Okay, first allow me to appologize in advance for flaming and whatnot. But I was recently on http://www.ilovebees.com and I happened to find something rather intriuging.

As you are all aware, there is presently a "Countdown to Wide Awake and Physical" on the ilovebees webpage. Now what I have found may boggle the brain...

I have calculated that the 199605 days that is currently on the timer, divided by 365.25 days, plus the current year (2006) is infact the year 2552. I am not going to be specific on the date, but it is later in the year. We are treading on uncharted grounds here. WE don't yet know what happens in that time.

Now we can knock off a couple of things that jump to mind. ilovebees.com was a hype for Halo 2 involvving a story about a renegade AI. If ilovebees holds true to this day, there is the possibility that "Wide Awake and Physical" must have a direct link to Halo 3, however, I don't belive it has a direct refferance to MC.

But there may be a refferance that is plausible. Cortana may be the target of the "wide awake and physical" clock. Becasue of the fact of her unknown status on High Charity (at the end of halo 2), we do not know anything of her status. However, we do know that she has an EXTREMELY large role in Halo 3 just through common sense of interpreting the announcment trailer. Therefor, the assumtion could be made that Cortana may be infact rampid (due to Graveminds takeover of High Charity etc etc) OR something has happened, or will happen to her to make events unflod in a way we could never expect.

One theory, just to toss one out and to spark your minds, is that she may embody something "physical" and her program will be its conscious mind. But I am not saying that is my opinion, it is one possibility of literally hundreds that could be brought fourth. it may not even be to do with Cortana.

And this is what brings me to this thread. I want to know what you guys think about the relation of ilovebees's countdown clock, to our newly admitted and highly anticippated Halo 3. You know, since the clock will coincidentely be hitting zero at the same time MC will be pwning covie nubs on earth, and the Ark will be surfacing, and the universe as we know it will be ending, or not ending. We don't know.

Thoughts, questions and queries please.

You are about two years late on this.

And it was such a long post too.

Hmm...what if all that was really based on Gravemind, and he's really an AI? Maybe he's even the AI Cortana references in the Covenant data banks in First Strike...a copy of him...the Flood infect things, so why not Gravemind, their AI as well?

This may sound too simple, but i believe the timer on ilovebees is simply the countdown until the Arc is activated. As we all know, SOMETHING was sure as hell activated in the announcement trailer. I believe it is the Arc, and I am one of those that believe the Earth will indeed be destroyed. A perfect and dramatic ending to a perfect and dramatic franchise.

im pretty sure it has something to do with the spartans. They did go through alot of enhancements and training and would make sense seeing as it is called "wide awake and physical"

But you're missing the "Wide Awake and Physical" artribute. Awake is a human term used when something is awakining. I'm not saying the it sin't the Arc, but it would make more sense if it was an AI or a Human in cold storage? Spartan-IIIs?

Allthough the counter has been couting down since who knows when if we are talking the time of MC and whatnot, so it could be the arc. or maybe something that we don't know about yet? Perhaps an achient AI of somekind?

AFAIK, the countdown is pointing to the day the Covenant made landfall on earth - the opening missions of Halo 2.

It's been a while, but I'm fairly sure that that was what we determined.

But I still don't think that answers the "Wide Awake and Physical" aspect.

Yes. Bump = lock.

-- Steve'll point out that "Wide Awake and Physical" referred to the AI in the ILB story... the countdown points to the time in the Haloverse that (big ILB storyline spoiler here... you may not want to read the last part of this tagline) this AI returns home.
