By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

I'm not sure who to empathise with right now... My gut says Halsey, as it's clear that she doesn't know she's talking to Jul, and even Lasky was a bit of a dick in this episode.

I think that it was just shock from him, i mean, after all thats hapening, he wast thinking right and the bam! She's speaking to someone outside of his juristiction and possibly a hostile. The brig is probably just a cautionary measure.

But how did the essence of one of the composed people from New Phoenix get to Requiem? We'll they bring back the Didact that quickly?

inb4 Didact comes back saying 'I have returned.'

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.” – Psalms 46:1-3

The composer is forerunner tech people.

Slipspace is there world, The composed humans are likely sent to some sort of buffer system and stored for use as Prometheans.

So fades the great 6 month harvest of my anticlimactic pseudo-death.

"Time was your ally human. But now it has abandoned you. The Forerunners....have returned. And this tomb... is now yours". - The Didact

The fact that Jul was the one chatting with Halsey has suprised me, was expecting it to be a Forerunner AI or the Librarian.
About time that we have a Covie villian who outsmarts the UNSC.

I doubt they will kill Thorne, knowing Jul he would probably use him as a hostage or more likely, take the MJOLNIR, examine it and use that tech for the Sangheili soliers.

-blam!- is hitting the fan and something big is coming.

@Thompsnow

I hope it's the Didact as well, he's going to be pissed off after his defeat.

In one of the pictures of the phromethean AI you could see a device exactly like the one in the infinity that transported thorne and glassman to Requiem, so basicaly the Mantle's aproach teleported a Device (which i belive to be a Long range teleportation Device.

I love Jul, I thought his development in The Thursday War was by far the best thing Traviss has written since Human Weakness and he's a great antagonist. I certainly wasn't expecting him to be the one contacting Halsey, most of me is kind of hoping that the Covies get one over humanity and win this.

Yeah, I don't really fault him for having her moved to the brig, it's a decision that makes sense. Palmer though, she just really annoyed me this mission, "yeah, let's point a gun at the little old lady who's completely un-armed and can't do anything" -__- Spartan Ops is really starting to make me dislike Palmer. I want to like her, but the way they keep portraying her :/

Anyways...I've had enough of this Halsey hate-train, they need to seriously -blam!- drop that -blam!- already...

  • 12.03.2012 1:51 PM PDT

Tbf, we have started to see a party that offers some degree of understanding, or at least willing to not be antagonistic towards her.

I think we'll be seeing some Palmer development. She's too hateful to not have some kind of turning point.

Everyone cares about opinions, that's why we socialize on a forum with strangers.

Now if only 343i would start developing missions that have something to do with the excellent cutscenes...

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

I seem to recall the last 2 missions being about finding Thorne. Just saying.

Certainly not as good as the last 2 episodes, but the story is chugging along. Wasn't expecting it to be Jul contacting Halsey. I was expecting it to be an AI from the Assembly, for some reason. They seemed to have the inside scoop on a lot of stuff even pre-war, so it's not a stretch to think they know about Requiem. (Unless they're all gone now, and I'm pulling this out of my ass)

I agree about the Halsey Hate thing (where 343 needs to drop it). But, I can kinda understand the Spartans' fear towards her; as far as they know, she might have some sort of MJOLNIR kill-switch, or something. All they know about her is that she's a war-criminal, and I'm sure ONI has painter her in a much darker light than she is. People have said that she's a "fall guy" for the Spartan Project, in the public eye. (And the Military's eyes too, it seems)

Maybe it's a fallback device that houses all the AIs aside from the Composer. If the Ark - Halos, then it's "mystery box" - Composer.
