if i remember correctly, there should be 3 stages of rampancy. ill need to check out the story page. it is in one of the terminals from the original game.

yes, e sounds a lot like durandal..

if i remember the stages, its like Melancholia, Anger, and Jealousy (from the story page)..

There are some agency's that put limits on the height of applicants... I think it's MI5....

I think that the ONI guys would have realised that the Spartans would have difficulties undercover
- 7 ft tall
- very pale
- weigh 250+ kg
- act differently
and would have set up a similar program to train soldiers with non-visable augmentations, with training to help them blend in but still able to hold their own in a fight...

We don't know alot about ONI, one of the things we do know is that they have people everywhere...


Damn, good job on noting about ONI being smart enough to realize these problems. I am just too tired right now. I think we are getting really close to who this JD is, and we will probably know when the first prologue comes out.

good job guys on the theories i am going to bed. See YA!

That's the ODST render... although I could imagine it being one of the tunnels under Frigid...

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

I don't know about 'everyone' under his command being Sailors. They have Marines with them obviously....and I dare you to call a Marine a Sailor. You'll wish you hadn't. So just him being under him does not equal to be 'one of the boys'. Also, what points to him being a Medic? I don't see anything refering to that. Also besides houses ONI's fortress complex did not Reach also house the Spartan's main HQ?? Or were they the one in the same...Section 3 no?? I can't remember.

Opps, sorry this was meant to an earlier post....hmm...I should really pay more attention to the page I'm on. Sorry all...

Ok, I think it safe to assume that this was mentioned eariler...but I'd like to bring it back up since there is big talk over JD being able to hide and not be 'seen'. In TFoR, John, Kelly and I think 3 other Spartans did exactly that on that rebel asteriod. Compltelting their mission fine, if they easily fit in there when they were adults, (I think they were early 20's) then why not now? It's not like they would physically change except they would get some aging lines. Also, to add to the Grav theory, perhaps it holds down anything with a large sufficent mass, like a dropship or crusier. A bullet shot into the air would not be pulled down but something along the mass of a Pelican, able to carry possible infection forms could not get off. Also, just thought of this. Someone mentioned there being a 'new flood' type, and different ways of containing them. Perhaps the Forerunner failed in containing the flood the first time by simply killing off food, or vice versa, with just keeping them grounded. Perhaps this Frigid installation was before the Halo's....and so they needed something with more guarrenttee to stop the flood. Hence why Halo was built to kill the food supply....anything with sufficant mass...which could also mean the Forerunner were killed off too..... just specualtion and I know I'm going on tangets. Just had to say it though...

I was speculating that JD might be a medic... Medics are often seen around cryo bays (in sci fi movies/books) to make sure everyone wakes up ok... maybe give them a stimulant...

Medics would also be skill that the Captain would want... a cryo bay tech is not...

Ok, E. is definately rampant. He's lost it, and it seems he's looking at JD like a threat in some ways. In other like a fool you will a little sorry for... this is getting good. I wonder then whay the name of the planet really is or what it really is since he said it's not 'Frigid'.

Hey guys... They explain the reason the SPARTANs are white. They very rarily take off their MJOLNIR armor.

So, if Colonel Ackerson's Spartan 3s never have the armor they would prolly not be white. Though another thing is that when they used the augmentation biomeds they were not up to par. It is not concievable that they corrected some of those errors. That the augmentations would not result in a human that is over 7 ft tall. Course their body mass might be an issue however, I think that might also be corrected as well by pushing the muscle cells closer together. But, that is way off in neverneverland. Anyways, guys I am out for the ... Morning.

Btw, Pellucid means transparent or clear... yet in the very next sentence he says that "It's all clear to me now." Just thought I would mention it.

Yeah, but I don't think that that has anything to due with the current area. A.) Dr. Halsey would have to pull some major strings to get people to believe her. Not to mention sending her out on another op. They would want a serious debrief. B.) I don't think she likes the UNSC anymore. However, there is no telling what she was up to doing what she did.

well maybe i can shine some light into this.....you see each of these is a theory of how the universe opperates however each is a more "improved" version of the last.... string theory is the theory that the universe is made up like a ball of thread......if i could draw a pic this would be easier but picture string lapping over onto itself..........

........................
........................

lol ok pretend this is two pieces of the universe.... a side from string theory physicists believe that there is a possible way to jump from one to the other instead of following it all the way around.....so therefore almost like slipspace jumps......also another thing that has been hypothesized around this theory ... is time travel
lol
hope u got that

This has been brought up before... I think it was debunked because:

- Dr Halsey and Kelly leave after the events in the enkidu terminal start
- although Dr Halsey had the crystal she gave it away before she left

Ahh.. yes it is. I'm 6 feet or 182cm, add 12 inches or 30cm (just over) and you end up with 7 feet or 212cm...

