Are the composed versions of the Prometheans and humans we fight on Requiem immune to the Flood's logic plague?
I initially thought they would be (being composed versions of organic minds, rather than AI in nature), however I recall Monitor Chakas mentioning something about fear of potential logic plague effects on him in Silentium (I could be wrong though, it's a while since I've read it).
If they were susceptible to the logic plague, it seems like a poor solution to the Flood on the original Didact's part.

I believe they are immune (or I believe the didact believes), else they wouldn't be much of a solution to the flood.
-
That is unknown. I'm attempting to find out. I've asked Catalog, I'm just waiting for a response.
-
Hope you get one, I'd quite like to find out!

They don't seem to have enough mental freedom for the logic plague to work. Kind of like sentinels who's very primitive ai (presumably) is too simple to be turned against its programming. I could be wrong on all accounts here that's just my own theory
-
Sentinels can be turned by the logic plague.
-
They can? Even the really weak ones?

-
Was that in silentium? I must have forgotten.
-
Plus, if the Prometheans were mentally equivalent to Sentinels and the like, what would be the point in composing the original organic mind into the Knight body? The Didact could've just made them without an organic mind. They must have some kind of capabilities in thought, creativity etc that the simpler ancillas don't.

Why weren't they?
-
They were.
-
Which ones? You sure their commanding monitor didn't get turned, and they're just following its orders?

No distinction was made.
