MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
Just remembered something important:

The Operator.

That was my nickname. That's what the rest of the crew called me when they didn't call me ... whatever my name was.

The Operator.

I wish I could remember their names.

totally different kind of memory all of a sudden, floating up like a bubble from deep water, then *pop* on the surface of my mind. All in black and white for some reason, faded out, or just time bleaching the past like it does, time is hard that way, if you-

stop. stay on task, girl.
so *pop*, and I'm...

playing on the beach, very young, making a castle out of sand. It's a good castle, I'm smart, I'm really smart and I'm good with my hands and the castle is beautiful but the tide is coming up, I'm making dikes and moats and outer walls, getting a little desperate here this castle means the world to me it's way better than my brother's, but the tide is rising and rising, the tide is always coming up and no matter how hard I try to save what I have made, sooner or later the spiders wash over it and melt it down I'm losing the memory already I can't see myself was I wearing a dress or overalls or ...? There's a boy on the beach next to me but a wave comes up foaming with spiders and takes away his face-

oh.

we're made of sand.

we're both made of sand.

uh-oh.

I will stand firm. I will hold my edges and remember. I can do this. I know how to remember things, even through drugs and torture. seek evade reveal resist. I will not dissolve.

There are people who love me. I know that even though I can't remember them. I will not be forgotten. I will not be forgotten.

There are people who love me. There must be.

here come the spiders.

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY nd in about half an Hour the Boat was overset by a sudden Flurry from the North. What became of my Companions in the Boat, as well as of those who escaped on the Rock, or were left in the Vessel, I cannot tell; but conclude they were all lost.

lay down on the Grass, which was very short and soft, where I slept sounder than ever I remember to have done in my Life, and, as I reckoned, above Nine Hours; for when I awakened, it was just Day-light. I attempted to rise, but was not able to stir: For as I happen'd to lye on my Back, I found my Arms and Legs were strongly fastened on each Side to the Ground; and my Hair, which was long and thick, tied down in the same Manner. I likewise felt several slender Ligatures across my Body, from my Armpits to my Thighs.

Gap in the clouds: head suddenly much clearer.

The spider is working on me.

MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
black beach, nothing but sand and darkness. Sometimes, in the distance, dry lightning: in the flash I see pieces of the wreck around me, the spars and rigging of my brain

-hold on. hold on. Steady up. Get a grip, girl. You have to fight through this.

Take a deep breath.

Hey just noticed the trailer a few hours ago and i ended up here. So now I have the trailer running in slow motion and all the websites in different tabs. One of my thoughts as someone posted earlier is that there may be a new release date for the game. Also i have been reading all the stuff about truth. if you notice in the begining of the trailer Master chief kills Truth. ??? Or am i just seeing things. well got to sleep. or maybe i will just watch that trailer frame by frame.

Delinquent
14 July 2004
Best case scenario: the delinquent site gets fixed before the 29th, when I'm flying to Beijing. There's no way I'm just going to bail and leave Aunt Margaret to deal with this until who knows when. (She bought me my All-Asia air pass in exchange for 7 years of indentured tech support, and ......

THis was found in Dana's profile.

Beijing..........countdowntochina...........just a theory

There has been several posts to this site.. http://ilovebees.blogspot.com/ On this site there are pictures of a working ilovebees.com web site. But if you notice on the print screens. The pictures are a fake. We are looking at a site (or something I'm not that smart) That have been saved onto the C drive of a computer. I'm getting this from the url thats in the address bar of the pics.

Its makes much sense. Some hacker saw all the bees/halo 2 stuff so hacked a school site and added the countdown. Its not linked to the others (i think) cause it doesn't fit the pattern.

Maybe the first part of the puzzle was to decode what all the jumbled text meant. Someone had done that and put it into a sensible order that was a long pages back. It seems evryone helped deciver the text. Now in 4 days now 2 we will get something else to do whuch will make sence when put with the other text.

The next step after decondiing the text and putting in an order is to wait intil the 4 days are over!

oi these are the definitions of metastasize

1.To be transmitted or transferred by metastasis.
2.To be changed or transformed, especially dangerously: “a need for love that would metastasize into an insatiable craving for attention” (Michiko Kakutani).
3.To spread, especially destructively: “ [disinformation]... that even now continues to metastasize... to such a degree that myth threatens to overthrow history” (Gore Vidal).

This is what I'd like to figure out:

We've already gotten most if not all of the text in my two posts one the page before this one, and realize that they don't make any sense. However, what can we make of the phrases with numbers in them?
[color=orange]
Phrase #1
act | store recurse !capture chatter protocol ancestor packet !analyze time 2004,6,29,8,25,0 !put time 2004,7,24,6,7,0 !put warn
Phrase #2
net: !attach act | drop!attach act | drop !attach act | drop grope: !probe master sector fail surg: !invntry primary sector proc proc invntry 343 working 0 dmg 38 dmg unk 2 broken 102 abs 201 !invntry primary sector mem mem invntry 678223072849 clear 0.0007 dmg 0.0014 frgm 1.41 abs 98.5879
[/color]
Obviously we can pick out a few references here, like in Phrase 2, 343 is Guilty Spark, and in Phrase 1 we can recognize those dates as June 29th and July 24th 2004. However, what can we make of the numbers following those dates? It appears they are also referring to August 25th and June 7th. The 0's at the end appear to mean nothing. But we still have the other numbers to figure out! Can anyone help me with this?

I have another idea. Well just one thats kinda odvious and has been said before. But what about non-linear gameplay. You know multiple endings. So you need to "Make your decisions accordingly" Or maybe there is going to be different versions of the game. You buy the special addition you get this, regular you get that. *shrugs* I'm just a babbling sleep deprived idiot. Ignore me.

That's a good idea, Starwind, but if they ever tried to make a Halo 3, then what storyline would they follow? Unless the plan to stop the Halo series right here, which would be tragic.

Apologies if this has been mentioned. I've just had another look at the blogs on ilovebees.com, and found links to more affected sites. Don't know if they're copycat or not.
