What/who is IRIS
To me, "iris" sounds much like "virus". Perhaps through the years, the name has been misinterpruted, forgotten, translated incorrectly, or something to that effect. It would make sense, if Adjutant Reflex is a computer program/AI, and a virus attacked it.

Re: What/who is IRIS
An interesting idea, but why would AR accept Iris? Especially if we have the word virus as well...
Re: What/who is IRIS
Iris is probably the thing that is going to be launched into space soon, to allow mobile communications (internet) for US troops in Iraq. It was in the news in April
I dont know much about Halo but maybe it could have some relevance.

Re: What/who is IRIS
Oh wow, I don't know how "real" they want this ARG, but that would kind of make sense. Maybe that's how AR is getting to us from wherever in space it is...jackiboi wrote:Iris is probably the thing that is going to be launched into space soon, to allow mobile communications (internet) for US troops in Iraq.

Re: What/who is IRIS
You sure AR isn't in the forerunner installation left behind? And that IRIS doesn't stand for * * * System? or Service? That perhaps AR is an AI bringing online the IRIS system?
Re: What/who is IRIS
In how many ways can we spell out IRIS?
Interim Reclaimer Interface System
Initial Response Integration System
Isolated Redundant Index Storage
With dozens of people here why don't we each give it a shot and see if something meaningful comes out?
P.S. Mods, does this belong into speculation? I'm not sure. If so, could you break out this post and move it?

Re: What/who is IRIS
Over at the Compound Intelligence group at b.net some of us have adopted the theory that it's the 7 Iris asteroid (check wikipedia). Maybe a long abandoned, frozen Forerunner space craft?
Re: What/who is IRIS
Isn't Iris just the name of the ARG? Isn't it named so because we're going to learn things about the Halo universe from it? Need it be anything more?

That's exactly it. The B.net kids are completely stupid.
