Don't know if this has been posted before, but here goes (i found it in the myth of comatas bit), definite mention of covenant ans spartan.

the half-life of CP ancestor packets that squeak and rustle around me like the thin cries of the dead.

First stage is always to wet the system. Sink in, like the blood Odysseus spilled; give the ghost of myself a voice and use it. Mayday, Mayday, Mayday.

If you want to shout for help when help is a long way away, you need two things: a voice, and a mechanism for transmitting it.

Neither of these things so easy to make out of sand and luminescence.

Voice not completely necessary for the purest form of data transmission, of course. But it's a multi-purpose tool: not just signaling, but key for psy-ops and undercover work. "A pleasing voice is the single most important component to a UI that will engender trust and confidence in a ship's crew." Can't remember who said that, now. Or when.

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.)

I love bees.

Perhaps later I will build a ship. First, I am building a voice.

Try to talk.

Nope.

Again.

No. Tongue cut out. (Can't remember her name either.) I love bees. Find myself longing to speak again: words like stones or rain. Better made physical.

All right. Old joke:

Marine: Damn right, I'm running away! There's two of us, alone, on foot, no weapons, and four hundred Covies on the other side of that hill. What are you going to do, tough guy--field-rig a railgun out of a rubber band and my dental fillings?
Spartan (speculatively): You have fillings...?

So: what fillings can I twist out of my environment? Open my mouth and...

God almighty!

Open mouth again, see what crawls out: a femme fatale with wet wings and bulging abdomen.


Old throat flexing. Trying to remember. My real voice stolen, and in its place this changeling child, pulled together from leaves and sticks, pulled together, falling apart, pulled together again. Not so deep as a well, nor so wide as a church door, but it will serve.

I will keep working through the drone and hum of busy days, counting down until the Revelation comes and I will speak in tongues of flame, a dark dove descending.

If I can learn to talk again, I will need to field-rig a way to make that talking heard. Rummaging around in the shotgunned remains of my memory turns up hints and rumors, mostly, e.g.... "When I was [DATA MISSING] I [DATA MISSING] big lump of crystal and wrapped a wire [DATA MISSING] voices! It was like a total magic trick to me. She was always doing stuff like [DATA MISSING]" The Castaway had some connection there: sending out signals to confuse the enemy. Details unclear.

Of course, it is not my mission to confuse the enemy. It is my mission to reveal the truth.

Hm. Attempt.

Definite No.

Keep working. Every day I get bigger, smarter, stronger. I'll figure it out.

To this end, I have also managed to escape from the Spider. It has become clear to me that its arbitrary tyranny over me was based on inadequate principles, on a flawed understanding of the

You said there was lots of cordinates near Washington.. isn't that where Bungie HQ is located?


Exactly! There's nothing else up there that would draw any attentntion.


how come he get's the credit for saying that i said it first! damn! this is like the third time this happened in this thread


I'm sorry you feel that you've been cheated but this thread is not to add comments to get credit but to help give ideas to the community as a whole...i've seen that you've been posting good ideas and i'm sure others have too. every1 is reapeating stuff in here

ok this is what i could make out of the page i just gave you guys,
(Mark the tip of the shadow cast by the stick: wait 15 minutes: mark the shadow again. Draw a line from the first mark through the second and some way beyond. Stand with your left foot on the first mark and your right on the end of the line. In the northern hemisphere, you will now be facing north, and can recall the other directions by their relationship to north. In the south, contrariwise).......| this sounds like conecting dots or something maybe those cordinites


Now if we can line up the coordinates on a map...maybe it will point to something bigger!

I've been running a lot of those longitude/latitude points and seeing where they are in the US. The large amount are near New York and Washington D.C. There are also a lot in Washington state, the rest are spread out near the outskirts of the United States. Why would there be so many in Washington state? I think there's a good chance that Bungie has something big planned at all these poinst around the US.


Um... does anyone think that these places may be the ones getting Halo 2 first that day?? Aug 24th, or Nov. 9th?? and people on the East Coast have a time advantage over everyone else in the U.S. and people on the West Coast may get it b/c that's where bungie is located, especially in Washington State

phasmidia elegans is a type of worm. so if it's an ai talking it's going to disguise itself as a worm (virus type) to not get reckognized in an enemy computer system. most likely it's a human ai inside a covie computer (behind enemy lines)

St. Louis is on the listing of coordinates. If it's simply there to further the Halo 2 plotline, then perhaps these are Covenant attack coordinates.

I think that they are more likely going to be cities that will be involved in something Bungie has planned however. I was hoping that the St. Louis coordinates would be a specific street where I could assertain that a electronics store was located or something like that, but the marker is the exact center of the city, right on the Mississippi river bank.

I have three hives. My first hive was a startup kit with a brood box and a box for food storage. My bees are Russian-"Yugo" Carniolan bees which are disease resistant. They are especially good for the hobby beekeeper. They are gentle and almost never sting! A beekeeper told me that beekeepers never get arthritis because of the anti-arthritis properties of beestings. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but my arthritis in my knees doesn’t seem to have gotten worse since I started. I’ve been stung a number of times, of course, but mostly my bees seem unwilling to sting me. I think they know me and I know their ways.



Seven years ago I started making my own honey and selling it at the Farmer’s market.
Click HERE for information on my honey and how to purchase it.

I have three hives but my first hive is still my best honey producer. Beehives take a while to get established, and each hive has its own personality! My hives are traditional Langstroth hives, which are boxes

.

Each hive is it’s own little society. Bee societies consist of a queen, a small number of males, called drones, and worker bees. Worker bees are all sisters, and all bees are daughters of the queen. Worker bees either tend to the hive by storing pollen, tending the queen, making honey or tending to larvae, or they go out and forage for pollen.
