I don't think the T-U-R-T-L-E thing is an anagram. It is spelled out in the theme song, its just quoting. I think it is just to show the author is going nuts.

Dana is the AI that the covenant is using (their sword). Could the "Queen" be their boss?

Someone said something about an old never released bungie game that was about a snapping turtle... I'm not sure if it's true or not, but he said that it was supposed to come out on the 24th. I don't remember much about it though...

[[Alright folks, I've analysed this heavily. Everything with
[[Double Square Brackets]] is something said by me, a
comment or analysis on the actual text of the email. Remember, this is not particularly definitive, nor is it 'the real deal' - I have no guarantees, as I don't work for Bungie. Read through it though - I think this is roughly what's going on.]]



The History of Dana [[Cortana's dream of a real person's life.]]

by

The Sleeping Princess [[Cortana herself.]]



It is the object of this to present The news



Chapter I. The Sleeping Princess friendless and alone



The Sleeping Princess friendless and alone [[Cortana's reason for insanity. She wasn't built to ever be alone. Ever. Now she is.]]



the queen wishes [[The queen seems to be the 'Main AI' used by humans, giving dispatches and orders out to them, she is like the queen of the Artificial Constructs.]]

The Sleeping Princess [[Again, Cortana]]

sealed into an airtight container [[A memory disk]]

hiding from the queen [[So she doesn't have to take orders]]

Life is bare, gloom and misery everywhere [[Life in a disk compared to life running a freaking star ship would be shockingly bare.]]

Stormy weather, just can't get my poor old self together [[Can't get her 'poor old self' together because her 'old self' was the starship running Cortana. Her life inside the chief has changed her, and she can't make things like they were when she was on board the Autumn.]]



The Widow

the blues walked in and met me [[Elites]]

The Widow will get me [[Currently Unkown]]

the sleeping princess are in hiding [[Perhaps this implies more than one version of Cortana in existence?]]

One must be so careful these days.



the "pious flea" and "sleeping princess" (?) [[Chief and Cortana?]]

MARK but this flea, and mark in this [[Confused here. Likely to do with the chief.]]

don’t like it

I can't help it

a proper fool

a bad banana

unimaginable filth and stench; and disease

he can't write his name or read a book

[[The whole bit above is confusing, Sorry I can't be more help there.]]

I read, much of the night [[What else can Cortana do while she is alone?]]



Chapter II. Dana friendless and alone [[Helps to establish that Dana is Cortana, The Sleeping Princess.]]



Dana a friend/good guy. [[Affirming herself to keep herself sane.]]

Dana is not an artificial being. nor is she a program. She is human. She is flesh and blood. [[Shows us that she wants to be real, that is her biggest dream and greatest aspiration. Reality. She has decided her real self will be named 'Dana'.]]



Dana

You're as cuddly as the cat

You're as charming as the butterfly

the favorite of the plebeian masses

Being the friend

[[Describing her real self, talking about the friend she would be to the chief were she real.]]

you and I together allies, and if the queen pleased thrown into a condition of extreme danger [[Talking about her adventures with the chief]]

"Of course I will stick. [[Chief's reply to can you stick it? Lol!]]

I'll stick by you [[Her own silent reply.]]

though thin and though thick!"

best friend

This one means you're happy: :) [[She loves Chief, as the best friend in the world.]]



Chapter IV



The Sleeping Princess passed through a great variety of scenes, and met with many extraordinary adventures and narrow escapes, which, however, can not be here particularly detailed. [[Halo 1 - Cortana With the Chief]]

I found

a secret was revealed [[She found some interesting things running Halo]]

I should not be able to make any one understand how exciting it all was. [[She doesn't know how]]

I brought it home and hid it in a secret place [[http://www.ilovebees.com]]



Chapter V need help right quick, on the double [[Please reply with help]]



when I feel

That I shall never look upon thee more

Her name is Dana.

the house is so sad and lonesome [[Margaret's Persona, sad at Dana's absence, while she is in China.]]



Dana

being persuaded to

come back

to talk

to me [[This may have to do with the help]]



Well, I will tell you

that secret

I found [[Our reward for helping]]



maybe you can help me (?) [[The final summative question.]]



T-U-R-T-L-E Power! T-U-R-T-L-E Power! T-U-R-T-L-E Power! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Power! [[Another hint as to the help.]]



love [[Could it have significance? I love bees? Ah well, not likely.]]



*** END: FULL LICENSE *** [[Programming code?]]


[[Yep, that's all I've done. Hopefully this helps us.]]

The way it's spelled out DOES suggest turtle is an anagram and/or stands for something.

I think the first Dana, who is the sleeping princess is the Covenant AI, called DANA. The second Dana is Dana of the website, who is the neice of the beekeeper, who is human. That is why it says she is not AI, but human.

This history is talking of both DANAs. There are two involved here.

But why do you think the covies have an AI called DANA? Is this in the book or something? Or just, you know, something crazy you thought..?
