I don't know if this will help any in terms of Halo 3, but it might, you never know, so that is why I am posting this here. In case you guys have forgotten, in the collectors editions of Halo 2, there is a packet of "Conversations from the Universe" that contains many things important to the story line of Halo 2, and possibly Halo 3 and the new Halo book (the planet Coral). So, there is one particular passage from the Prophet of Truth to the Prophet of Mercy that is in some kind of code or alien language. Well, one day I was bored and decided to decode that passage. Here it is:
>>>Letter from truth to mercy about regret
To thine eyes, Prophet of Mercy
Dearest Brother,
I hope this finds you well. My sorrow and anger precede me with regard to the atrocity and heresy at Halo. We shall avenge this destruction with some of our own. Work proceeds apace on our battle plan. The Sangheili will do what is asked of them, and the Jiralhanae will show the humans what our strength look like at close quarters.
But this message concerns neither the planning nor the discovery of the Human homeworld. Rather I question Brother Regret's suitability for this great purpose.
I am aware of his tenacity and ambition, but I believe his youth and feckless reaching may prove to be grave risks to the perfection of this undertaking. You have noted his rashness in the past. And yet neither of us has acted.
I suggest that we continue as planned, but we would both do well to pay mind to Brother Regret, and provide wisdom and guidance as needed. This matter is too important to be left to inexperienced hands. Peity is no substitute for wisdom.
Perhaps I worry too much. You know that I embrace caution, but we cannot haul inexperience or arrogance at this great juncture. Be pure, vigilant, and never rest.
By my own hand
Prophet of Truth
Thoughts? Theories? Maybe a congratulations or two for actually figuring this out?
Or you could have gone here.
