Maybe it's like Star Trek IV when the whales went extinct..

I know how many of you guys hate the Bungie tie-ins, but about a month or so ago Bungie had a can of tuna in the fore of one of it's webcam images with a note asking what the tuna means. Looks like they may have had these conversations planned then, or both the webcam and the conversation are pulling of a mention of the elevated cost of tuna which will appear in Halo 2.

Lets not forget that tuna was also mentioned in the Jersey/Durga storyline as well. Farm tuna salad for her, meat of the day in red sauce for him I think it says. I don't know about you all, but meat of the day in red sauce does not sound that expensive to me:). Maybe it is non-farm tuna that is expensive? Or once again it is off world.

Lets not forget that people like to name things from where they come from. How many citys are called New something, and why is every major city(some minor ones too) in europe have a city named after it in at least 2 states. I know this is spec but it could be Atlanta or Buffalo(yes she does say New York I know) on another world. I am probally wrong but it was worth a go.

Anyway the Tuna is probally not that important:) The PM's are probally laughing at our posts about something that was meant to be funny, and we think the tuna will lead us to the Holy grail:)

Tuna is God.

If you're willing to change the names, it certainly is possible that OMG! Aiden is doing Jersey's MOM! I don't see anything that disproves it as a possibility.

The webcam image mentioned above is archived, here's a link for the curious: http://www.tru7h.co.uk/blam.php?file=site/webcam&action=archive&camera=3&page=3

Kamal and Sophia could be on Earth, or another colony. If on Earth they can't afford tuna, and Aiden is probably "sooo Earth" because of an affectation that Earthers do it better than colonists, or something, and our two are more "cosmos-politan".

Note - would Jersey's mom have to be on Earth, or is tuna an Earth export as well?

Yep, it must be that Kamal and Sophia are both from Coral ("I'm never going back."), now living on Earth, maybe America, but their moms "42 light years away" on Coral would prefer they date each other rather than native Earth people like Aiden. (Because of prejudices like Ouruboros mentions.)

Side notes: yes, tuna could become very expensive due to overfishing, like cod. Cheaper algae-based food like Soylent Green or tuna-flavored tofu would be what you eat when you're not on expensive dates.
(Edit: Pigeon - it's what's for dinner.)

Also I'm sure you could visit Earth as a tourist, or even get a working visa, but when your visa expires you'll have to leave. Unless you pay Aiden to "modify" your records. That's how you could get through Earth Immigration - as a tourist - but still need Aiden's help to stay.
