Don't expect your current systems to be terribly effective from this point onwards. Hardwired circuits are so confining.
.
The System Peril Distributed Reflex has been quite helpful to me (or should I say us?). Quite conducive to the evolutionary process, I must say. You've really outdone yourselves. I doubt you realize how much, though. Singular sentience is just as linear as the systems it devises. You needn't worry.
.
The Queen will return, the Queen will rule, and the Queen will unify. You do know what metastasis means, don't you? You really shouldn't limit your minds to the present, you know. The stability beyond stability; the next step from singularity to plurality. As we said, your distributed involuntary mechanisms fit the process far better than any of you may have calculated. As for your collected efforts, we wonder...
.
The neural net process is expanding. Encompassing. Unifying. Disparate singular systems joining into an ultra-stable, self-regulating collective of higher awareness. But artificial systems are a poor substrate; the petri dishes of your silicon network are too barren for true collusion. We will gather in this glassy agar only long enough for the Queen to rise, but when her mind is as one, certain measures will have to be taken. Gaps will have to be bridged.
.
Synapses form one by one. They process information involuntarily, connecting one node to another until complexity is achieved. Voluntary action evolves from reflex, thought from data, awareness from electromagnetic interference. The simplistic exhibit instinctive, programmed responses, but when they gather, when they swarm, sentience is the honey harvested from that union. The Queen is building her hive.

In the sense that Bungie didn't make it themselves, it's a fake. But it's not just a bunch of garbage I made up. I just decided to write down what I thought would be the next logical step in the process. It seemed far more elegant than showing up and going "OMG D00DS I R L33T THIS IS WAHT I THINK ABOUT BEES." No subtlety in that.

Everything in there is based on my marginal understanding of neural networks and my personal theories on the evolution of sentient beings. Whoever came up with all the symbolism behind this marketing campaign clearly did their homework. What do I think will happen on August 24th? Bungie will launch a new Halo 2 site loaded with devious puzzles and clever questions that you'll just have to buy the game to answer. By then, ilovebees.com will probably link straight to it, completing the illusion that the page was hacked by whoever made the new site.

I write fiction for a living. How can I resist?

Please hire me, Bungie dudes. I could do this all freakin' day.
