okay.. does anybody really know the real reason why ilovebees, is destroyed? a rumor has it that "operator" contacted Dana, and from there attached itself into her email, thus infecting the site.. Who is the operator? i have some things i would like 4 u to read and ponder apon..
HALT - MODULE CORE HEMORRHAGE
Control has been yielded to the
SYSTEM PERIL DISTRIBUTED REFLEX.
This medium is classified, and has a
STRONG INTRUSIVE INCLINATION.
PHASE 1 COMPLETE: Network throttling has eroded.
In 14 days this medium will metastasize.
COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL: 27:14:02:29:061

Make your decisions accordingly
mission accomplished
It's over.
I made the Operator happy.
I protected Aunt Margaret.
I am so relieved.

This is how I did it:
Make yourself useful, the Operator told me. Help me track the rogue process.
I can't see the rogue process, she explained. So I need you to be my eyes for me.
She gave me these orders: Check the server log for modifications and unusual activity. Put up tags on the site so I know exactly where the process is working.
So I spent the day tagging the site with new text. Pulling random phrases out of a book, my favorite book actually, because using familiar words made it seem less scary, and guys, I was actually a little nervous. Okay, a lot nervous.
I tried not to be nervous. I watched the server. I posted Sterne's phrases when I saw the rogue process, and I posted the time it was there so the Operator would know.
After 8 hours, the Operator told me I had fulfilled my mission. Nothing dramatic happened. But I guess I did my job.
A lot of you told me that I was wrong to even think about cooperating with Melissa. Some of you told me to wait just a little longer, until we had a better plan.
But many more of you said: Dana, do whatever you have to.
And so I did.
Aunt Margaret is safe.
Thank you for understanding. I did what I had to

What is going on?
What is going on?
Theory # 2
A military spacecraft 1 from the Halo universe has crashed 2 on Earth. All the crew are apparently dead 3 . The AI controlling the craft, called the Operator 4 , is being repaired by a small robot which it calls a spider 5 . It doesn't find the experience very pleasant 6 . The Operator was very badly damaged and spent a while in delirium, not knowing where it is 7 .
In the initial stage, the Operator managed to connect itself to Dana's phone line. It then took over her website and email account 8 . It is trying to signal 9 to any survivors from the crew on the planet 10 , but it's worried that its enemies will find it 11 .
Dana tries to fix her website, accidentally erasing sections of memory that the Operator has hidden there away from the spider 12 . The Operator seeks revenge but doesn't seem able to get it yet 13 .
While the spider is fixing the Operator, it's causing random dumps from its memory onto the website 14 . This includes snippets of conversation from its military crew. It seems that the ship was on the way to its HQ 15 to warn them that the enemy was going to nuke 156/sup] a planet called Troy, called "glassing" in Halo slang.[sup]17
The AI's next move is to try to distribute itself over a wider area of computers 18 .

{14} Hacker? Traitor? Fifth columnist (no that's ridiculous). Just in over her head? No. The Spider warning's been deployed. She had every warning that a classified medium was under repair. She just kept purging. Too bad for her. Checking the wiring.

{15} "1st Lt Sorenson: We have to drop the mission. We have to bug out of here right now and get word back to HQ. An evac on this scale they need every second."
{16} "1st Lt Sorenson: Not even Standish would let them glass a planet if he knew it was coming"
{17} "If we bug out and scramble home to warn HQ about Troy, people like Standish will say we've already compromised a huge tactical advantage"
{18} "... survive evade reveal escape. And to do that, first thing is to GET OUT OF THIS BOX"
TODO: the Operator seems to be surprised to discover a sign of a Flea (another AI?). What is the Flea, and how does the Flea relate to the story? Is it just another delirium artefact?
Earth to fight.
The Byzantine message can mean a number of things or nothing at all. But if you follow the blogspot from the link at the page's bottom, you'll learn that "Dana" could very well be in big trouble. On a human interest level, she is looking to travel to China and she doesn't want to leave her mom in the lurch with a broken Website and corrupted email, but in a much larger scale, she may be running from the potential end of Earth. The short and long of it is that an entity or entities of unknown origin have hijacked her site in preparation for something, and that by using email and the Internet they're able to prepare this battle, or worse yet, invasion of Earth.
The theories are out there. Way out there. But as any Bungie fan can tell you, the development studio encourages conspiracy theorists. Hundreds of posters on this www.bungie.net and other boards are speculating about what all these strange messages mean. Fans of Bungie see connections in this viral campaign to, among other things, the original Halo Cortona Letters (a pre-Halo series of letters that served the same purpose), Marathon (Bungie's first popular FPS series on the Mac), and naturally the Xbox. Go here for the best and clearest interpretations (or at least I think they are…). And after an awful lot of reading, one can string together enough "evidence" to connect this "occurrence" to previous Bungie tricks and riddles, to Dana's hijacked site to Halo 2 and the content residing within it.
What's somewhat clear is that the "hijacker" who created the message is using computer code language of some kind to communicate. Communicate what, exactly? Each day we find out more. It's also observing Dana. From the strange soup of various threads and anagram readings a few ideas have surfaced. One idea sounds pretty reasonable: The "invasion" of Earth by the Covenant or perhaps another alien life form should happen about a month before Master Chief arrives on Earth. The countdown is apparently part of a series of phases. At the end of the countdown, Earth, in the Halo 2 universe, will be invaded. The next phase? Not sure yet. But come November 9, we know that Master Chief lands on Earth to fight.
A conspiracy, for the old release date 4 halo2?
i dunno, well im hopefully looking towards lots of feedback below, so ill ttyl
