attempting (almost certainly badly) to think outside the box a bit - could the meta data be there to point us at the original image?

Which brings up the question, why? What motive would they have? Maybe the original images have messages in them?

I did see the Getty image, but I'm just not sure what to do with it yet. I mean, there's kind of a backwards 7 if you look at it...

I tried opening that one as a text file but didn't find anything.

Got to be the link

I am thinking this getty image thing has got to be something - especially if the catalog is in chinese and you can't get the english version of the catalog for purchase. This could mean they got Getty to play along and throw us for a loop.

The image may not relevant, but the links need to be. HAve we found this Lowry fellow? His name comes up blank except for this getty image link. He's got to have been published somewhere else.

Or maybe we should be looking at the other images.

Anyone try these yet? Please advise.

Here's his staff page:

I have better journal access at work's network (which I'm leaving for now), so I'll take a look at his publication record too.

All of Lowry's Getty images:

http://tinyurl.com/2ehxsd

I'm starting to wonder if he's OOG. All of this looks a little too normal, and I really doubt the Getty would go along with such a thing.

EDIT I tinyurled the big url - xnbomb

I'm sorry to bust the bubble, but you CAN get to the american version of it. I tried to find the exact image, but I couldn't on their online catalog. From what I've seen of stock photo's, the online catalog is only a small portion of what they actually offer, more like a sample. Also, they are usually at extremely high resolutions, and the photo's on the web site are low res, which also points to them only being samples.

Let me find the link to the american version of the picture...

Wait, asd already linked to the image on the american site. What may have thrown you off is the first person who found the image used Google that linked him to the Japanese site. I believe that this is just part of the collection "STONE".

I'm e-mailing the comapny for clarification.

Hey

Hi, it's me, asd. Finally registered.

Still haven't heard from SF Lowry. I emailed him yesterday morning acting rather OOG.

From the perspective of the Gravemind, the *Flood* is tenacious life and the Halos would be the antithesis of that Life.


I don't think we can make any assumptions about Gravemind at this point. We just don't know what it's motives are.


Gravemind is an/the intelligence form of the Flood. It absorbs all knowledge assimilated through Flood infection of sentient life. It's purpose is to absorb all intelligence in the galaxy. An AI would have a similar goal in theory since one would assume it hungers for knowledge. This could be why Cortana had no problems answering Gravemind's questions at the end of Halo 2.

What's really racking my brains though is if the Halo's were the Sword of the Forerunner, why the hell would they bother making a life supporting environment ON Halo?

Were the Halos labs with failsafes?


Indeed why would they seed the instruments of destruction with life if that life were to only die again?

A slide with anumber that relates to a date coming very close by...

sounds like foreshadowing to me. A warning of what's to come, and a confirmation of when.

Wow, Dark-Fahrenheit from our french forums just pointed out something I think is new:

Isn't it the 7th column emblem like here? :

Just thought I'd spread the information along to get someone's gears turning.

We may be looking too far into this; it may be just a sign of something happening on 7/1 and 7/5. Just something to get our eyes peeled, maybe?
