[PURE SPEC] The Wrong enemy

Something suddenly hit me. The queen is an AI of a human ship. She witnessed an attack or accident that destroyed humans, and is only just recovering from it. She currently is following programming and attacking a potential attacker. She isn't corrupted as she goes through the possibilites of why a human is attakcing her.

Then we have the author of the Killer jpg.. They tell us that they dont speak english, as they are shocked in using english. So we are possibly talking to an alien. Buty since it undertands english we are led to believe that it must be an AI.

So we are being helped by an alien AI and are looking at a human built AI as an enemy. This just doesn't seem right. Why would we be helped, the same race that created the queen, by the AI's enemy?

Is it possibly a ploy for us to destroy the queen so the alien can attack.

This is pure spec and is based on only an idea. Maybe the queen is the innocent bystander, which is only opposed by the autohr of the killer jpg.

Another thing is the Author knows the spdr is dangerous. It destroyed the "manticore" easily and knows an attakc on the queen by itself would result in cretain death. But not only have we managed to be unaffected, we trapped the queen.

The queen is also scared of the assassin (possibly Dana) and her servant.
Dana has only been helped by two people, us and the author of the killer jpg.

Though it is a long shot the theory (and only the theory) makes sense

RE: [PURE SPEC] The Wrong enemy

We have an entity that has "landed" on a web server. It is in bad shape and beeing fixed.

Why is it here, what's its purpose?

Can we magine a "Terminator" plot? I mean, the queen or the other entity was sent back in time to try to stop something from hapening (or to warn us) so that we can be ready for an eventual Alien invasion in the future?

Exactly, what if we the flea or whatever is manipulating us. We are safe as we werent affected by the queen, and trapped it, and have the advantage of the queen being scraed of us. We are the obvious chocie to destroy the queen if she regained important knowledge (remember the queen has a second function, she believed she was "battleships" (search and destroy) but the Oni person says "truth or dare" (possibly a password or security AI?))

Im not so sure about the Terminator plot, but now I am starting to think that the reason the ship The Operator was on crashed (or suffered some sort of major malfunction or whatever) is because the pious flea (Covenant AI) Had successfully infultrated the ships computer systems. The job of the pious flea would be to extract information about Earth (sticking with the Halo story). At this point, a variety of things may have happened (I have not read the books so if this is not at all true please tell me)
1.) As a final attempt to keep the secret of Earth's location safe, the ships crew tries to delete The Operator, but in her dammaged state the ship goes haywire and flings itslef through timespace
2.) In order to stop the crew from destroying The Operator the pious flea takes over the ships navagational systems, and crashes the ship in some random point in time and space
Either way, The Operator would be in ruins and would clearly need to repair itself. Then, Dana tries to delete the operator to repair www.ilovebees.com, but because The Operator is still disfunctional, she can not identify Dana as a harmless human, and marks her for death. Meanwhile the pious flea hides and waits untill the right moment to strike and extract information about Earth, and send it to the Covenant. Because it is 2004, Earth's technology is primitive and it would take hundreds of years before the Covenant got the message about Earth, thus sticking with the Halo story.
This might have been brought up before, but I would just like people to possibly keep it in mind.

I like it. Based purely on clues from the stories, it seems most likely that Melissa is one of the good guys. The section of the military story related to sacrificing Troy for the greater good may parallel the choice we have to make between trying to protect Dana and trying to help the Queen.

Cortana is translating live, I believe.

Either that, or he has a translator system on his suit. I forget which it is, but either way, they have their own languages. The Grunts are supposed to yap and bark and growl like dogs, but you hear them as squeaky little guys.
