You think the Brutes will imprison the Elites and kill the head prophet then take control over the covenant for themselves?

I believe this was brought up earlier but it is an excellent point that I'd like to bring up again.

MELISSA f
Usage: English, Greek Mythology, Ancient Greek
Pronounced: me-LIS-a
Means "bee" in Greek. This was the name of a nymph that cared for young Zeus in Greek mythology. It is also the name of the fairy who helps Rogero escape from the witch Alcina in the poem 'Orlando Furioso' by Ariosto.


so we can assume that the speaker on ilovebees is melissa or the queen bee. that leaves us with the spider(widow), flea and the sleeping princess. What are the greek names for those 3?

Were there any references to "Hadrian" at ILB.com?
I look up a Roman Empire timeline, and it said that the emperor of Rome in the year 117 was a man named Hadrian. I read a little about him, but I couldn't see any Halo connections. I guess I'll go check out ilovebees and look for some similarities..

Does Alexandier the Great and his army have any link to Halo 2? Because he was very powerful smart and always used strategy and battle tactics in war and nobody seemed to gain his title after he dide.He sounds alot like John (Master Cheif) as far as his army goes im not sure what link that has in Halo or Halo 2.The only thing is master Cheif isnt dead unless he does die in halo 2 which I doubt.He (Alexandier) did die from a fever and after getting hit in battle by every weapon made in that time and ended up getting alot of battle scars.Although maybe Alexandier's army maybe linked to the other spartans or spartan 3's if any of them end up in halo 2 that is.I got this info from the History channel dont know if it has any link to Halo 2 though.

Heres something I wrote earlier dont know if it will help or if it has any connections with Halo 2.

I checked out ILB.. No luck. That site is so messed up it's hard to make any connections there. I did see a lot about spiders, but nothing about Hadrian. I may do a search on him and see if he was famous for something that has a tie to Halo 2.
