now, this is in reply to the flood stuff: why would the Forerunners have chosen Installation 04 as the SINGLE containment unit of the flood? with this line of thinking, the other installations would contain either : A.) More Flood; or B.) Other forerunner created/imprisoned/stuided...etc creatures. now, as far as i can tell, all the stuff that we are discussing has happened BEFORE the MC destroyed the Halo. What was the year that MC blew up the Halo? Perhaps the flow of time and what we have discovered will help. what I'm thinking is this: if the installation that the marines and covenant are on, and ekidnu seems to be in semi-control of, contains flood, why would the covenant fall into the same situation some years later? this might kill the flood theory. just some *rampant* speculation (bad joke, sorry).
EDIT: woohoo, i just found something cool. i checked the letters that the Ekidnu letters end in (Ex..../ekidnu_m.html) and found out this: the letters all correspond to the Greek alphabet! not a single one of the letters is out of this bit, so i have some idea as to what the next ones will be. this is the website that helped me: http://www.ibiblio.org/koine/greek/lessons/alphabet.html
the letters that i got were: A, B, G, D, E, Z, H, TH, I, K, L, M now before you shoot this idea down over the letter H, check the sign for Eta. since there already was an E, the sign was used. now, following this example the next letters should be: N, X, O, P, R, S, T, U, F, C, PS, W. i hope this is not a repost of an old idea. i faintly remember something along these lines, but i believe that i may have extended it. also, check the Upper and Lowercase columns and the equivalency columns for something i may have missed. i think that this may also be going off of the equivalency's. good luck decoding this.
