I'd agree with trying to activate as many axons as we can - it seems reasonable to me that they wouldn't remain 'hot or not' if we were only required to activate 2 from each set of seven. Personally I think [spec] we'll unlock at least one more .wav from each set if we can activate all 7 axons, but that's just my gut instinct. It probably helps that I'm in the UK so I'm not running around after them

Besides, like the others said, it's not like we have much else to do at the moment other than mail SP and/or Melissa

Heading slightly OT for a moment, is it not true that the only reason we think of the Pious Flea as a Covenant entity the name? He chooses to call himself 'seeker' and wants to effectively expose the truth without being discovered - could this mean that the truth is something we should be suppressing? (example - potential time-travel paradox). That would make the Princess the one to be wary of - again my gut reaction only as I happen to believe she was contained in the 'mostly-osmium' casket. Probably trout but I'm pretty certain Melissa was in charge of the ship which found the sealed casket, and the contents then escaped.

Additionally, the Flea's

seek
behold
reveal

seems rather too close to 'Seek evade reveal escape' for my comfort...perhaps the flea is an emergency process which has accidentally been triggered and is thus flagged as rogue?

...I don't know if any of this is original or useful, but it's late and I'm tired and waiting for 'pillow' to go hot when you helpful phone people get to it Apologies for any lack of continuity, and I'll go and get the fish-knives out

I don't see any harm in picking up a few more phone calls until something new happens.

Hi I'm new here, just registered tonight. I see differing opinions on our X / 777 bar. It makes sense to me that these are not counting axons going hot(math doesn't work) as stated in other posts. It is uncertain what the number means. I personally doubt that we aren't supposed to get to 777. If we arent meant to get it then why is it there and also then what are we waiting for?

I may be wrong here but from the beginning we've had a counter then another counter then times/gps locations. but what are we waiting for right now? It would appear that the site is serving no purpose unless that 777 was signifigant. Right? Whats our next "quest" if you will?

From what I've seen watching the site we really weren't given any new data/information/goals until the countdowns ended and the axons were visited and went hot. Now with the 777 thing we really don't have much solid info to go on. Maybe this is the part of the game where the majority are separated away from the few. Everyone seems to be looking past this part of it right now.

This is the only form of site progress (new stuff/learn more/updates/etc) I can really see right now unless one of these others is right with the thoery of more points to be released. I'm doubtful on that one myself though.

I haven't read any halo books etc. I don't know all the characters and what have you. I really have just been following the ILB website and this forum.

But from what I have gathered on the error 404 page (take a look) is that whoever is writing in the green font wants to play a game of question and answer. Whoever it is wants us to email a vote for whose questions we want answered. Send name in subject line etc.

My theory here is not founded on anything solid at all but from only ILB stuff I would guess that the 777 could be a vote counter of total "vote emails" recieved at the ladybee777@hotmail address listed on the contact us pages. To try to test my theory I sent my own email with "Dorkmaster" in the subject line last night when it was at 103/777. When I checked earlier today it was at 111/777 and 116/777 as I type this. I'm curious to see if this is actually the "what for?" behind our 777 count-up.

The X/777 is in code meaning not an actual counter or applet or javascript etc. It does not change itself. Cut from actual html of the page:
<div align="center">116/777</div>
I view it as highly possible for a real person to actually count those email votes and then manually update this number as they get more votes. It does not go in realtime if my theory is correct. Which is explained by the fact that it updated by several numbers higher instead of one at a time. It also didn't update when I refreshed the page right after sending the email like it would if it were a realtime counter. I guess that alone neither proves or disproves that the emails are tied to the count-up. It would be nice if there were a way for people who email to cc it to another adress where someone else can count and post how many new messages came in and see if it updates by the same number but coordination of that would be amazingly difficult. Oh well, just another thought.

Like I said I'm new here, sorry if I've wasted your time reading this. Just my theorys. What do ya'll think?

the 116/777 is the # of axons we activated.

Maybe the phones are all places she had in her database as being areas where her crew lived on Earth, or had family or friends. Hell, maybe some of them are even places where the crew liked to eat, like the McDonald's axon found recently. So she might have just tried hitting as many points as she could. But who knows what she thinks now with so many points answered, and what is the flea trying to get at with his 4 new secret roads?
