"I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade...
It may be he shall take my hand, and lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath...
I have a rendezvous with Death...
And I to my pledged word am true, I shall not fail that rendezvous."
-Alan Seeger

Bungie themselves said that the datapads give a clue to the direction that the Halo universe was headed, and the datapads even refer to "Creators," (which IMO, seems like a discussion among AIs, referring to humanity as said Creators,) and how only the immensity of space has kept them safe from "wolves among the stars" (see first entry)

I guess this could be referring to the Covenant as the "Wolves," but Bungie's comments on this makes me think they were referring to something else... say, "An ancient Evil"????

Reading through the rest of the entries, there are many interesting topics, such as those talking about the ORION project that almost sound like, if we're to apply this to the speculations for Halo 4, Master Chief's personal "destiny" that Microsoft hinted on involves the Spartan-II project itself, and possible evolutions of that.


Any other thoughts?
