Yeah, they have Winter Contingency on Reach as 2568. That's off for sure.

Yeah. Reach definitely wasn't attached in 2568 in the Haloverse.

No e-mail has that much storage capacity, even in the future.

HBO's forum makes it difficult to remember that we can in fact go back and edit our posts...

Oh the FREEDOM!

Wait...in an ARG, does editing a typo count as retcon?

So as long as your decision isn't reversed or changed in the process, it should be alright.

Anyone with more in mind care to ask Chair what happened to Harvest? It is supposed to have lasted 5 years of siege, but this is AU...

It seems wasteful to me to use up a message to Chair with just this message. Maybe mention the encrypted codes too?

The Encrypted person wants to talk to F484. Until we have a way of getting him on the line, I don't see much reason in bothering.

I'm beginning to think this might be a retool, or reboot, of the Halo story. Hence the BLAMed up timeline.

As far as trying to get F484 to talk to the Encrypter.... If my theory is correct, and the anomaly ghosts (or one of them) is him, then someone should try to make contact. Either by leaving pictograms (ie the 'Christmas Tree' found by Raschad) or, should it be fortuitous, using hand signals if the ghost is again encountered.

Or provide a F484-ish response? Not sure how we could pull that off at the moment though...

He's reported to have had a unique manner of speaking, like sarcasm or something.

As of the most recent post via ISitInA, I'm getting the feeling that our Encrypter is Myung. This would make sense, I could see him wanting to contact F484, and his commentary relates perfectly to the circumstances that he's included in.

So our path from here is clear:

1) Calm Raschad down enough to get him to see the benefit of invoking the anomaly again, assuming that we can make contact with it.

2) Get the Anomaly, set up permanent contact with F484.

3) Have F484 contact Myung directly, see what happens.
