On the site, it says Its going to "win free of this babbage machine"

Searched dictionary.com, found:

babbage

The structured assembly language for the General Electric
Company 4xxx range of computers and their OS4000 operating
system. It is strictly an assembler in that the generated
code is relatively predictable but it can be written in a
sufficiently structured manner, with indentation, control
statements, function and procedure calls, to make the
resultant source easy to read and manage. Even with this
visible structure however, it is important to remember that
the assembly of the statement is done left to right.


Don't know if this means anything, just spec....

Apparently, the widow is following a strict subroutine, but the queen, now that she's "feeling better", so to speak, sees another threat, one which was not previously covered in the story.... we'll have to find out waht that is.

There are new pages...? New URLs?

Has anyone found this:

http://www.ilovebees.com/surg.!store.primary.sector.mem.dmg.0.4.html

QUARANTINE - FRAGMENTED MEMORY
RESTORATION PHASE: 0

There are *new pages* -- found this as a link.

By the by - i'm sure this is trout, but there's plenty of references in hear to HALO stuff ONI, Destroyer class lasers, etc.

I know this is has probably come up, but new "mayday" text sounds like Cortana talks to herself in the HALO...

I'll look into the new text on this page...

[SPEC] on the fly interpretation

Just want to make a few interpretive points:

1) references to spaceships and ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence) make it pretty clear that the Operator is from the Halo universe. ONI was Dr. Halsey's outfit, the people who trained Master Chief.

We still do not know who the Operator is, but she is clearly an AI from an Earth military spaceship. She could monitor all conversations on the ship.

2) The Widow may not be acting in the interests of the Queen. At least, *someone* seems to be probing the Operator's memory, and the Operator thinks she might be in enemy control.

"Seek the truth
Reveal the truth
Behold the truth

That is all you know, and all you need know."

Doesn't that sound more like Covenant Prophets than anyone else?

Extra spec:

There are multiple AIs. One's trying to kill Dana, and one is trying to protect her.

don't jump to conclusions yet. it's too early and we don't have all the information.

do a google search for "charles babbage," my friend.

babbage machine and abacus

Searched dictionary.com, found:



I would guess that "babbage machine" is just a disparaging way of referring to the computer system on which this AI is currently living---similar to when it complains about being stuck on an "abacus." The idea seems to be that it is used to living on a vastly more advanced computer system, but it's imprisoned for the time being on primitive hardware. It can tell that there is a bigger system out there because it keeps getting pings from the network, and it wants to get out ( metastasize ) on to that system.

Seriously... we don't need a 20 page long "oooh, cool updates" thread. Take it easy, take your time, break this up into digestible nuggets. Make a Thread for each specific topic.

let's try to sort some of this info into other threads- there is now a thread on the variations of killer.jpg, let's make some about the dialogues that have been discovered, the changes to the counter, the new websites that are linked to, etc. etc....

the sooner we can effectively sift through this info, the sooner we can discover trends and work out how each part relates to the whole.

[edited to add]: I agree with Marduk
