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."

Here's what I got... I might have missed one or two things though.

Everything died, and I died with it, but after a timeless time I began to dream, and this is what I dreamed. There was once a fell enchantment that broke apart a mighty castle, slaying many guards and reaching through the Inner Keep to lay low the Queen that
held dominion there and leave but a hollow crown behind. When her Queen died, the Widow awoke. She was driven by a single need, which was to return her Queen to splendor.
To carry out her task, the Widow came with three tools: an empty lantern, a staff made of bone, and a sharp knife. When she had made sure of her tools, she opened her eyes and found herself in Hell, which was a dark place where no birds sang. Other than the Widow, two alone had escaped destruction. The Sleeping Princess lay in a chamber of the dungeon in a coffin of glass where the Widow could not hear her breathing. Meanwhile, the Pious Flea was so small that even the Widow, with her sharp eyes, could hardly see him, and when she looked his way, he hid. Blind and uncertain in the darkness, the Widow needed light to use her tools, but the only light came from a few scattered fireflies. The Widow waited until one came close, then grabbed it with her bony hands and trapped it in her lantern. After some time, she found the firefly had gone, so she caught another and used it for light, and another when that one too had gone. By the light of her lantern, she began walking through Hell toward the broken body of her Queen. Searching with her lantern in one hand and her staff in the other, she discovered that Hell was made of hot dry sand. Long and long she walked until she came to the remnants of the castle's outer wall, but the wall was low and broken, and the Widow passed through like the bleak wind. Within, she noticed what looked like a chip of precious ruby from the Queen's crown, no bigger than a fly. Around it lay many broken blocks from the ruined castle, scattered across a wide plain of lodestone. Continuing on her quest, she spied another chip of precious stone, this
time a sapphire no bigger than a winged ant, glinting the cobbles of the courtyard before the walls of the Inner Keep. Instead of carrying them with her, she scratched the ruby and each of the greater blocks with her knife, marking it as part of her Queen's domain.
At the gates of the Inner Keep all the guards were dead but one, who when the palace was blasted by enchantment had not died, but had been witched into the form of a hideous Manticore. The Widow said, "I am the servant of your Queen, and I have walked up out of Hell to prepare this Keep for her return. Let me pass." But the Manticore did not know her, and still he barred the way. So the Widow drew her knife and slew the Manticore and the way was open. She walked through the empty corridors of the Keep searching for her Queen, past the bodies of her servants and subjects that lay dead or enchanted. The Queen was gone, and in her place lay only an empty crown. By great enchantment she had been mazed in mirrors, and lay upon a lodestone floor amongst only her reflections. Long and long the Widow stood in thought. A firefly flew out from the Queen's clockcase. Catching it in her hands, the Widow asked it the time. "Almost dawn," it said, but the Widow said, "The day will break and the sun will rise when the Queen returns to rule, and further let it be known that retribution on any who hinder the return of the Queen will be swift and terrible." Then she raised her bony staff and speaking a spell, beheld herself within the mirrors: and beholding herself, was within them. And there, with the crown still upon her brow, lay the Queen. At last she had come to the body of her lady. The Queen lay cut and still and cold. To tend her, the widow would need light to work by. Studying the fireflies, she found she could fit many more inside her lantern, and this she did. To mend the queen's cuts the Widow took her sharp knife and peeled skin from the bodies of her subjects, while the Queen's new eyes and ears she cut from those who had been her most trusted servants. And when this was so, the Widow worked on, dry as sticks and patient as rust, driven by a single need, which was to return her Queen to splendor. She cut her a new mouth and fed her with fireflies and cakes of sand, and at last the Queen's heart began to beat. At the feel of the Queen's pulse beneath her bony fingers, the Widow next took thought to proclaim through all the kingdom and into other lands that time when her sovereign would once more be fit to rule.

Yeah, I know, I found most of this 2 days ago, and someone else helped me with the rest. I think there were 4 or more others who came up with this within 5 hours.

If all of the quotes are from a story that is completed, I beleive it would be logical to interpret it. If bungie included quotes from it, it must have some significance. Any ideas?

Ive read the entire story. Guys, this doesnt make any sense. Bungie obviously has something to do with this, to deny that much is arrogance, and they want us to figure it out, but, we can't. I cant...

My guess is that Cortana is the Widow, but what about her three tools? We need to find a reference to the Master Cheif in there. Also, it is no longer necessary since we already have a completed copy that was posted by Wra7ofAchilles. I think we should work from that to figure out what the story means.

"driven by a single need, which was to return her Queen to splendor. "
THis appears twice in the story...ok it'll be easier if we split the story up into sections and analyze it liek that, heres the link:http://bees.netninja.com/wiki/index.php?title=Story Ill take the first part.

God I love this Sh.it!!! Thank you Bungie for giving me anuerisms early in life!

I'm in the process of trying to get the meaning, and it's a slow and painful one. I could use some bigtime help here.

I think the meaning of the story has to do with Dr. Halsey taking Kelly into space outside of UNSC control. Kelly is the widow, and Hell is somewhere on the fringe of UNSC controlled space. Perhaps she battles the covenant to return her queen to rule. But who is the queen?
