The Flood is a parasitic superorganism driven by a singular goal: the unification of all life. This involves consuming all organic matter, eliminating individual autonomy. It is relentless, feeling no pain or mercy, only hunger. The Flood's origins trace back millennia, its initial appearance marked by ancient starships carrying a dormant form. This evolved into a devastating parasite, destroying ancient civilizations. Its patient nature allows it to lie dormant until a suitable opportunity arises to spread its influence. The story begins with the Flood's arrival on your world, scattered remnants of an ancient starship unleashing the parasite. You must decide: fight a losing battle or attempt to escape before the Flood's complete assimilation.
