 		[SPEC] WHAT MIGHT THE NEW QUESTION/ANSWER BE?
Revived since other info in this thread has not been used:

This was just suggested, and as I was considering it myself, I'm going to go ahead and start the discussion. What words should axon hunters have in mind tomorrow?

REMINDER: "IN GAME" IN THIS CONTEXT MEANS SOMETHING THAT HAS COME UP FROM THE WEBSITE, DANA, THE SOUND CLIPS. DO NOT INTRODUCE RANDOM HALO STUFF.

Who is the enemy of mankind? The Covenant

Planets we've lost - Jericho VII, Harmony, Troy (I assume Harmony was a planet, but not clear from the clip)

Planets not lost: Sigma Octanis IV

The Old Man's favorite wine? alt_burgundy

(I'll unsticky this after we get the answer out and it's added to the thread above re "what to say")

EDIT - UPDATE 9/13: Codeword has been reported as being "Captain Greene" in answer to question "Who is your captain?" - Updated title - SG

So Ikkarus was right!! (see below) - AD

 		Well her last question was about the ship, and she is trying to find her crew, so I'd think a logical question would be:

"Who is the captain of the Apocalypso?"

Answer: Green.

(I think.)

Yes, you da man! - AD

 		If we assume the names that appeared in early text on the website are Apocalypso crew, in which case:

Captain Green, First Lieutenant Rolf Sorenson, McKaskill, Midshipman Arrelts, and ONI Tech Kowalski

Not entirely sure I agree with the assumption, but the names could come in handy.

From the fireflies wiki:

Captain Greene.

First Lieutenant Rolf Sorenson.

ONI Tech Kowalski.

Midshipman Arrelts.

McKaskill.

Standish. Somewhere in the military hierarchy, but not aboard the ship.

The Castaway. Not part of the regular crew. May be Jason Morelli.

The Old Man. Also not part of the regular crew. McKaskill's contact, believed to work with ONI. Possibly the Castaway.

The Apocalyso itself: "length: 120 meters crew: 40 cover: pleasure yacht"

And see other characters, from:

 		The Operator's Monologue.

So if we get the question "Who is the captain?" the only obvious answer is "Greene." Thus, that [SPEC] becomes fact.

Keep in mind, we didn't have any confirmation (that I know of) that Melissa was on the Apocalypso until she asked as about it, so that [SPEC] is now fact.

Decent guess, except that Melissa shouldn't expect her crew to know that. In the Operator's Monologue, just before Kowalski says that Melissa's favorite game is Spin the Bottle (which it isn't), he says "File's classified. ... Well, of course, I know, but I really shouldn't." So the crew isn't supposed to have that information.

 		So what you are really saying is that can't be the question.

Everyone else - but if it IS the question, you have two choices as to the answer.

That, and it's entirely possibly that Melissa doesn't even remember her favorite game anymore . . .

 		It is most likely going to be a question from the newest .wavs. Last time was from the recipe3 .wavs. So it might be something from there, hopefully it isn't a question from one of the .wavs we missed.
I see what you are saying shad0, the other questions were easily answered by someone who was actually on the ship: her name, her nickname, and the name of the ship. But nothing else to me seems to be as easily answerable. I'll think about this for a little while, maybe something will come to me before tomorrow.

 		I doubt it'll be that complicated. I mean, it is automated; all it really needs is for any of us to say one word. I doubt it'll require us to say more than one word.

Then again, "apocalypso" has five syllables...

Midshipman You know what they say: Happy ship - crew. Yeah. (coughs) Yeah, I know a lot of about these systems.

That's actually a corrupted version of the original memory, which was simply "Happy ship - Happy crew." See wiki. Wink

 		Well, the 5:59 just went hot, so somebody's got it figured out. Way to go Connecticut, now hopefully he/she'll share.
