hoooooooooooly -blam!-za!
U got a point there, it is the biggest thing since E3, and I have been gettin chills the whole time i been readin it. I can find the messager to be both cortana and 343 GS, and i can guess that if its truly cortana, then its to the Master Chief. Overall, however, i'd have to say GS, since all the actual events in the poem and e-mails could have easily been his. I'm surprised that nobody has connected "demons in the sky" with both the covenant and the humans, particularly the chief and cortana as he seems to reeeeeeeeeely hate them. However, he seems to have lived through the demons and he seems to me to wanna give out some serious punishment. Who he's talking to is beyond me, but I can almost connect that he has somehow invaded the AI of a certain ship, the Lebanon (this is a ship, not the country. its mentioned) and then could still be talking through a UNSC network. Answering some questions of others:
The literary device is not a litereary device at all, actually a type of poetry called concrete. And good analyses by the way.
The "Dot" I think is the effect of the Halo usage "echoing" off the walls of the universe. The fact that he will also echo is kinda disturbing, cuz if its GS, that means he'll repeat history; ie. releas the flood as someone had said or set off a diff halo as punishment to the people who he freakin hates, the demons.
Although I have played only halo of the bungie collection, I can infer many details from little text and if i were to play them, they would only be a clarification, or just a fun game.
The sign-off:
a friend(?) of a friend
it may have been the sign off of cortana, but it could have even been sent to someone who knows the signoff and is perhaps taunting him/her with the question mark, leaving them with an air of mystery and lack of trust due to past deeds. If anybody else sees me talking about Master Cheif himself recieveing the letters from GS, your right. I believe it may have something to do with what happened after Halo was destroyed and GS got out.
Even more proof it's 343GS:
He survived billions of degrees of temperature on halo, so it seems he is indestructable. Perhaps when he says he died, he means the forerunners took him offline and he was "fixed" by some kinda rebel or unknowing creature of the time and took his revenge on the forerunners with the creation of the Halo rings out of stolen forerunner tech and the firing of one particular ring. Or perhaps the rings were already there and the forerunners confined him to one, but he was unable to retriev the index alone, a kind of torture, knowing how to exact your revenge but being completely unable. This makes sense because then HE would be Dot, bouncing on the walls of Halo forever until he found something dumb enough to help fire halo with him, finally escaping the torture and exacting his glorious revenge on his inprisoners, only to find that he was still imprisoned and that he had killed his only chance of escape he knew: information on how to get off, collectible by his partner in crime. The second time around he got lucky and found the chief, invulnerable to the effects of the blast because he was not entirely sentient, and almost dumb enough to do it for 343GS except for ont thing. Cortana. Then he thought he could get another to work for him, but he didnt have to, as the Chief did him a favour and blew the hell outa the place, giving him nowhere to be imprisoned at all.He really hates Cortana and the chief however, because he was unable to destroy all sentient life in the process of getting off, cuz i'm sure evolution and actual life would really get on his nerves, considering he thought he had already did it in once.
It seems to me that my story fits quite well, as the "sword" may well be the index as someone mentioned earlier, and he was around in the ring long before somone got it for him the first time. Anybody finds inconsistencies, tell me and i'll adjust my story till its right.
I truly am the Halo Hero
