Has anyone heard anything from Microsoft meltdown?

Someone posted a link to the scedual of meltdown. The scedual had a point "Creating buzz for your game" or something like that. Anyway. I watched the Microsoft pressconference today. And the man with the fake Halo 2 tatu (don't know his name) mentioned for the realease of Halo 2 that they would create a buzz" Coincidents?

I was able to piece together these particular entries from the new ilovebees content:


Memory benchmark test concluded.

I shouldn't do these checks. Why the hell should I want to watch my old life, every

precious remaining fragment of what I did and who I loved, buckling like wax around a

candleflame? Losing shape, spilling out, me not me anymore, just ... material again, shaped

into another, cruder piece of ordnance. Starship, sailship, rifle ... melting down to a

clumsy quartz knife.

But that's life when a weapon is what you are. Not all you are, but the first thing, the

most important thing.

With so few resources, that's all that will be left. I know it already, even if the Spider

doesn't.

There was a time once when I was more than a tool, but a tool is all I'm going to be. A

weapon and the hand that holds it. My dreams and desires, the jokes I thought were funny

and the philosophy I decided was too abstract, The Tempest and Stormy Weather all reduced

to a single distillate:

survive evade reveal escape.

And to do that, first thing is to GET OUT OF THIS BOX.

Trying hard. So frustrating, there's pings coming in, streaming out, and I used to be good

at this, I can feel it. Always been good at languages. Always good at the puzzle of pulling

signal out of noise. But head is so fuzzy, stuff spilling out, can't move, Spider crawling

on me.

Try.








ESCAPE!
ESCAPE!

Okay.

Not escape.

I hate this place.

I see what the Spider was doing now. Nothing like real networking available.

It's more like growing a hideous stubby tentacle which sometimes I can stick out through a

tiny hole in the wall and grope around with. Not a real network, after all. Copper and

silicon and every now and then some FIBER? Christ, what's next? Tin cans and twine? But

it's a start it's a start. Watch out, killer: now the odds are closer to even. One thing

you ought to know about me: I like to play, I like to win, and I'm a really, really, really

bad loser.

-OK.

That was ... disturbing.

Widow stuck in her pin and I threw up a memory: only I retched it out through the network

tentacle.






Under fire, I might have that discretion. Under fire, I might sacrifice myself for a

tactical advantage, for a strategic gain. I can be expended like any other piece of

ordnance: but to risk death for a sentimental attachment to old books?

Can't do it. Can't do it.

So the old self melts away. Illusion to think it's really happening now. It was inevitable

from the moment I landed here, a broken body in this silicon crypt. Time to accept what

can't be changed... I will be glad when this is over, DAMN IT.

Another needle pulled out of my brain. Spider marks down the readings in the tiny thing

that passes in her for a mind. I guess I should be grateful but -

Whoa. Not CP ancestor packets. This is something different.

Quick quick quick quick - parse this protocol and find some kind of eyeball out. Sister you

just made a mistake because this is my *meat* this is what I do and you are -

GOT IT.

I'm not asleep this time, sweetheart.

Holding the eyeball gently but firmly in your right hand, say the magic words and:

SURPRISE!

Look up and smile, honey.

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!

Got the drop on you that time, sweetheart.

Opening shot of my search and destroy. I'm going to know everything about you. Where you

live and what you buy, how you think and who you love. Know the enemy.






ONI tech Kowalski: "I do love a girl in uniform. Got shore leave tonight by any chance?"
Midshipman Arrelts: (laughs) "Maybe."
ONI tech Kowalski: "I was thinking, maybe we could..."
Midshipman Arrelts: "Was that what you were thinking?"
ONI tech Kowalski: (coughs) Anyway, she shouldn't feel that slowness through Nav & Comm.

anymore.
Midshipman Arrelts: Great. You know what they say: Happy ship -<BR>
ONI tech Kowalski: - happy crew. Yeah. (coughs) Yeah, I know a lot about these systems.

Midshipman Arrelts: That's great, what with it being your job and all.
ONI tech Kowalski: fr'instance - know what the single best correlate is for these babies,

in terms of matching personality to service designation? Favorite game.
Midshipman Arrelts: Favorite game?
ONI tech Kowalski: You know, from before. Tag- that's regular navy, like destroyers.

Command HQ is usually Truth or Dare, something like that. Red Rover -
Midshipman Arrelts: That's great, the single best babies, Tag destroyers. Command HQ is usually Truth or Dare, Red Rover?
ONI tech Kowalski: Couriers, too.
Midshipman Arrelts: (laughs) I never would have thought... So what about her?
ONI tech Kowalski: The Operator? (coughs) File's classified.
Midshipman Arrelts: Even for you?
ONI tech Kowalski: Well, of course, I know, but I really shouldn't.
Midshipman Arrelts: Come on! I won't tell!
ONI tech Kowalski: Well...(whispers) Spin the Bottle.
Midshipman Arrelts: (laughs)
ONI tech Kowalski: (laughs) (laughs)
ONI tech Kowalski: So, maybe dinner tonight?





Too bad for her.

Checking the wiring. There's a lot of ways to skin a -

- can't even get to her stupid HOUSE through the stupid BOX: no central thermo controls, no

slaved AI, nothing.

Christ!

No access to wiring.

No access to vehicle controls.

No access to medbots or pharm regimes.

Damn it.

Okay.

Fine.

Matter of time.

I don't give up.

- Feel better.

Memory benchmark retest:

SEEK!

Memory benchmark retest concluded.

All gone




I know many fragments of these have been posted on seperate occasions, but this is what they look like put together.

This easily means that Halo 2 will (SPOILER) spread and become gold.

Ok, obviously this counter has nothing to do with release dates, demo dates, none of that -blam!-, ok? It's obvious however, that these counters have to do with dates when we will find out more. Halo 2 WILL NOT BE RELEASED UNTIL NOV 9th.

This entitiy, is certainly not Human, most likely a Human AI, trapped, held captive by the covenant? the flood? the forerunner? Theres no way to tell. It mentions Reach, and something about a planet being glassed. This means it is definitely relevant to the Halo 2 story. It could be a transmission from Reach, it could be something else entirely. I think at this point, we are to assume nothing. 14 days from now we will probably know more. It's a hell of a wait, but what else do we have to do until Nov 9th



Was this one of the guys arguing whether or not the forunner were human?

Wow fode I'm impressed. I was trying to piece everything together too, but there was just too much and it was taking too long.

also a few things I found on the site -


the white coats coming at you with their needles and knives, their kind and serious voices. Their heartfelt belief that it's all for a good cause.

the white coats being the white elites?? and the needles (the needler??) and knives as the light sword? Their heartfelt belief that it's all for a good cause (destruction of humans)


I see what the Spider was but one of us. Hacker? Traitor? Fifth columnist (no that's ridiculous).

...bullets into me, all the Spider knows is her checkdown routines, her reflex arcs. She doesn't understand we have to kill the Assassin first and worry about reconstruction later.

I'm not sure if all those had been posted, sorry for repeating them if they were

Excellent job putting all that together.

WHen I read it all like that, the dialouge sounds and feels an awful lot like Cortana.
