More word games ^_^


Penitent refers to feeling regretful pain or sorrow, includes repenting for offenses.

which contrasts with Guilty spark, which we all know what guilty means. PT red, GS blue. Red is hot (emotion) blue is cold (emotionless/strict numbers)

Guilty spark says his answer has always been to activate the halos in that situation, so in contrast Penitent tangent should probably play a larger role in the next halo game. Being a monitor, PT probably still adheres to protocol and whatnot but just like all the action movies where everything is a close call, maybe PT's "emotions" for having to kill all sentient life provides just a couple more seconds before activation that reveals another way deal with the flood without killing.

and 343 GS, 2401 PT
seemed like random numbers but 343 x 7 = 2401. random thought.

And it's your connection that's slower than turtle sex.

In........................................................Out .

hmm, nice, it would be a nice change to the super annoying 343 guilty spark who acts like nothing is happening when ur desperately fighting off 4 billion flood. (exaggeration)

I am...whimsical today.

It would be difficult for him to play a role, last I remember of him he was under Gravemind's control. However, there may well be a Monitor inside the Artifact on Earth (called 0 Annoying Ligtbulb). I can just imagine a showdown between the Monitors :)

...that doesn't turn you on?!?

Well a massive fight above you between loads of Sentinals would interest me, and theres alway something about the little guy (or lightbulb in this case) having vast power behind him.

However I'd settle for Monkey Island style fighting :)

I still don't know how gravemind was holding PT. since monitors can do the teleporty thingy. unless PT was just weak cause he looked a little beat up. maybe PT and gravemind know something between eachother.

I know penitent means to be regretful and want forgivness, but what does tangent symbolize?

Guilty Spark used two words also. GS means he is the guilty spark or the spark that caused the death of all life. He is guilty of the halos' activation. If he's guilty could he have been a liar on purpose to MC in the library? He may have caused it by being......well, evil and deseiving.