ie. just over 2 meters = 7 feet

Well, Enkindu has certanly gone off the deep end. the REALLY deep end... now, in response to the post about the flood forms, Cpt.Mathers belives that the flood is a kind of bio-agent, a viral weapon if you will, that has the ability to re-animate the bodies. now, if i was Cpt.Mathers, and i saw that whenever one of "those Shambling Freaks" got shot, it dispersed, and a cloud went up, and soon the private next to me looks like some sort of resident evil throwback, i would think that it was caused by that cloud. now, in the game Halo, the flood use the Ranger/Infection form to infect. it is able to make large leaps, but when it hits an energy shield it pops. if there is no shield, it embeds itself in the victim/hosts chest cavity and takes over all bodily functions by way of the spinal column. it then releases SPORES which mutate the host body to suit its needs. perhaps Cpt.Mathers and crew have not seen the Ranger/Infection form yet, and have just seen the spores. it makes sense that the spores could work as an infectant (is that even a word?).
sorry for the long treatise on the flood, i hope it might help shed light on this madness. Good luck folks ;)

The Eleven dimensions is referring to string theory (which is mentioned in the meta tags thingy). In string theory (well, to be precise M-Theory, which encompasses string theory), spacetime must include eleven dimensions. There are numerous theories as to how these dimensions could exist without us being able to perceive them; one states that the 7 extra dimensions are curled up in extremely small spaces known as "calabi yau" spaces, another postulates that they are expanded just like the other 4 dimensions. The second theory is more likely, I think; it says that they are not perceivable because matter particles (electrons, quarks etc), and most of the energy quanta (ie photons, w-particles) are "tied down" to the 4-Dimensional D-brane (this is a complex subject - thing of it as a 4 dimensional extended "membrane" - a normal membrane is 2 dimensional, but D-branes can be of higher numbers of dimensions), since all particles are in fact "strings" (that is what string theory is). However, gravitons (the particles that carry the gravitational force) are "looped" strings, like a rubber band, so they cannot be stuck to the D-brane, and are free to move within the other 7 dimensions.

I don't know how relevant this is, but just clarifying the "string theory" reference and how it relates to the terminal message. :) For more info on string theory, The Official String Theory Web Site is a good starting point.

Apparently Enkidu can perceive gravitons now. :)

Taken from dictionary.com

Pellucid

adj 1: transmitting light; able to be seen through with clarity; "the cold crystalline water of melted snow"; "crystal clear skies"; "could see the sand on the bottom of the limpid pool"; "lucid air"; "a pellucid brook"; "transparent cristal" [syn: crystalline, crystal clear, limpid, lucid, transparent] 2: (of language) transparently clear; easily understandable; "writes in a limpid style"; "lucid directions"; "a luculent oration"- Robert Burton; "pellucid prose"; "a crystal clear explanation"; "a perspicuous argument" [syn: limpid, lucid, luculent, crystal clear, perspicuous]


Could be referring to "it's all clear to me now" this could also very well be a play on words giving a hint as to where JD actually is. (Assuming we can trust what E says, about not being on Frigid)

E is most definetly losing it now. But that doesn't mean he isn't telling the truth, at least as he sees it.

I wonder what JD had in the file(s) E took. Could be some forerunner knowledge about physics, string theory, and the like. That would explain all of the references.

:Pellucid. Ha.

:Of course not. But I'll show you soon. Don't worry. Hee-hee-hee!
:There's more in here than I thought. More remotes. More tools. More ROOM.
:More POWER....

Pellucid is the name of the installation. An installation at the center of the forerunner operations to record and store all data, halo deployments, the Flood research.
Maybe it's even a portal of some sorts... on Halo there was a transportation grid...
maybe this installation houses a grid on a larger scale, through the whole universe!

"More remotes." Controlling other installations? (ie. Halo). "More tools." Like the tools to control the Flood, those robot things (sorry). More ROOM. More POWER...." We know that "Pellucid" (Frigid) is not your normal planet! I think it is pivotal in the Forerunner scheme!


From web site:
http://pi.ijs.si/ProjectIntelligence.Exe?Cm=Project&Proje ct=PELLUCID
(In this link I can't get rid of the space in "PELLUCID" between the I & D, you see PELLUCI D, remove the space between the two if you paste it into your address line)

Objectives:
The overall objective of Pellucid is to develop an adaptable platform for assisting organisationally mobile employees, in effect re-engineering their work in the organisation.

This will improve organisation effectiveness and efficiency by formalisation, recording, storage and preservation of experience and knowledge; and supporting workers during integration in a new department or role by giving access to specific knowledge and experience accumulated in the past. At the technical level, the objective is to develop and integrate several advanced technologies in a customisable agent-based architecture.

These technologies include autonomous cooperating agents; responsive interaction with the end-users; organisational memory; workflow and process modelling; and metadata for accessing document repositories. The objective is also to obtain experience with customisation and to formulate guidelines for best practice in using the Pellucid platform in assisting organisationally mobile workers.

Good job Xraf, how did you dig that up? The other question is how did bungie dig that up? The parallels are too close to consider it a coincidence.

Were the flood a "project" that went bad? A lot of other theories point to that. Perhaps this is more solid evidence.

Keep up the good work.
