Don't use a regular cable. You need a "crossover" cable.

O.K. I've read through most of the posts on this and I've found something interesting. People are saying Enkidu sounds like he has multiple personalities. With some help from cjassassin and haloaddic7 i came up with this: Enkidu found a Covenant Ai like Cortana did in First Strike and deleted it and it had the coping thing the Covie Ai did and copied himself. Now Enkidu didn't fix the errors like Cortana did with her copy so Enkidu's copy is a little crazy so i belive Enkidu is going to just make a bunch of copies just like what happened with the Cortana copies on the Ascendent Justice. So in the next few posts i believe there will be more Enkindu's.
Just a thougth.

ok, First things first. I havnt even read half of the posts in this thread. there are just too many of them.

Now. I do not believe that Enkidu found a covenant AI, what I do believe is that Enkidu is either A) taking up too much of his power storring all of the forerunner data (assuming he is in a forerunner instilation) or B) The forerunner technology is messing with Enkidu's code.

Enkidu could have also made coppies of himself so that he could delegate tasks better. IE: One copy to fight the flood, one to keep tabs on the covenant, etc...

[color=yellow] Today, I recieved a email titled "You Were All Wrong About The Cortana Letters." I'm still confused as to why it was sent to me, but all it said was, "I would like it if you could post this for me, if possible." Now, I have no idea who it's from, or why it ended up in my inbox, but here it goes:[/color]Durandal's main goal at the end of Marathon was to achieve immortality,
and escape the closure of the universe, correct? Suppose he DID escape.
Suppose that universe molded into the Halo universe. Now, imagine if they
found Durandal in the exploration of the Inner Colonies and managed to
harness it, molding it to their will. So thereforth, the Halo and
Marathon universes are right next to each other in the line of closure.
So you have to wonder: Is Cortana Durandal trying to lay low? She/He/It
is manipulating Master Chief very well. And you might wonder, "Why would
she send Master Chief to eliminate the Flood?" Simple, the flood might
destroy the AI and the computer systems, causing Cortana to crash and
burn, as a matter of speaking. And it probably doesn't want to be alone
for the next THOUSANDS of years. So that is my theory. Cortana =
Durandal. The letters make this clear by stating many Durandal-esque
terms, as well as a mysterious message: I HAVE WON!

Which would assume Durandal won his prize.


[color=yellow] Why couldn't they post this on their own, we'll never know...[/color]

They probably didn't want to post it because they didn't want to be flamed by everyone for that remark. A guess.

cortanata is NOT durandal. anyone with marathon experience knows that. she is more like Leela. Enkidu on the other hand, is very - VERY closely related in personality to durandal.

again though, no new terminals the last 48 hours. odd.

if you look at how the terminals are laid out it could be that they've run out of space ie there will be no more, unless of course they add another link to a new page. But this could be where halo 2 starts off, or at least the story line is continued from here at some point.

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."

No there will be 2 more and a prolouge added. It's following the format of the Epic of Gilgemesh. In it there was 3 prolouge, 7 parts to the first book or section, 6 to the second and 11 to the last. Plus, they technically ran out of room 3 terminals ago....they just add to the bottom and push the thing up one....

New terminal is finally up. Go check it out.

Oh and Zk315, as a clue to why they emailed you, you're one of the few people whose email address is visible to everyone.

http://enkidu.bungie.org/enkidu_sigh.html

what interesting is that "sigh" isn't part of the greek alphabet... sort of. The letter we should be up to is Psi (ph), survive in english in psalm and psychology. I think "sigh" is a play on the sounds... Enkidu is regretful of his situation, so sigh is and isn't following the greek alphabet.

Yea, I noticed that too. But we need those new terminals and the prologue to finish putting this story together.

Ok. Supposing Ekidu has been messed up by interfacing with the Forerunner technology. The last post has him talking about knowing and controlling everything in the universe. Does that mean he might try and fire the 'Halo Weapon' (that presumably this installation has assuming it's 1 of the 4 halo's) and wipe out all life in the galaxy?

Driven to distraction. ^_^

Anybody else notice that the text that is normally found in the bottom right of the terminal:

***REMOTE ENGAGED***

has been replaced with:

***UPLOADING... 1% OF 161.8 EB SENT***

in the latest terminal? Any ideas?

humm... didn't spot that one. Does that mean the story is over (or nearly over)?
Whatever has happened has still been left really ambiguous.

In reference to ***UPLOADING... 1% OF 161.8 EB SENT***

EB = ExaByte or 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 Bytes

Thats some pretty hefty data
