I think that's what it is. Nothing but a cool wallpaper.

For now...

[kulpdogg]

it looks like theres 3 parts of the picture that can be overlayed.

anyone wanna do that?

[lKrayzieBonel]

What do you mean?

[ArronR]

in any case it's a very cool looking picture!

[big appleton]

maybe its the activation sequences, on lets say.. the ARK?

After seeing this picture I can't help but think that AR is gonna be coming back tomorrow to clear things up, and well, this looks a lot like his current Avatar.

The layout in the middle of the iris on the right is the same as the new AdjutantReflex avatar, without the J.

They no doubt overlay one another,.... Anyone?? the significance of the "J"

Isn't there going to be terminals in Halo 3? Could they possibly show us videos that would continue in this fashion? Like explain the flood more? That would make sense.

But where does that leave us now? Assuming thats how that aspect is wrapped up (explaining the birth of the flood), what do we do now?

SOTA seems to be the last piece of the puzzle left unsolved.

Adjutant Reflex was hijacked by this new entity. They merged. They broadcast together in the form of Transmissions in Forerunner servers. They've been leading us to all of the servers.

Surely SOTA wasn't just for finding Server 1...right?

Then there is this file:
You asked me once, what happened to those who vanished?
You asked me, why did we survive where our fathers fell?
You wished to know how we ever let it happen
A scourge that consumed the galaxy
And the cure that was worse than the cancer
You asked me once about my intent
And the spot that would not wash out
I promise you the answers lie in the Ark
Find me there in the dark
For that is where I abide


I could see how this could be the end of Iris, but I still feel a lack of closure. Not as bad as Ethan Haas or anything, but I'd love for there to be a finale that let us know it was over.

That iris-like structure to the right; some of the detailing in it looks like the detailing on the Forerunner artifact in the Halo 3 announcement trailer. (The "big rumbly thing what beams our sky", if I may.) The "petals" that rise up during the trailer, for instance, are traced out; 9 of them by my count, starting from 1 o'clock.

One thing come September 25th, if that structure is in the game I'll be poking around where that "J" ends up marking when overlayed on the iris map.

-- Steve can't help but think there's more significance buried in this image.
