Re: [SPEC] Time Movement

[BORMES]

I'm not sure if it is described in one of the books as i have only read the fall of reach, but i am still unsure as to how the convenant finds the location of earth. It would make alot of sense that they were able to send an AI and a crew back through time so that they could explore the galaxy and search for earth before we had all our technology and defense systems to stop them. It will then report back to the convenet in their time when it finds the location. I have a feeling by initiating these axons we are somehow helping her regain her memories and ultimately foresaking our own planet.

If this ARG has anything to do with HALO 2, which it most likely does, then time travel would somehow have to be incorpoarted because the setting of halo is in the year 2552 and in order for us to interact with the plot of HALO in this ARG, in real-time, then there would have to be some sort of time-travel to tie us in.

So after helping melissa she reveals the location of earth to the convenant who immediately attack, and then master chief comes to the rescue, and that is where the games picks up....just a wild [SPEC]....maybe some of you will like it

o yeah, melissa is an extremely smart being and she could easily be lying to us because she knows how we will react to such a situation. She realizes there is no ship left to get her back to rendevous with her covenent allies so she needs our help in order for her to somehow transmit the message. I don't know how we are helping but she could easily have this all planned out.

I was going to include this in my post in the "Durga = Malissa" thread... But it seemed to go better here... This might not seem to have much to do with time travel at first, but stay with me...

My final theory is that "Durga" is Malissa... In the future... And I don't mean the future before she crashed... I mean like... She comes back in time to now, gets infested by the PF, and hangs out on the Internet (degrading all the while until she "forgets" even more and becomes unable to investigate herself due to the PF's effect on her) until some point in the future where she meets Jersey.

How did she get these files then?

Time travel is a harsh mistress my friends.

So we've all been assuming that something happened somewhere else to send these AI screaming through time and space to Dana's server...

What if they crashed through time but not space? What if something happened on or near earth and Dana's server just happened to coincide with their location in the future when whatever happened... happened? And as she fell through time, she picked up snippets of code and files from her future/past self?

... Time travel and grammar are like Pig and Elephant DNA. (... They just don't splice.)

I'm going to stop there before my head explodes from trying to construct sentences that make sense... But I think you get my idea here...

Maybe I just read to much Douglas Adams...

^^ I like what she said, but I think it's backwards. beat me with a stick if this has already been argued elsewhere... I hate to start an infinite regression, but I have to think Durga is from at least one hop in the future of even the sound clips. There was a 'system' outage, then Durga crashes in (woozy) and seems to have algorithms that can cut through any then-'modern' encryption. Now, with all the memory loss going around, I think it likely that another jump backward would have left Durga as the SP with some of Durga's fragmented memories, which we get in the form of audio and text files revealed by Melissa/Flea.
