"Who is the path of light from blackest Earth to brilliant heaven? On whose golden wings will we fly from here to there?" Is Iris a spacecraft? What we saw opening in the Halo 3 announcement trailer--is that just a huge-ass hangar door opening (irising out, you might say)? Memories a bit ...

Funny that you mentioned Evangelion twice...there's something unusually catchy about the idea of instrumentality and compound intelligence and so on.

I sniff a connection.

By the way, the Halos are circles too!

The peculiar eye-shaped image or ring seems to resemble the zen "Enso", a symbol of completion and perfection. Add that to the kanji and other symbols in the "Emotion" pic, and you have some serious chinese calligraphy issues making an entrance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enso ...

Remember that the Covenant had to dig a bit to get whatever that thing is out of the sand. They had to dig more than a bit. Regret had to suck out all of New Mombasa in that slipspace jump, and that huge excavation force had to do the rest. In other words, what's on the surface today- whether in th...

Well, about stream-of-consciousness, rainbows and Halos...there are seven Halos in existence, and the rainbow has seven colors, so each Halo ring and its respective monitor are color-coded with one color of the rainbow. For instance, Guilty Spark, at one end, is blue, while Penitent Tangent is red, ...

Wow, that end note certainly is interesting. I agree with Lone Ranger though, he just doesn't strike me as a sentinal, and compound intelligence could refer to the fact that AIs can multitask, we don't know which things are simple and which are complicated at this point. I never said he was a Senti...

Hey, just a sec...are we missing something big? He's designated as a compound intelligence...that brings to mind the Sentinels in Ghosts of Onyx. In GoO, the Sentinels are much deadlier than their Halo-based counterparts, and they can combine to form a much larger entity. At the end of GoO, a swarm ...

Wellesley, you mean. He was Major Silva's personal AI, and he was destroyed on Halo 04. In any case, he's not the second AI in question.

OK, so the Circle of Life video was planted by someone who wants to tell us something. What do we learn? Yes, it could be a coincidence, but if it's NOT, what do we learn? If it doesn't relate to the ARG, it doesn't matter. My money is on the Iris metaphor, not lions and tigers, but I'm willing to ...

Remember THIS . With all this talk about circles (SOTA) it may have some sort of relevance. (edit: holy crap that is freaky, it matches perfectly. When MC steps in the sun the singer talks about stepping into the sun, cortana seems to sing along and stop at the same line, etc.) Lyrics: http://www.s...
