I'm going to try and point out some interesting things in the newest enkidu terminal post, How I Spent Your Summer Vacation
+++INCOMING MESSAGE FROM [ANONYMOUS]+++
Not that summer is terribly long down here. It's hard to count days when the sun never sets, and months don't apply without moons, do they? I could give you a count of the seconds, but why? It's always sunlight under the rosy sky. It makes me believe in eternity.
Enkidu is talking about a "rosy sky". Saliors use to predict the following days weather by the color of the sky during sun set (JD is a sailor on a ship, but in space). A rosy colored sky meant that the following day would be perfect weather for sailing. Perhaps Enkidu is trying to say that the time is right for attempting a landing on Frigid. Or, is the "new" Enkidu trying to show us that he/she is friendly with a symbolic gesture? The problem with this is that Enkidu says that the sun never sets on Frigid. Maybe by saying this, the "new" Enkidu is trying to show us that he/she has always been a friend? (a friend(?) of a friend) does JD know the "new" Enkidu from before?
Again "eternity" is mentioned as well. It was mentioned in the riddle as well. Cedar trees stand symbolicly for eternity and we know the conection of them to the Epic of Gilgamesh and terminal. We also know that Gilgamesh sought out a plant that would make him immortal for eternity. What is the signifigance of eternity to the "new" Enkidu AI?
What a pretty trail you left in the sky. Just like a falling star.
Sounds like JD is off the Lebanon. The terminal reads:
Lifeboat Bay C Terminal <Port 4.14.19.12>
Thus, by way of lifeboat, JD is entering Frigid's atmosphere. Wasn't the life boats damaged, as said by Cpt Mathers? This could be trouble.
Beyond, the life boat actually resembling an actual falling star in the sky, could Enkidu mean something other than this? Maybe a possible connection to JD and the Anunnaki? JD is symbolicly coming down from the heavens too...
You really did make it back. I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. You've been through a few scrapes in the meantime, I see, but you're little worse off than before. That's a lot worse than when we left home, but we beggars can't be choosers can we?
The only thing that I can conclude from this is that in the damaged life boat JD actually survived the landing on Frigid and is now on the surface a little banged up. Even if the Life boat JD rode was fine, life boat flight isn't all that safe. In Halo, everone on the Chief's life boat perished.
What i want to know though is what is "home" and why did JD leave it in bad shape?
So here you are. Stuck with me. Nowhere else to go. Nothing else to do. New to the neighbourhood and don't know your way around. No friends here, either, so you're trying to crash at my new place. How fun. Shall we play a game, old friend? How about a nice game of...
No friends here? That means that everyone in the first landing party is dead. We might even be able to say that the "new" Enkidu isn't a friend with this statement because he/she is there. Yet, the "new" Enkidu uses the term "old friend". this shows that JD knows the "new" Enkidu from the past, but I think that addressing JD in this fashion was a sarcastic jesture. Its not looking like a friend to me...
We also know that the conditions aren't good on Frigid and we might need shelter on the inside of that structure. Why does the "new" Enkidu want to play games? What could be fun about this situation? Is it like someone mentioned? Simple jokes from one friend to another to lighten up the severity of the situation? I just wish we heard what the game was going to be so that we could actualy determine if this "old friend" is nice or not. I have a personal feeling that the game wasn't going to be fun or helpful though.
Oh dear. Were you expecting company? I think your friends have!~$%&#@--- [transfer interrupted]

Your presence is a stain upon the honor of the gods. Their honor shall be cleansed.
Obviously its the covenant. what I notice though is the words of Enkidu, "Oh Dear" where you expecting company?". This sounds a whole lot like something 343GS would have said. Imagine it in your head with his voice saying it and it seriously makes you wonder.
