Allright, i haven't seen much of this on the forums, so hopefully this will get into some good thinking.

Quote:
Something extraordinary had just been revealed - there was some kind of backup plan on par with the SPARTAN program, and Ackerson was behind it.

this is currently the only quote i'm bothering looking up, but there are some other things i'll point out. i'm not going to post a theory, i don't have enough facts but here are some things you can think about.
1) the above quote obviously tells us that there is some other plot device that Ackerson is working on...it's on par with the SPARTAN II project, and he's done everything he can to get rid of MC, and other spartans.
2) the files SIII , and CPOMDZ(Cpo. Mendez, former Spartan II trainer) with a astronomical chart reference outside UNSC 'controled' space. and King Under the Mountain which lead to the crystal in the forrunner complex benieth REACH

ideas?

In the S-III folder, there were complete files on all of the Spartans. There are DNA files, the complete medical records of all the Spartans, details on how they were altered, and information on the cloning techniques used to replace the kids. It appears the Ackerson seems very interested in the cloning part of the spartan program.

this and knowlede of forrunner locations.....interesting

mainly what i think about most of this is that Cononel Ackerson Attemped to clone/train SPARTAN III's on Delta Halo. he has the position and rank to do it, he's in charge of NavSpecWar projects, and he has the navigation from the rock MC picked up, he's interested in the cloning part of the Spartan program, and in the level Sacred Icon there are some unusual things.

right after you deactivate the Containment-Shield and cross the big trench on the platform you are immediately attacked by the flood. At first, nothing about this seemed unusual until I noticed that they were all human flood forms. This is strange because the humans that arrived on In Amber Clad couldn’t have been inside the wall for a long amount of time.

Near the end of the level Regret while you are on one of the gondolas, Miranda tells you that she encountered the shield that protects the library and can’t get any closer. She then goes on to say that she will try to find a way around it. The cutscene at the beginning of Sacred Icon takes place soon after regret is killed. You can also see the humans in one part of Sacred Icon, and they are only a few minutes ahead of you. That all leads me to believe that the Humans have only been inside the wall for a short time.

In Sacred Icon, you can hear a marine say “Proceed to the objective, we will hold out as long as we can” If you look out one of the windows, you can see a group of humans. This marine was saying he would stay there while the others went for the index. Then you will see him and the other marines get attacked by Human combat forms. How could there already be human combat forms?

Later on in the Sentinel Wall there are rooms with boxes of human helmets and gas masks. I find this very odd; because I don’t think the team that was trying to remove the index would want to weigh themselves down with boxes of extra helmets. They would wan to stay light and fast, not spend their time carrying around bulky boxes. Also in the level Quarantine Zone there are a lot of large human boxes. It just doesn’t make sense, why would you carry dozens of boxes with you when your mission is to get to the index and get out as fast as possible?

I have gone through Sacred Icon and Quarantine Zone and done a count of a the boxes. I found:

7 boxes of boots
4 boxes of gas masks
4 large boxes of something for warthogs
8 boxes of helmets
6 boxes of body armor
13 large boxes of food prep stations
2 large boxes of generators
about 10 other boxes

I can understand items like body armor and helmets but 11 food prep stations? It doesn't take that long to move through the Quarantine Zone, and they couldn't have needed to stop to eat 3-4 times. Also, why do they need generators? I think that this shows that there was something else going on in the quarantine zone.

Later in the level you hear a voice that says, “Negative ma’am, they are not covenant.” At First I thought that they were saying that whatever was attacking them(The Flood) was not covenant, But know I’m not so sure. Could he mean that the flood forms that are attacking him are not infected covenant, but something else, maybe humans?

....eh?

He's training another batch of spartans, fusing them with some sort of technology on halo. Most likely flood DNA so he'd have Spartans with regenerative capabilities simiar to sargeant johnson.

Or thats at least what most people think. PM me if you want to know more.

and more difficult to eradicatethan the other human troops.

Wow, dude. I never really picked up on those Sacred Icon/Quarantine Zone level details... Unless it's all a coincidence. But nice work, nevertheless. Got me thinking.

it was not ackerson that stole the info. it was cortana. in the fall of reach she took this info, took special notice of the cloning research, and she left ackerson's footprint there for people to find.
