Not the best, but not the worst. And I'm satisfied with that.
knock, knock
Uh...is anyone forgetting about i love bees? I know that it's sort of unclear whether or not it's canon, with Joe Staten saying it's not, but Frankie later saying it is, but it has a load of information about civilian culture. And for instance, Chatters and Opticans were originally introduced in i love bees, meaning at least some of the things in there are canon. I'll list down a few things here as well.
-A Surveillance Grid is used by the Colonial Administration Authority to keep track of it's civilians electronically. Bank accounts and personal identity are kept track of by using the grid, removing the need for individual keys. While technically anyone can go offline, they would have a severe disadvantage because of the numerous features governed by the grid, features such as the privileges to purchase goods or drive private cars, all of which can only be done while connected to the grid.
All of Earth's illegal immigrants are off the grid, and are essentially second-class citizens. They must either depend on charity or perform illegal work to make a living. Because they cannot keep electronic accounts, they use other forms of currency such as poker chips or a barter system to make business transactions. Certain businesses are aimed specifically at them, such as the Packbus.
Kinsler's police car was off the grid, and used the lack of surveillance to his advantage in his failed attempt to -blam!- Sadie.
-Unauthorized cloning is illegal. The crime is punished harshly, and is considered to have a severity on par with that of modern day child -blam!-.
-A PQI is a lie detector used primarily by the Colonial Administration Authority police.
-Moons is a variant of pool. Its revised rules include reversing the laws of movement. A ball, when struck hard, will move slowly, whereas if it is struck softly, it will move with greater speed.
Also relevant and confirmed to be apart of canon, Flip music is a genre that is a descendant 21st century heavy metal. Johnson is huge fan of flip, which is often played at dance clubs. (Although a lot of people dislike the genre, namely John 117).
Well this is all I can think of so far. More info on i love bees and related material can be found in the Halo wikia. Hope this helps.
