 [Spec]New theory on the messeges from Mr Archie

couldnt have taken over cortana, since these logs are from 100,000 yrs ago, not the future (as far as we know anyways)
i think the 'stain on his hands' has to do more with the flood

I believe the provided link may offer a second viewpoint--namely, that you are three days short of being a month late to that particular SPEC party.

Perhaps the forum search would avail you?

i think gravemind may be some kind of covenant elite(infected by flood of course) that has evolved hence the whole wierd mouth thing...

and anyone else notice how passionate/emotional archie was when he was messaging Fox for help?




and i'm still hung on on the " he is not who you think" bit....


where are those meddling kids when you need them...

Seriously, Simmons, have you done any research regarding Halo's existing backstory?

100,000 years has been a known number since the days of Halo 1. It was the last time the Halos were activated. There's actually a level in one of the games called the 100,000 year war.

Further, an interview with Staten, and I believe Nylund, cited the 100,000 year reference, and, iirc, that it is in earth years.

I'm not one to discourage spec, but in order for your spec to be relevant or as relevant as possible, it can't fly in the face of known facts, or be concocted without some knowledge of the existing and established canon.

Hell, why don't I suggest that Gravemind is actually a Zerg hive-mind that was assimilated by the more powerful Flood eons ago, and that's why he's so smart?

Weird mouth thing? He looked like Audrey II from Little Shop of Horrors, and Elites hadn't come into contact with Flood, so your guess of Elite's about on par with suggesting it's a Grunt, a Jackal, or even a Covie Engineer. Or, why not a human?

Gravemind is also decidedly ancient. He's been around. The Covenent haven't been around for a 100,000 years. If they'd had, they would've all been wiped out by the initial Halo firing.

Search and read, then spec. Or ask questions before putting out weak spec if you're not sure of your facts.

Seriously, man. Always consider signal-to-noise ratio.

Seconding that motion. As I linked earlier in this thread, the vast majority of what is being said here has already been said, by people who had their ducks in a much neater row. Please search the forums, please read up on Halo backhistory, please befriend the wiki.

Everybody was new at one time, but an important part of being new in an ARG is first catching up, then speaking up.
