And what does Winnie the Pooh love the most?

HONEY!!!
Which is made by bees!!!

Sorry, I'm just going all goofy thinking about this email. I got done taking a call at work and saw two emails in my inbox. Made my eyes water from the stupid green font though!

sorry if this was already covered, this is my first post, although i've done my best to not do my work at my job and read up on all this.

The object that McKaskill is talking about, the one from melissa/op memory that was pieced together a while back, has anyone thought that maybe this is guilty spark? And that once he got on board the ship, he infected melissa and that's how this all started?

sorry if this has already been talked about, i hate when people repeat stuff and take up space.

Ok, so

(1) The Princess is coherently speaking on her own now, which says heaps about her learning curve Laughing


(5) that the GPS coordinates are "roads" the Queen needs to travel on... (makes what to look for a bit more narrow)



It's good to see a breakthrough in the GPS puzzle. Wow, maybe this update is actually worth more than we all thought.

We need to find out what's in the hold! Could this be some piece of Forerunner technology? Could this have caused the ship's crash? Conversely, could this have gotten the Covenant's attention?

I was on a business call when I refreshed my mail and saw "Margaret Efendi". Needless to say, I slammed down the phone, read it and came here to see who else got it and if any variations were sent.

Were there any?

[SPEC] Additionally, might not blaming the Widow (SPDR) for the GPS-middle of the ocean-screwup be a PM coverup for a screw up of their own? How does this affect what we know/suspect of the GPS coords?

hey guys, this email is obviously 3 very different issues, so i've created 2 new spec threads to postulate on them:

talk about the SP, Flea, Widow, and the Queen here:
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5614

talk about Mellisa and McKaskill here:
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5613

Danzilla has created a puzzle thread for the coordinate references (roads) here:
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5612

we have to keep things clear, the 3 ideas shouldn't get all mashed together like they're starting to

The only variation I have is that one of the SPs sentences was chopped...

Here's a quote:
Quote:
The last time they quarreled, the Queen had just discovered the Widow had built one path mindlessly straight INTO THE SEA. This is what I mean about an Arachnid of

Usually I am a pretty good hider, but I made a terrible pig-snorty kind of laugh when I heard about the underwater road, and I think they would have caught me, if the Queen hadn't been busy breaking up the Widow at just that moment.


You'll notice that "Arachnid of" is where that ends... I know someone else told us that he thought it was funny, since it was a Winnie the Pooh quote, about "bear of very little brain"... But I have no "very little brain" in my quote... Anyone else missing anything?

Really, can anyone explain how this could happen, logically? Is this a puzzle? I'm thinking it's just a glitch, but I've never known of missing words in the middle of an email, only at the end when something didn't transmit well..

My email has the Arachnid of Very Little Brain in it. With the capital letters also.

Maybe the SP has learnt to speak very well, but it seems she is still subject to typos? Wink

The weird symbols are just an artefact of the email being written in MS Word. If you write an ellipsis (...) in Word, it automatically turns it into an ellipsis special character. Similarly, with em dashes, it turns -- into a special character. These don't come out in most email clients. Nothing to speculate about.

Dickon reference... Secret Garden


Yep Very Happy Very Happy

Shortly before this I sent the Princess a letter pieced together from that text. Since we seemed to be dealing with hidden/secret/lost memories.

I got a bit distracted by other things and forgot to check my game mail before today. Same message as everyone else. But nice to know someone is reading the massive amounts of e-mail they receive. Must be very difficult.
