it could be a halo. but i doubt it as well. . .
as far as a fanfic goes: it could be. all it seems like we are getting here is a story. . however i do not believe that bungie would allow this much attention to be given to a fanfic that introduces a new and obviously powerful AI with out their knowledge. after all powerfull smart AI's tend to make waves and cause events to occur in the universe. that makes me lean towards legit.
the story, as it appears to me is something like this. a ship is gunned down, whatever. they launch the pelicans, they have a hard fall (will be a transmission evnetually like e or something), but survivors make it out, get to the door where we are now, and break through to find. . . some foreign circutry (reminicent of marathon infinity, where we left some rather intense circutry behind). when they insert enkidu, they wake up MR/MRS smart ai that was reveled in the second? terminal. oh the idea about combined ai. . .kinda makes sence. afterall these are "the enkidu terminals" (a good name?) that were posted under the name enkidu, not some other ai. so it would make sence that the story would be about the birth or "rebirth" of Enkidu (as a new, smarter, and obviously more rampant ai. who introduces him/herself )
on the other hand, this whole story parallels our own HALO story very closely. with the excepthion that whoever enkidu is talking to got left behind. . . (as a note the person enkidu is talking too could just be an upperlevel staff hand right? i mean evacuate to pelicans, unfreeze crew, not the typical SPARATAN work is it?) if it is, that frees up possiblities of SPARAN-type warriors carring enkidu down planetside. so ya back to the story, the ship incounters covinents, is forced to land, a small disshevled party survives, similar curious forrunner structures, covienent are interested in covinent installation . ... it seems like this has all been done bfore (which makes me think fanfic).
one thing i do not see is that a monitor type entity will be found. afterall, if a smart ai was awakened, he would not need to hover up to the ship to communicate. doubtless it allready knows all it needs in order to communicate with a ship . . .
