extremely deep; cryptum, IRIS, and the terminals are all woven together.

and since everybody keeps bringing up the idea of forerunner being alive i'll post this which is from iris and has being saying from the start the forerunner are alive.

Yet i was overruled when i presented this because Lord snakie was still around and was getting arrogant so i was knocked off.

"Defiant Reclaimer, he who will shatter the land and break the sky apart..."

excuse my ignorance but what was the purpose of the IRIS, were they promotional material for Halo 3 like AdjunctReflex?

Reach for Halo!

everything. Read the entire website since it is the only record left other than compound intelligence or the wretch halopedian.

We know that the didact used a halo array from IRIS, the forerunners are still alive, MB want to atone,etc.

The 'Iris' appeared on Cortana in Halo legends at the end of Origins 2.

I think something is piggybacking in Cortana, but it must be good if she can't pick it up.

That symbol is the forerunner number for zero and it was also used by AR in the IRIS campaign.

Forerunner symbols have lower level 2 dimensional meanings that we are able to understand and high level meanings that we can't current;y understand.

So "zero" could also mean anything else.


and some people think MB is indeed part of cortana based of the cortana letters.

In Halo 3 on legendary on the Terminals you see the Adjunct Reflex sign.

Hmmm 'ghost.713' keeps popping up, wonder if it holds significant importance... doubt it, but interesting nonetheless.

Popping up where?

"Defiant Reclaimer, he who will shatter the land and break the sky apart..."

ghost.713 -

AdjunctReflex mentions, Halo 3 terminal, IRIS campaign, hidden text in Warthog picture, author of fan art - 5 Halo books. Also the date 7/13 was the last day of E3 where Halo 3 was revealed... Furthermore it is in a URL of the ILoveBees website:
http://www.ilovebees.com/x.xx.713.ghost.713/non-auth/activity ongoing

I admit it's a minor recurring theme, but a recurring one nonetheless...

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

Gah. I loved the IRIS campaign.

Can you tell? *hint, coup*

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Yup, the Forerunners were pretty much outright said to still be alive in Server One:
