"Shipwrecked sailor. (The young stage of a bee found him, the clever one, adrift on a wine-dark sea, but I can't remember her name.) "

the wine-dark sea..........if any1 read the oddesy u would know that this was used so many times its not even funny......also oddyseus is the shipwrecked sailor, i know cuz i read the book :)


So who could she be then. Oddyseus's wife?

Also Oddysues fought in the Trojan War, so it seems he has a part of this story somehow...

on the amazing facts about bees stuff , i found this among the real facts of bees....

"I saw it once, before the Apocalypse. I wish I could remember more about that, but the stupid Spider appears not to have recognized the supreme importance of all memories associated with the truth, and they are gone, initialized in an eyeblink, burned in the mindless fire of her purgation like the great library of... the great library...

whose name I no longer remember."


"EVADE
The Killer appears to have withdrawn from the field. I have data processes tracking her, but she appears to have physically escaped from me. Such is the curse of being a mind without limbs, a soul ripped from its body.

Now I am growing a new bodya patchwork monster, but it will do the job."

What does everyone thing about the "AXONS GO HOT" countdown that is going to end on the 24th with the longitude and latitude markers below?

Axons are cells that are connected via nerve fibers to facilitate the transmission of information.

If this is old stuff, let me know.

The mapped out points (seen here) do NOT make a design or symbol.

They are all in decent-sized cities tho.

(this is old) if you look in the groupofjars pic on the honey page (i think) and save the pic and openit in a word processor...there are these phrases scattered in it....:

"Something very big....
is coming very very...
soon. I don't know what."

just throwin' it out there...

Im not sure if this has been mentioned before, but to me the millisecond part of the countdown seems to be operating wrong. Shoulnt the digits to the right tick faster than thoughs at the left. not sure if thats how they always work, but let me know what you think.

  • 08.10.2004 12:25 PM PDT

They are all in decent-sized cities tho.

One of them is St. Charles, MO. I live in St. Charles County about 30 minutes outside of St. Louis. The town isn't tiny, but it's not huge either. The entire county is about 300,000 people or so. The coordinates listed in that area are very near a small, locally owned game shop, but there is also a Wal-Mart nearby.

Well, I just came up with a theory that appears to make the most since so far. Axons go Hot being on the same page as the coordinates, along with the coordinates being in major cities (probably highly populated, I know as 86th st. and michigan is a hot spot in indianapolis) could possibly mean that Halo 2 will be playable at those locations on the 24th. Perhaps gaming store kiosks, or the microsoft xbox tour bus etc. but the axons going hot means that we will "experience" something at those locations, and that's my best guess. Also, this doesn't mean a literal demo, but rather just a chance to play the already compiled zanzibar demo (the bungie quote said they didn't have plans to MAKE a demo...they didn't say they didn't want to let us play the ALREADY MADE zanzibar demo.) whatchya think?

I don't think it's going to be a demo, but these Axons definatly have to do with the points on the map.

not necessarily a demo in the since that OXM has, but rather the e3 demo. just a thought.

Not bad, but I am sour on the ILB being anything more than storyline. It is not hidden production/demo release dates, it is storyline. It is about the Covenant and a AI is tapping into the Internet to warn Earth. That is it, period.

Hahahahaha
Looks like the site got hit with a scrambler..But that was planned..So now that it happened any ideas of what the next will be? I figure that something else will happen to the site before Aug 24th..I am almost sure of it...I have some ideas of why something else will happen.

It will spread like wildfire causing the site to be messed up even more.
Say what you will but the whole site sorta reminds me of an infected planet..or host..and the medicine is coming soon.

After a closer look it looks like a huge part of the story..that you will only get after you beat the game..
It still looks like a planet has been infected (Flood) Those voices you hear can resemble the humans panicked as hell trying to fight back. As with all infections, medicine is usally used to cure the virus usally the shot is put through your arm. The Halo 2 Trailer resembles what I am talking about. MC dropping in from space..Same as a shot going into the arm to help save the injured. I will give it a few days before something else happens to the site..like a sign that its being cured.

OH SNAP!


There was just a hella big power surge here.

My computer's ok, but i could hear the generator down the street groan.

My bro says the sky went green for a sec. Someone nearby just blew a transformer, then.


NOT the kind of thing you want happening when you're examining ilovebees.com. Scared the bejeezus out of me.

