[color=orange]Righty, I like Noir's theory a lot, looks to be the most promising so far, but Tartarus has a good point. Are we just to disreguard all the other references? Of course not! Have we ever known Bungie to be so simple in a story line as to only reference one thing? NO! So, I would tend to think that while the sections represent the tablets of Gilgamesh, and the story follows the epic for the most part, that there are going to be little coincidences and other connections also. So, first off, why can't the titles of the sections represent the stages of rampancy, showing that Enkindu is going rampant, while they have the number of terminals equal to their chapter in the tablets of Gilgamesh? I see no reason why this cannot be, and perhaps we will now find even more double connections like this.[/color]
[color=white]As for the whole 11 dimention thingy, this cannot be another crystal, as they could only bend space and time, but could it not be something similar, forinstance a more powerful one, or an anomaly that functions off of the same principles, just on a much larger scale or with some more/extra effects (the other 11 dimentions)?[/color]
[color=teal]I agree with the theory that JD is one of the new batches of Spartans, seeing as they have now had time for another 2 and a 1/4 batches of em, so that works, and I would say it's the most promising theory on his identity so far.[/color]
Frigid fitting a Halo around it... interesting. Yes, the pasma shots do sound like a way to transfer something, perhaps energy? Frigid could supply power for one of the Forerunner' Ring Fortresses to do something, after all this anomaly is putting out huge amounts of power acording to Enkidu, and it would finally be an explanation for the plasma gun shot thingies on Halo.
[color=yellow]Many people have been trying to figure out why one of Enkidu's personalities is scared of the anomaly and talks about last time, could this be because it is the part of the Forerunner protection system AI that tried to take him over if that is what happened when he entered the network? It would sure explain the 'last time' reference. Perhaps the Forerunner used the anomaly to jump around the last firing of Halo, basically they were on one side of the wave, and utilizing the string theory, used the anomaly to jump to the other side of the wave, or else out of its range? Doing this the Forerunner could have survived the blast and then proceeded to build civilization again in another galaxy as this one was now dead.
And if the AI anti virus thing was in the system back then, it might remember something bad happening at that time, like the Forerunner leaving and perhaps the network having some sort of overload at the use of the anomaly and almost killing the AI? Something like this? There are numerous possibilities, and they are all much more likely explanations for one of Enkidu's personalities fear of the anomaly.[/color]
Like my method of seperating topics with color? I was getting confused in some of the bigger letters, so I figured I'd try to help others out. :-) Can't think of anything else to type, though I know there was more, so if I remember, I'll post it later. ;-)
