MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
Just remembered something important:

The Operator.

That was my nickname. That's what the rest of the crew called me when they didn't call me ... whatever my name was.

The Operator.

I wish I could remember their names.


Found it on http://www.ilovebees.com/surg.!store.primary.sector.mem.dmg.0.4.html on the sidebar that scrolls.


Anything beginning with 'MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY' is.....

All the Mayday stuff is from the previous chapter. If you missed out on it first time, well, that's your problem.

With regards to Reach burning I'd just like to pipe in with the fact that the Autumn jumped before The Covies started glassing reach so Cortana wasn't there when it happened although she could've assumed what happened just like ONI Brass did back on Earth

inconclusive... if reach was already glassed, i don't think she would refer to it as a "lantern of hope"

Well if the operator is being reassembled by the spider, as seems to be happening given the new info (repeated references to the spider right alongside continued lamentation about being made of sand), then I think it's reasonable to assume the Operator is the Queen.
Given the Queen/Widow/Manticore/Flea/Princess story.

Anyone go through the links on the FunStuff page or what used to be the FunStuff page, some weird non-honey related stuff like this one for example

i think we're dealing with more than one AI here. it seems like whatever is responding to the emails to ladybee777 is distinct from both SPDR and the queen, and isn't to fond of either of them.

my guess is that the email reader is the Operator. from the conversation with the ONI operator, AI get given jobs based on their favorite game. the operator loves hide and seek, which would make her perfect for spy/ assassin missions. the queen talks about how SPDR should focus on the Assassin and not worry about repairing her first.

Okay, I haven't seen anyone do this yet, so I will...

I numbered these url's and will list what each is mainly about...

1. Superman message board talking about the coming of Darkseid
2. Space Ghost (Coast to Coast) fansite
3. Power Rangers Ninja Storm gaem for GBA
4. A Review regarding an old 80's coin-op arcade game called Major Havok... the plot for this game is interesting (IMO) here's a snippett (which , IMHO again, sounds like the plot from Halo 1):
Quote:
The player guides Major Havoc through deep space where he fights off a flurry of spaceships or, depending on the level, pilots his spacecraft through a maze. He must then carefully land (in a nod to previous Atari-vector hit, Lunar Lander, no doubt) his ship on the surface of a space station that contains a nuclear reactor which is safely tucked away… underground!

Havoc drops below the surface of the station and must venture through a maze filled with robots (perkoids), fireballs (pyroids), beams of electricity, and other unpleasantness. Upon reaching the reactor, Havoc must set it to self destruct and then "GET OUT!!" before it explodes.

5. Is a story of a "Namek" called Ogre that got out of control and was banished into space, but his space tomb was hit by a meteorite after 10 years of space sleeping and was sent down to planet Earth, where he awoke...
6. Seems to be some sort of Star Trek fan-site with a posting about someone going through a new "wormhole" in order to get out of deep Domminion (enemy perhaps?) space...
7. Looks like a running story that different people post what they want in regards to the story... this one dealt with (what seems like) and invasion of somesort of New York... but one line in particular I found interesting...
Quote:
Zapper thinks to himself that the AI is going slightly bonkers..
And there's talk about some sort of egg hatching near the Empire State building...
8. This site deals with buoys off the coast of Little Egg Inlet which track underwater weather
9. Another site dedicated to tracking sensors in the ocean with buoys...
10. Yet another site talking about buoys and tracking weather in the ocean
11. A site that talks about the Pope and a World Youth Day from back in 2002 in Toronto... but there's one line that is interesting...:
Quote:
The Coast Guard has deployed buoys around the small tract of land, where the Basilian Fathers retreat is located.

