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
var chinatime = new Date(2004,7,24,6,7,0);
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 .


Footnotes

{1} "length: 120 meters crew: 40 cover: pleasure yacht"

{2} "MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY Ship. Wreck. Shipwreck."

{3} "Of course the crew won't come for me if they're all dead" "All lost! To prayers, to prayers! All lost!"

{4} "Just remembered something important: The Operator. That was my nickname. That's what the rest of the crew called me when they didn't call me... whatever my name was."

{5} "Gap in the clouds: head suddenly much clearer. The spider is working on me. I must be in very bad shape. "

{6} "Arachne hung herself, you know. Take a hint already. God my head hurts." "I WANT TO DIE I WANT TO- no. never that."

{7} "Could I be in traction in some sick bay, some hospital ward?"

{8} See Dana's blog, hotmail hack, etc.

{9} "I have to signal, I can't stay stranded here."

{10} First thing I should do, make a signal. The crew will come get me if they can."

{11} "But if I somehow am operating behind enemy lines, I don't want to draw attention to myself, either."

{12} "More damage, more memories gone: crew members I used to love obliterated, no trace left and she's going to pay for that."

{13} "The Spider crawling over me with her thin hairy legs and every few instants she sticks a needle into some synapse and stuff spews out of me"

{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. There's a lot of ways to skin a - can't even get to her stupid HOUSE through the stupid BOX: no central thermo controls, no slaved AI, nothing."

{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

Why did you ahve to post all that? You could have just made a link. And Bungie won't use the same site twice.

Then you realize you're not a mod and can't lock or delete threads.

I don't think Bungie would use ilovebees.com again, but it would be cool if they did another ARG for Halo 3.

Incase you didn't notice, the mods have locked and deleted all the threads relating to lyca.com which is supposed to be like ilovebees.com (just not confirmed with Bungie to relate to Halo 3) So if they will more than likely locked and deleted this.
