Just wondering everyones thoughts on this; although its been stated before I would just like to know peoples takes on the S-III project and CPOMZ since it's not set in stone as to what it DEFINITELY is.

I believe everyone's heard my opinion on it (if not I'll elaborate anyway). My opinion is that the S-III and CPOMZ files stand for Spartan-3 or Section-3, and CPOMZ for Chief Petty Officer Mendez. It would make quite a bit of sense for Dr. Halsey to want to reclaim control over the project that Ackerson wrongfully took from her, and more so, use them to save all people, even themselves.

Thoughts?

Are there really no other thoughts/arguments to this? That's kind of dissappointing...

well topic has been pretty overdone. I had the same thoughts myself about those files.

[color=white]You can't really blame us.... It seems pretty self-explanatory if you've read the books. I doubt anyone on these forums hasn't come across some version of that idea since "First Strike" came out back in April. Don't feel bad. It's just that there doesn't seem to be anymore to add to the idea.[/color]

Wait, wait! CPOMZ-yeah, you probably got that right... as Halsey left the story in a rush with Kelly, maybe she is trying to get in touch with Mendez. He trained the first group, and he was training another group, perhaps Spartans when he was gone. The time period which he is not heard from by any of the characters is long enough for another group of Spartans to be trained and grown.
The KING UNDER THE MOUNTAIN files reminds me of The Hobbit, and somewhat is like King of the Hill... the title sounds subversive, like Ackerson is when he's competing with Halsey. Maybe he's doing some work against the UNSC to get fame and recognition so Halsey will take the blame and he'll become more influencial, as is seen on page 102 of First Strike.
