About your terrorist message, Pelican Echo, it's kind of hard to understand parts of your grammatically incorrect rant, but I think I've found that you are equating Americans to the Covenant, and the Iraqis to the Humans in Halo. Well, I must show you one big difference. The Covenant in Halo 2 are killing innocent civilians, for no apparent reason. In the real world, Americans aren't killing innocent Iraqi civilians, we're killing insurgents, suicide bombers, et cetera. Also, the humans in Halo 2 posed no threat to the Covenant. We wouldn't have done anything to them. In the real world, Saddam Hussein was a threat to America and his own people. And here you are equating America with terrorists and Covenant? Talk about unpatriotic.


We attacked Iraq because they had weapons of mass destruction. They were not attacking us at all. We bombed Bagdad, killed innocent civilians. We are the super power of the world, similar to the Covenant's power in the Galaxy. Iraq isn't coming to our country and attacking us, are they?

[color=yellow] I think that the Humans invade the Covenant homeworld just like the Greeks invaded Troy. MC could capture a Covenant warship, and then he could sneak past covie defenses and onto the homeworld, where he would capture a Prophet. Then he could use the Prophet as leverage against the Covenant! There! I've got it! [/color]
Thats cool like a trojan horse thwey would think it is ther own ship and blam 100000 marines march onto the upprepared Covie soil.

but all the marines would get decimated (unless there werent any covenant defenses cuz the covies never thought of being attacked)

I think that Master Chief goes with the other Spartans and captures a Prophet for ransom.

I'm seeing alot more connections with Greek mythology than with Roman history. There are connections with both, for sure. But it seems like the Greek connections are alot more solid. Take a look at my last post about Arachnea.

More text from ILB...
'Melissa,' he called me Melissa, never / used my nickname"

In Greek mythology, Melissa is the "bee"-nymph, daughter of King Melisseus ("bee-man"), nursed Zeus when he was an infant, feeding him goat's milk. She later taught humans the use of honey, which could be fermented to form an intoxicating entheogen.

I was reading about the battle of Adrianople, and found that the Goth's
march on Adrianople began about the time Saint John had his revelation.
(The Apocalypse)

Here's some more fun with the number 117.
117 appears in a Marathon terminal. Note the references to History.
There's quite a bit referring to your find Cypriss. You may have
uncovered part of the Bungie tru7h.

In connection with my last post...

The word entheogen is a modern term derived from two Ancient Greek words, ενθεος (entheos) and γενεσθαι (genesthai). Entheos means literally "in God", more freely translated "inspired". The Greeks used it as a term of praise for poets and other artists. Genesthai means "to cause to be". So an entheogen is "that which causes (a person) to be in God".