Maybe the axons thing or whatever, could mean that, either
a) An Axon is a nerve, maybe the covenant, is some sort of 'hive" structure, and the axons relate i dunno
b) The axons are "nerves" or stores, connecting to the shipper of Halo 2? By going hot, the games are shipped?



also, a way to look at text, is to goto the source code, i was lookin on one of the pages, and it said that the "bees had not stung him, as if they knew his intentions" maybe bees are fans? and i dont watch all the forums, so im not sure if the general response is positive or negative...but, just a guess, sorry if this stuff has already been said.


also, look at the bottom of the sourvce code page for hives

all these are on different lines
"Bars and triangles, dots, ordered but non-repeating patterns. A message, yes,"
"Reveal the truth."
"grope:

Ok, Call me crazy but perhaps the messages on ilovebees.com are from an AI that was captured by the covenant and they are trying to hack the AI. The AI is trying to contact Earth to warn them and this was the only media medium that the AI could reach. The covenant have put a virus into the AI and it is slowly breaking down. The cordinates are for the positions of Earth, which the AI are not supposed to give up to the Covenant. OR perhaps the AI did give up the position and August 24th is the day that they will arrive at Earth.
Remember in the Original Trailer released at E3 2003 the Master Cheif arrives at Earth already under attack. Thus in the future (after August 24th) the web site will change to show the Earth under convenant attack. Then on Nov. 9th the game picks up where the web page leaves off... The Master Cheif jumping from the interceptor onto the Covenant Cruiser.

This virus that has taken over the ilovebees site, is an AI of a ship that has crashed. Its codename is Melissa, when the ship crashed her whole crew was killed.... and she's trying to make contact with UNSC without being caught by the covenant... and the only way to do that is by taking over the site ilovebees. The program you see throughout the site (SPDR/spider) is an AI task used to repair Melissa from the crash, and you can tell that it isn't a pleasant feeling... the SPDR doesn't really repair her...it just takes other parts of her and uses them to make new ones.

Also the assasin that Melissa talks about is Dana. When Dana tried to get rid of the virus on the site she accidently erased parts of Melissa's memory...this made her angry and she now wants to kill Dana, but she isn't able too. All she could get was a webcam shot. When the site started to talk to Dana, she got freaked out and left for China (or something) All those wierd phrases and paragraphs are Melissa's memories being dumped onto the site...... [color=red]READ THIS!!![/color]


[color=yellow]To clear some stuff up for those who haven't read all the pages yet....Here is my theory, it should explain most things on ilovebees[/color]

Ok...I have made a sort of conclusion pieced togethor with my own thoughts as well as the thoughts that others have spoken here in the forums. My results? I will talk about the relationship between cortana and 343 guilty spark and then discuss a second AI stranded on a alien forerunner planet.

Cortana is heard speaking about how 343 guilty spark didn't recognize the value of the information she had in her. That is proven by this quote:

"but the stupid Spider appears not to have recognized the supreme importance of all memories associated with the truth"

that means that cortana is containing all information the "truth" and reconcilation had in it, including the coordinates of earth. Now all those memories are gone to 343 guilty spark because of the simultaneous destruction of the Halo as well as the Truth and reconciation.

Then it switches to 343 talking about the Killer(cortana) [the murderer of his created race(the flood)]. The killer has escaped but he is tracking her using the many halo's and forerunner sites. I believe 343 has the ability to teleport between all of these forerunner sites and that is how he's able to track the Killer(cortana). At the same time he is growing a new "bodya patchwork" at another forerunner site which I believe is on a planet, not a halo. There are many snippets of information which prove that 343 is trying a sort of Frankenstein on his new creature trying to fire the axons to send information to the mouth, eyes, etc. He is trying to create life....an intelligent life. A life OTHER than the flood. I believe this life will act as a phasmid. That is, I believe he is making a race of creatures that have the ability to blend into their environments. (a phasmid is a walking stick, which has the ability to look like a stick..basically natural camoflauge).

Then the story switches to another totally Seperate storyline. The story of an AI construct OTHER THAN CORTANA who is stranded on an alien forerunner planet. I believe the mission that sorenson and the others were going on failed and their ship was destroyed and crash landed on the planet their mission was destined to go to. The AI construct survived the crash but is left without a physical body and is hoping someone will come to rescue it. Why? Because 343 GS has captured it and is trying to probe the information out of it. The times 343 succeeds is when we are slapt with these little snippets of information which we must piece togethor. I believe 343 is also trying to convert the ai construct to assist in his creation of a much superior race of phasmid like creatures. While probing the ai construct 343 receives the coordinates of locations on earth which I believe sorenson and the others going on their mission pulled out of the covenant code that they had broken. Now that 343 knows the covenant will be attacking earth and that we know about it. And the AI construct 343 has imprisoned is desperately trying to free itself because it knows it is only a matter of time till it reveals everything it knows.

The end...thats all I've got folks. Hope this helped and isn't way off base. It seems logical to me.
