 		[Halo 2] [PUZZLE] Halo 2 "Conversations from the Univer
Ok, so for those who don't have it: In the Halo 2 Special Edition box there is a small book of communications between different characters. And some examples are 343 Guilty sparks log of events as the Halo was found and then destroyed... and a conversation Cortana had with another AI named Solipsil 2 years before she worked with the MC and destroys Halo.

But there are also Covenant conversations on of which is painful to read and I figured Misery loves company why should I have all the phun?

So I submit the last puzzle we are likely to find related to ILoveBees and Halo 2:

I've attached a Scan (black and white but large and readable) of both the poorly spelled one and one that is quit readable.

An example before we start:

 		It's a partial letter swap.. here's what I can see so far.

I -> E
U -> O
H -> A
0 -> C
7 -> M
P -> I

So,
7y surruw hnd hngir pri0idi 7i wpth righrd tu thi htru0pty hnd hirisy ht Hhlu.
My sorrow and anger irecede me with regard to the atrocity and aeresy at Halo.

So that doesn't entirely work, but perhaps in some cases we just use homonyms instead?

I'm confused...

 		The other interesting thing to note from that booklet is that an artifact was discovered on Coral. Neat. An ILB tie-in, even if it's only the name of a planet. Very Happy

 		Well, the sentence works grammatically, even if it's a wierd read.

That this particular Covie's "sorrow and anger precede" him, means that he can't get over himself he's so sorroful and angry. It's kinda like "pardon me for being so overly upset, but I can't help it."

What's next? I think we can do this, guys!

EDIT: Shh. I can't spell. Except I can. Except I'm too sleepy.

I think it's "precede" as in it is already known how sorrowful and angry he is.

EDIT: misspelled precede.

EDIT 2: Ok TridenT, we are making the same mistakes, but at least we're on the same page.

Go with what makes sense:

My sorrow and anger precede my with regard to the atrocity and heresy at Halo.

We shall avenge this destruction with some of this[?], and the [hmm...do we have any technical/Covenant names that could go here?] will show the humans what our strength looks like at close quarters.

 		Maybe with respect to 3prhihhnhl now would be a good time to add this:

Brute -> Jiralhanae
Drone -> Yanme'e
Elite -> Sangheili
Engineer/Savant -> Huragok
Grunt -> Unggoy
Hunter -> Lekgold
Jackal -> Kig-Yar
Prophet -> Prophet

We shall avenge this distruction with some of them, and the epraehanal will saom the abmans what our strength looks like at meose quarters.

We shall avenge this destruction with some of them, and the Jiralhanae will show the humans what our strength looks like at close quarters.

Someone look in the instruction manual. Is one of the Covie names for themselves close to that e word I have? Is it just a Brute?
