The Flood (The Waters of Mars)
The Flood were a viral species of unknown origin, which existed on the planet Mars.
Biology
The only thing known about the Flood's natural state is that it exists in water and can infect other lifeforms. One drop is enough to infect someone.
Once a lifeform has been infected, it constantly produces water; the liquid dribbles out of the host's mouth and soaks through their clothes. It can produce further water to break through barriers and locks, and blast high-pressure sprays from their mouths and arms. The infected hosts show parched, cracked mouths, blackened teeth, and, after a while, faded blue eyes. Other areas appeared to be slightly cracked as well, such as the forehead (visible on Andy Stone). Infection takes place quickly, but the Flood can cover up the physical symptoms for a short period of time. Amazingly, the infected hosts were capable of surviving on the surface of Mars without any form of lifesupport assistance. This was believed to be attributed to the fission reactions caused by the viral organisms and was seen with the cracked lips around the hosts mouth.
It proved capable of coordinated action despite being scattered, indicating it can communicate telepathically. It cannot communicate verbally once infection has manifested itself(however it can communicate verbaly,and was shown to in English, while the infection was manifesting itself). The infected can emit high-pitched screams, capable of cracking open ice.
