LOL right.. I dont think there will be many new develpoments until the 10th... what do you think about the chat between the 2 officers. weather or not they should retreat to report some news, about the enemy?
Do you think the AI will get repaird or will she just fall apart more?

I'm pretty sure this has already been posted before but hey you wanted theories so here is one of mine.
This is in short and simple form by the way.

The varroa mites are the flood. The bees are the covenant. In the site it talks about viruses hackers and all that other crap, which could mean that the flood have infested many of the covenant. Captain Keyes was taken over by the flood and is sending out short strange messages saying he needs help and whatnot. Or it could be the covenant sending out a distress signal. Unlikely since it was sent to us and we are their enemy.

I'm too tired to think anymore so if there is anything I left out or messed up on then please tell me.

To Get a perspective on what IBL is, and a bit of a translation/explanation on it.

And here to find all the juicy tidbits in one,organized place.

But you guys are smart, so you all have those sites bookmarked, right? right?

It actually seems like there are finally people who seem to know what's going on (i was gonna sick of the "OMG its KELlY" and "ITS AUG 24 ReelaseSA!" crap).

ILB is simply Halo 2 background story. Hopefully, I'm just preaching to the choir by now, b/c noone would believe me when I said this a few days ago. I think stuff such as what bees and varroa mites signify is just a little side allusion put in to add to the mysetry and fun. I think its absolutely awesome insight, but I don't think there is anything more to it.

The MAYDAY's are coming from an ONI AI. I haven't read through all the stalker info (yet) so i can't comment on who i think that is, but its could be the AI probing further, trying to escape possibly with the help of Dana. The ONI team sent dana an email to try and cover up what's going on. They're worried that an AI is going rampant, as they realize the Widow/Queen story was written by the AI him/herself, and it promises "retribution." It is known from the Marathon story terminals that a rampant AI must be dealt with quickly and that one of its stages is anger.


The three stages were diagnosed shortly after the first
Rampancies were discovered on Earth in the latter part of the
twenty first century.  The stages are titled after the primary
emotional bent of the AI during each stage.  They are
Melancholia, Anger, and Jealousy.
***
In general, Rampancy is accelerated by outside stimuli.  This
was discovered early in Cybertonics.  The more a Rampant AI is
harassed or threatened, the more rapidly it becomes dangerous.
Thus, most Rampants are dealt with in one mighty attack, in
order to deny the AI time to grow or recover.  There have been
a few examples of this tactic not succeeding.  In all of these
cases, the Rampant was never brought under control.  Traxus IV
is the most notable example.  He was finally dealt with by a
complete shutdown of his host net.
Defend THIS!, terminal 2


I still have a hard time comprehending how an AI in the future is taking over a website in 2004, but i realize i guess i'm splitting hairs. In short, "Wide AWAKE" etc., means that that is when the AI will "escape" or at least, finish its Rampant cycle and grow to a new stage of self awareness and power. Maybe it hopes to use the SolNet as its "core" (i.e., internet).

As far as Halo 2 story goes, not only do we have to content with a Covenant invasion on earth (after it finishes with Troy apparently), but we also have another AI we are dealing with. This all powerful ONI AI will probably prove to be a powerful, but dangerous ally in much the same way Durandal was. This AI could live in SOL, making it vital to itself than it thwart Covenant glassing efforts. And lets not forget Forerunner artifacts that apparently reside on earth coming in somewhere. In short, continue to find intriguing story line to come from ILBs in the near future, but absolutely nothing more.

Hmm interesting Jager. But anyway I found something else I haven't seen yet, even though its probably on that 300+ post forum.
Edit: Here is something else that connects with this.

1st Lt Sorenson: For the first time, I'm not sure I want to know what's in them.
Capt Greene: ...Even leaving aside our particular mission, there's the issue of letting them know we've broken their codes. If we bug out and scramble home to warn HQ about Troy, people like Standish will say we've already drop the mission. We have to bug out of here right now and get word back to HQ. An evac on this scalethey need every second. ...Jesus. I was stationed on Troy.
Capt. Greene: I'm not... I'm not sure.
1st Lt Sorenson: Ma'am?
Capt. Greene: There's a bigger
That is how I put together the two sentence things.

Apparently some humans have found something out and now whoever/whatever is chasing them doesn't want them to tell anyone.

After readinig through my post, I realized I missed something with the countdown. There are four "Phases" on the countdown. Pre Network throttling is Phase 1. We are now Post-NT, or Phase 2. We are now waiting for Phase 3 to start. Wide Awake,e tc. is Phase 4.

There are three stages to rampancy. Meloncholia, Anger, and Jealousy. And I already commented that I think Wide Awake is beyond rampancy, the implied Phase 4.

So before, teh MAYDAYs were meloncholia. Sad. Afraid even. Trapped, looking for a way out. But the QUEEN story "spun" by the AI alluded to an angry retribution. And teh stalker images seem somewhat scary, angry even. Expect on Aug. 10th to see Jealousy take over. And after that . . . .

Beyond Rampancy.

Yah, that you can find mentioned in both of my starting links. That's what I call "overt halo 2 background."

Its just an interesting way of devliering, dialog style, the fact that there is a ship commanded by Capt. Greene on a covert espinage mission. They have broken Covenant codes, and realize that Troy is the next target. They want to warn Troy and save lifes, but the Capt. realizes that they can't do that. They must finish their mission and act as though nothing has happened. Even though her own family lives on Troy.

Good stuff. This is how I like my story delivered . . .

Off hand, I think the ONI technician is the only person we know. He was a scary kind of guy. Very much a "For the Good of Humanity" kind of person. He shot in coldblood an covenant engineer after the Cov. Eng. fixed up master cheif's suit of armor. The reason? Because the engineer now knew how the armor worked. (c. engineers just fix stuff, they don't hurt anyone or even choose sides).

OMG thank you Jager. I have been trying to tell people this since yesterday.. but no one else would shut up. I'm so glad someone esle sees it as just a story and not as : a DEMO IS COMING OUT. LOL well we can discus the developments here. i'm following it all at the Wiki right now.well you know more about Rampancy then i do. But what you say makes sence. the first part from july 15th - 26 the AI seemed lost and scared. now it seems to be spilling random memories, while also comunicating about the spider and with Dana. THe 2 memories seem to be the ONI tech hitting on the Midshipmen(?) woman. and the conversation about warning troy, or going on with the mission. Hopefully during this phase there will be more conversations spilling out, or we will have to wait for the next phase

I dont really have any theories besides from what ive read id have to agree that the flea is 343 GS and the Widow is Cortana. And that the one answering the e-mails is the flea not the sleeping princess. Queen may be the AI that cortana tried to destory on the AJ and Cortana may be trying to rebuild it. Dunno its interesting tho.
