Re: Log5_Transcript General Discussion

I dunno, I don't think you can have a galactic-spanning-super-awesome-empire-able-to-make-Halo-weapons without some faster-than-light ships. Plus a million year conflict would get boring quick.

Re: Log5_Transcript General Discussion

W3rd. One other thing I wanted to start bringing up: apparently Earth in "an anomalous world". Are we anomalous because we have no Flood? Are we actually creative, unlike those stinking imitating Prophets? Or is it still something else? That's the anomaly I think. We were evolving fast. M...

Re: Log5_Transcript General Discussion

But Delta Halo was out of control, we didn't have time no matter what the Covenant did. Heck, if it wasn't for them the Cole Protocol wouldn't have been ordered and the Flood could have found us faster (though absorbing the humans could likely still do this...) I don't buy the idea that we are someh...

Re: MB05032 General Discussion

I see the resembalance, but wheres the funky 'J' symbol in the terminal circle? Dunno, sorta subscribe to the theory that these are the terminals that you have to collect in the game. Collect for what- /shrug. Of course, it could be a super-monitor, or the monitor of Installation Ark 01 or whatever....

Re: Log5_Transcript General Discussion

Echelon- I agree the ending to the poem/transmission is... something alright. Reminds me very much of any hero myth (See Joseph Campbell -- A hero of a 1000 faces), the hero- MC/John117 is special, he brings hope to the writer of the transcript, he can avoid the 'inaction' that the Forerunners perfo...

Re: Log5_Transcript General Discussion

I'm confused about the whole Pangea thing. I thought Pangea was breaking up way before 100,000 B.C. So obviously they knew about Earth for longer. Could they have terraformed Earth to make us a certain way (see video log 4 for the planet change)? And the whole beyond the line may mean something else...

Re: MB05032 General Discussion

Iris really has busted a lot of pet theories floating around. Humans =/= Forerunners. Prophets weren't our pet slaves that rebelled during the Halo firing and our to get us hence why we aren't allowed to join the Covenant and just KoS. Forerunners did not create the Flood through hubris/Frankenstien...

Re: Log5_Transcript General Discussion

snip Perhaps what they saw was themselves in us. They wanted to give somebody a chance to fix the whole Flood problem, and they thought humanity was best fit to do it. Obviously, it doesn't tell us what makes us special; you can't do a genetic test to find 'humanity' or 'forerunner-ness'. It seems ...

Re: Log5_Transcript General Discussion

I was pondering this transcript over the last 30 minutes. It really suggests that during the Forerunner's fight against the Flood they discovered Earth. Something about earth, or at least the creatures here at the time was extraordinary in their eyes, something in our genes (Asian crocodile genes pe...

Re: Server 5 opening Discussion

Here's the thing thats bugging me: the website is 'theartifactlocation.com' it seems singular. Its not the artifact locations (plural), so why the three different cities? Why the three different lat/long data points? Maybe there is something common about those three points that we need to be doing ...
