"reveal the truth"

Ok then, let's think about this.

If she's trying to reveal the truth, then it means it is something we (I guess) as a species, are unaware or oblivious to. A situation or plan by an enemy (or traitor) most likely. That means that the wav files MUST be by themselves telling us something obvious about a threat or plan... not just a short story about completely different people.

Flea is (to me it seems) the enemy of Melissa - but seeing as how AI's never fight in the conventional means - they always exchange witty banter and physics equations - it's hard to tell. So.. if the enemy of my friend is my enemy... flea is our enemy, as is SOMEONE or some ORGANIZATION within the wave files.... or it would be useless for her to share them with us.

Since in FS we learn that flash cloned human brains were scanned to create AI's - we should probably believe that there must be atleast some level of human instinct in the AIs. The instinct of a human when so close to it's enemy (Flea) is to respond (for the most part) with the clearest, more precise information available so someone can help - The wave files.

I believe we're missing some direct link to a threat that Melissa has present us in these wave files :\

 		Durga = Flea
One of the first things Durga reveals, and the only thing she knows about herself, is that she "likes to find things out". Could there be a more appropriate reference for her than "Seeker"? This has been spec'd elsewhere already, I believe.

In reference to her being named "Durga", apparently the goddess Durga appeared when the gods were threatened by demons, and she slayed them (as the flea did w/ SPDR, and Durga did with Genie and the security bots).

Durga also rode a lion, and had at her disposal the weapons of all the gods (like an intelligent AI would--or perhaps the flea's weapon is the truth), given to her for the purpose of defeating evil.

This has inspired a flash of brilliance in me (or at least it was in my mind when i thought of it). I think this has been said elsewhere but I'm now convinced the flea is a Covenant AI.

I say this because (it was either in the Halo books or somewhere in the Info on the BUngie site) the Covenant are Adaptive rather than Inventive, They take technology which is superior to their own and adapt it, this is behavior that the Flea has shown consistantly - from "his" messages becoming more like the SPDR to now copying the SP's terminology on this page

Its a bit messy but how does that sound (easy with the fish)


Right now, I agree with you.

My macrotheory is that the flea is covenant. The spdr, a utility program, was designed to revive the queen, but in that, he was also deleting a lot of information. Much the same way databases were to be purged of infomation that could lead the covenant towards earth. This information being what the flea refers to as "the truth". The flea was able to get rid of the spdr and prevent it from destroying the truth. The the flea has learned the truth (about earth) by looking through the broken Operator (maybe the reflecting protection being broken allowed the flea to do this. Did the flea cause the crash in order to break this protection?0). and is looking to "transmit" that information. That would indicate we are helping the flea transmit the truth about earth to the covenant.

That's just my theory of what all this is, right now. Sorry if it's too haloversy.

That's been my theory for a while, I've just been unable to articulate it. Well done. Smile

 		The theory of DURGA being the WIDOW is possible. Cuz even a Black Widow spider "stings", and its life isn't based on its stinger. JERSEY mentioned how she spread so fast... perhaps like the poison of a Black Widow?

I can't see that. Widow == SPDR == dumb repair process. Durga is clearly no dumb repair process.
