The transmission itself though is only a record of the firing, the log recorded the firing 100,000 years ago but the transmission could be from the present.

The Halo 3 site's servers (well the open one anyway) are now clickable and redirect to the former Bounce Path Control. Not sure how long it's been that way but obviously they changed it since none of that page was clickable before. That's probably the staged rollout to the public not closely following the game, though who knows what they'll think when faced with the Server.

I've found the halo3 site to be sketchy in general in firefox. Even after clearing the cache sometimes the main window where the servers are remains blank. I guess I can chalk this up to that, then.

Mine does the same, and I use a PC and Iexploder. Glad to hear you mac and Firefox users having the same issue.

I agree that we have to look at both sides of this log (Halo time period and past), but a spartan firing the Halos to destroy all life in the universe just to get rid of the flood seems unlikely. Also, I've also read all of the Halo books, but D-Com doesn't necessarily mean its human. Could be the D-frequency/band for a forerunner. But I definitely agree that we should look at both sides of this. What if, instead of looking back 100,000 years ago, we look ahead to the future? Maybe the firing of the Halos takes place in Halo 3? Who knows. But I think both are definite theories.

Taking a look a possible numerical hints:

If we were to assume that the numbers at the ends of Transmission060107 and Slide_Ref070107 were dates (which seems to be a recurring spec that's thrown out there), and uhh... assuming the Forerunners used the Gregorian Calendar?

What if in between the dates the Transmission was initially sent, 06-01-??07 and 07-01-??07 on the Slide Ref. is when the original activation of Halo by the Forerunners occurred?

Halo wipes out the Flood's food, that much we all remember from the first game, resulting in them starving to death. But what if something, somehow managed to survive... much like cockroaches are supposed to be able to survive a nuclear blast, an event that otherwise incinerates all other life?

Enter the Slide Ref. If indeed, the Forerunners had created some sort of area that would be able to protect them from Halo's wrath, and if indeed that was the first time Halo had ever been activated, it would seem logical to me that the Forerunners still alive followed up on the firing of Halo, able to do so, possibly through the Monitors on each Halo.

The slide itself seems like something that would be commissioned to detect remnants of life. The title "Flood Containment Control" doesn't exactly lend itself to this, but assuming that the slide really is what most people have come accept it as (strep throat bacteria), what if it is the "sole survivor" of Halo's activation? That this bacteria, somehow, became the only food source available to the Flood, or even possibly, evolved to something else, something more tangible for them?

Thoughts?
