flood. Besides, the Flood are the Precursors in some capacity. [i]"We are the Flood.
