Server Text Discussion

[SKR]

I agree with the idea of it being translated into modern English. I just checked it in Dutch, and it uses the word pyrrische in it's place. So it seems even more likely.

This is probably a stupid question...but Where is 343GS in this? I mean, in Halo, he makes it sound like there was an important discussion between he and the 'reclaimer' so, assuming the person talking is the reclaimer, would GS have been the other entity? Or do yall think that all the monitors of the different stations discussed this decision before it happened?

Yes, it seems like the above transcript includes a conversation between 343GS and the reclaimer from the last activation of Halo.

"Last time you asked me, if it were my choice, would I do it?"

There is no peace left. No place where the parasite cannot reach. You were right about it
all. Let us hope the final measure is not too late.

D-COM sounds a lot like 343 GS.

ok i think its becoming common assumption across the forum that these messages were stored in the servers we just unlocked. but i wish i knew what this all meant, because right now it seems useless.

Not assumption. They were stored in the server that was opened today. Check Ibeechu's write up.

This transcript is about one of those files/messages. I told you what it meant.

Sifting through it I broke down the file into blocks so I could ‘interpet’ what the transmission is about: the activation of a Halo.

D-COM sounds a lot like 343 GS.

I think D-com is Forerunner, and the other entity is GS.

[robotchickengod]

Yeah, I think D-com is forerunner...because everything it says is very, for lack of a better word, human sounding. Especially the last line, "no pain, no remorse. Is that normal?" sounds like it is questioning its own humanity, in the face of a probable galactic genocide...GS would not have worried about it, unless of course, the monitors are actually stored consciousnesses of forerunners, and aren't actually AI's.

[Rainstorm1031]

I find myself wondering if this "D-Com" is the same entity that attacked AR. Perhaps a Forerunner is still alive? One left over? The one that "pushed the button" has had "millenia to reflect" but what does he see? All he can think about is killing all those people... he didn't feel remorse at the time, but after 100,000 years? Perhaps he's so racked with guilt that he's gone insane? Maybe AR is the "AI" or Monitor for the Ark?

Remember from Fall of Reach that AI's, such as Cortana, are actualy clones from a brain of a person. The spartans that became crippled were turned into AI's.
Forerunners were lightyears ahead of humans. They could easily install consciousnesses and feeling of remorse into their AI's, such as AR.

Unless the Ark has some kind of cryogenic mechansm, no living Forerunner could still be around after thousands of years.

But on another note, D-Com could not have been the reclaimer, because the reclaimer would have died in Halo's activation. How do we know that all the monitors are devoid or concousness?

And one more... This transcript is most likely from Installation 04 because its tital:
"Halo array –System Data Recorder"
So that disproves any theories that D-com was in the Ark.

Which leaves only the Montitors.

Try the door next time, Tex.

- Installation 04 is gone, got blowed up.. so any servers on it would be dead too! Although, who knows if this is in a current timeline set after the events of Halo 1

- I think D-Com is either

- the first reclaimer based on "Index: {check}" (the whole thing is a log of the first activation, so D-Com could well be the reclaimer, otherwise why else would he be included.. from the events at the end of Halo 2 it seemed quite straightforward and lacking anyone but the reclaimer and the monitor)

or

- A last forerunner based on "{D-com} It's done. By my hands. The pyrrhic solution is ignited. All I have left is the quiet of space to lull me to sleep. I will dream of you."

Space for him to sleep? Sleep in a poetic sense, meaning death.. or sleep as in some form of stasis. Who knows.


I like the idea he is the reclaimer.. its a 60 second countdown and each of the rings (1 - 7) is sync'd to destroy all life within 3 galactic radii (although they use the word radium, which is something different.. I guess it meant radii). <Fire>.
