Talk:Infinite Succor

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Well, how big is the Infinite Succor?

And secondly, if the Legate had locked down the ship, how did the flood spread throughout the ship before the spec ops team arrived?

And one last thing, where there any infection forms (rangers) that came with the brilliant gift, cause as far as I know, there weren't any, so how could have the flood spread?

No Rangers= Insufficent time for combat forms to transform to a carrier form, since the spec ops team responded in less than an hour?

Infection forms were inside the combat forms, though. Some could have left their hosts to infest the Grunts. --Dragonclaws 07:36, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
We don't know how big the Infinite Succor was, we only got one look at the ship, on the panel that is shown in the article. Before the SpecOps team arrived, the Flood crashed their ship into the bay, and were able to escape before the legate locked it down. Infection forms probably came with the combat forms on the brilliant gift, the flood never send combat forms anywhere by themselves. And more infection forms were probably made by the grunt crew members of the ship that were infected. The fight with Kusovai shows that the Flood can apparently mutate a host in a matter of seconds. -ED 20:25, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

What the hell? Its called the Infinite Succor? Succor? It should be bloody called "The Infinite Successor". Thats what I thought the name was before!Sauronas Churchill 08:33, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Succumbed also begins with succ-. Good thing you didn't call it the "Infinite Sucker".

I believe this type of ship is shown in the Halo Wars map, Release. Of the two crashed Covenant ships, one has a striking resemblance to this. --   Wr1ghty    talk    contribs    email   By G57 08:10, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Is the picture considerd canon?[edit]

There are several vessels next to the Infinite Succor, are they to be considered canon or artistic licence?

Even if they've never appeared since, there's no reason to think they aren't canon. --Courage never dies. (talk) 10:56, 26 March 2013 (EDT)

Wait, it's not Infinite Sucker?[edit]

I'm confused why my edit suggesting the "Infinite Succor" being a pun for "Infinite Sucker" was rejected so completely. As soon as I learned how "Succor" was pronounced, it seemed like an obvious pun. I know The Last Voyage of the Infinite Succor is more serious a story than the doodle about Master Chief's day off, but that doesn't preclude the author from making a joke. Is it because "Sucker" alludes to the degradation associated with performing oral sex on a man and people are repelled by the obscenity? Because American culture is almost entirely ignorant of that etymology, similar to "Wuss." You can see it cropping up on kids' shows all the time. It's not considered obscene, so I don't understand the knee-jerk reaction. --Dragonclaws(talk) 11:05, 1 December 2015 (EST)

Right... I click the button to play the audio and it sounds just like "Sucker..." hence why I called it a pun? http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pun --Dragonclaws(talk) 14:02, 1 December 2015 (EST)
"something that you do or give to help someone who is suffering or in a difficult situation"
I guess in a way the Covenant helped the Flood. :) Alertfiend - Team Chief 14:32, 1 December 2015 (EST)
I don't really see the pun? "Infinite Sucker" isn't really a common insult. Double entendre insults do exist in Halo (see "jir'aul") but this doesn't seem much like one of them. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 14:37, 1 December 2015 (EST)
I can see it. Kinda like the Prophets names being ironic. But it really is a push to think this. -CIA391 - Talk 21:09, 1 December 2015 (GMT)
I had to just think about how to pronounce it to see it. Alertfiend - Team Chief 16:26, 1 December 2015 (EST)
"Sucker" is, though? Like "Big sucker." It's like a schlimazel, which is what the ship is. /me shrugs. --Dragonclaws(talk) 03:23, 2 December 2015 (EST)
