Look at the last bit from the Flee:

Yea, it took me too damn long to get my activation code, but the conversation seems to show that Flea is learning to communicate with Princess just like he did with SPDR. He might be attempting to pull the same trick.

The Seeker process, aka Pious Flea, is doing the same thing as the Princess. It's learning, although in a limited manner. It assumes the way to cancel or counter an undesired act is through GROSS.

I still think the much more interesting part of all of this is how the Princess is growing up really fast - started out just using snippets from emails, then learned to use her own words and identified with childrens stories, and is now talking like a teenage girl.
She might develop far enough to try and take out Melissa soon enough. And then what?

Has anyone given any serious thought to a flood AI. I know that sounds off the wall, but they are certainly capable of more complex types of tasks. A short period after they escape on Halo, they are already trying to repair a ship. These are not mindless zombies.
The flea's MO seem to match up with the flood as well. Twisting an existing intelligent entity to serve its own ends... Just a few thoughts.

okay, i posted this somewhere else, but does the fact that the text used for the flea is called "dana_white" and so on, when you view the source of the yellowbrickroad page, have anything to do with it?

never noticed that, it could just be a nod by the pms, or maybe it was a font that "dana" was working on. it seems pretty out of game tho you never know.

That font class was in the original website (dana_white). The AIs and various programs canabalize the site. They don't create anything original. Most of the time.

we know that the covenent dont like making complex AI's, i think they said that somewhere in halo, but if the flea is a virus, the simplest lifeform which is very adapable, it would fit into our discription of it perfectly, i really dont think it could be a flood program

Has anyone been keeping track of the Flea's latest activities?

Yesterday (August 26) he placed a repeating string of the "Seek the truth, reveal the truth, blahblahblah" on the Honey Roasted Carrots page of the Fun Stuff section. Today (August 27) the text is gone.

I know this was not an archive or a previous build of the page that I saw because the Honey Roasted Carrots page has never been affected in the past and the animated bee .gif is not hyperlinked.

I never played halo, but I kind of got a decent idea of how the story went.

From what I think so far, I think that SP and the flea are of covenant decent. And I totally agree that SP is awaiting further instructions before starting her initial task. I'm also noticing that the flea's interacting with SP is somewhat "probing".

I just started reading into this whole thing earlier today, so I dont remember who was the one saying that she is lost, and is trying to contact home, and is trying to re-grow like a starfish. Im thinking that it is melissa. And she is trying to send out the warning to earth about who has accompanied her, but is unable to.

:shrug: Anyone like my idea?
