Although everyone's imput and theories are welcome, this one does not work for two reasons.

1.) We know for a fact that Halo is a weapon, for when Cortana explored Halo's schematics from the controll room, she discovered it's purpose, which was to contain the flood, and in case of the flood escaping, to destroy the Galaxy (Or universe, I can't remember at the moment) to make sure the Flood won't spread.

2.) It is perfectly feasable that a crashed ship could travel through time, because in the Halo universe, ships travel through slipspace, which is somewhat like travelling through a wormhole, in that you are transported through timespace, so if the ship were to crash it could randomly arive at modern day Earth.

Many threads discuss the time traveling of Mellissa, and although not technically trout, a simple scan of the other posts contradict your theory.

Do we actually know how the HALO "destroys the universe", I don't really remember that part of the game. Does Cortana explicitly say? Isn't it conceivable that an artifact (the AI) sent back in time and unleashed on our computer networks could create a time paradox big enough to destroy the universe? To me, the idea of destruction via paradox is more plausible than a giant ring in space destroying EVERYTHING through purely destructive force.

hmmm.... I smell.... Fish.........

As I mentioned earlier, we already know (for the most part) about how The Operator got here. It has also been established that The Operator is confused by her primitive technological surroundings (the reference of Dana's computer being an abacus, box, yarn with two tin cans tied on the end, etc...) so she clearly did not travel through time intentionally. Also, Dana can no longer be contacted because she went to China, and according to her voicemail, she is staying there for good. She may come back, but it is futile to try to contact her at this moment. Besides, Dana is NOT The Operator, and the only other characters that we think we might be able to contact are (possibly) the pious flea, or perhaps the sleeping princess, so we can't ask The Operator about anything. Trust me on this one guys, drop this theory. It dosn't work, and it will lead to a lot of repeated facts.

Thanx Eddy, that is the answer I have been looking for.

Is there anyway to find out more about the pulse, and how it kills.

Also, still looking for ideas as to how the Operator got back in time

If you read First Strike, Dr. Halsey and the remaining Spartans find a Forerunner ruin on Reach. They found a crystal that warps time as well as space. This crystal was destroyed towards the end but a few pieces slipped into slipspace where the covenant recovered them. At the end of the book the prophet states that the 3 tiny pieces recovered "....may yet be enough for our purposes...and one more relic from the Great Ones (Forerunners), as precious as they are, will soon make no differenc to us."

So maybe the remaining pieces of crystal were used to send some kind of ship/probe back in time to earth.

Just speculating but I can't help but think we haven't heard the last of Dr. Halsey and Spatan Kelly.

Oh yeah....the Forerunner artifact was discovered underneath ONI's "Castle Base"

Thanx man. That is great info.
I think I should prolly check out the books.
I have heard alot of other speculation and kelly.
Do you think that Mellissa is here on accident or meant to come here.
and what was the AI's name on the ship that found the crystal? Screwy