12. An engineering job listing with this as one of the job descriptions:
Quote:
Facilitate safe recovery of deployed buoys and submit appropriate reports in case of improper buoy performance and/or buoy loss

13. Another site dedicated to buoys and ocean tracking/sensing
14. Looks like a tutorial for a computer program that tracks buoys...
15. Seems to be a New Age/Hippie bands' website that talks about meditation, music, and spiritual travel
16. A site that gives definitions of the sound basics of Frequency, Volume, Tone, Noise, and Distortion
17. A concert venue (Meadowbrook)site that lists pics and people who played there (Jewel, Ted Nuggent, ZZ Top, Sheryl Crow, and a few others...)
18. A Battle of the Bands site where the winner was a group called Drowned...
19. Interesting... another site with the same definitions as #16...
20. A site that talks about rhythm...
21. Looks like an online story (this "chapter" entitled "Captive") that seems eerily close to what the ilovebees hidden messages are... here's some ffrom the site:
Quote:
Time passed slowly for her in a whole world of hurt and hunger. She had no concept of how long she had been there, trussed up, unable to move, or to relieve seized up muscles; she only knew it had seemed like forever. Her whole life. Born on a distant world, her hive had been systematically destroyed, her drones slaughtered, her eggs plundered. The final indignity had been her capture, her egg-sac torn from her, then dragged off by a group of resourceful aliens, with ropes she could not break. She had fought her captors like a thing possessed, but to no avail – they had done this before and knew how to contain her. They had dragged her to a dwelling the like of which she had never before seen, forced her into a large empty area, she had resisted, thrashing and screaming all the way. Once they had her where they wanted her, they had trussed her up in place, piercing the chitin of her crest with huge metal chains, that were pulled tight, gagging her so she could no longer use her inner jaws or spit her deadly acid at her captors. Her legs and all four arms were fastened with manacles attached to still more chains, the two larger arms pulled tightly up so even her claws were out of range, she was suspended in slings that went around her body, holding her firmly in place up off the floor, putting pressure on her sensitive insides. She was trussed up so tight she couldn't move at all; even her tail was pinned up and immobilised. All she could do was object to her frustrating situation vocally.

She was given no choice. She had to breed. It was her only purpose. Make more. She had been newly mated when they had taken her away from her hive, and would lay until her body's resources ran out. After that she would need to mate once more. She hurt. Hurt all over, her insides were in constant pain, her muscles burned with stiffness, being held immobile for so long. To the aliens that kept her captive, she was an egg machine, nothing more – it was the eggs they wanted. They didn't care about her welfare. They cared nothing for her comfort, or her burning hunger. She screamed her distress at the situation she found herself in.

Screamed long and loud.


Sorry to all if this ends up as trout, but I've been diving through the sites for awhile and haven't seen a thread that talks about any of this, yet...

NO TROUT ON UPDATE DAY. NATURAL ENTHUSIASM, NEW CONTENT, THIS IS GREAT.

OF COURSE YOU ALL RECOGNIZE YOUR NEXT JOB - METHODICAL COLLECTION OF INFORMATION AND ATTEMPTS TO ASSEMBLE/ANALYZE AND FIGURE OUT WHAT THEY ALL ARE.

DON'T GO "HEY IT MENTIONS A QUEEN AGAIN!" OR "HEY WASN'T THERE ARE SARGEANT WHOEVER IN MARATHON?" TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL GANG - WHAT'S GOING ON? IS THIS ONE OR MANY DOCUMENTS? ONE OR MANY SOURCES? HOW DOES IT CONNECT WITH THE FIRST MESSAGE(S)?

I hate to bring this up, but I noticed in numbering the url's the way that I did... there are 7 sites that talk about space, 7 sites that talk about ocean buoys, and 7 sites that deal with sound...

yes, it seems like the links all have thematic ties. the next step is to figure out what all the ties are and then figure out what all the themes mean when put together

Got some more text I couldn't find on these boards (then again, maybe Search doesn't like me). I loaded the 'about' page, but stopped it before Killer.jpg appeared. I found the following (the ----AND---- is my doing):

Whoa. Not CP ancestor packets. This is something different.
