[INFO] Gilly echoes the Operator's Monologue?

[krystyn]

That struck me, too. Who knows if it'll turn out to be relevant, but it was an interesting echo, to be sure.

[Atoner]

Does anyone else recall other times this has happened? I'm pretty sure this is not the first time an character from the WAV's has echoed the monologue. I've never understood the significance of this fact though.

in cases like 'get the drop on you' it could just be a particular phrasing that the PM author of both texts uses a lot. it's a bit of a giveaway if so. however, given the extensive care that has gone into all this, it's a little more likely that they intentionally use the same phrasing...

Here we go again ---

In "dream_child.wav":

Jan: "So what's even me? So what's not just Spartan I voodoo potion?"

In the emails from SP:

have any enemies
voodoo witch voodoo parents
voodoo witch that runs into the web
voodoo parents wanted to cover all my
together a home the forte of voodoo parents of mine
voodoo parents keep me

---------

Wouldn't have been remarkable except for the parent/child aspect of the conversation. Could be yet another conincidence, I admit, but they do sorta stand out.

Jan=SP?



the other possibility is simply that because these are memories that Melissa is broadcasting, her dialogues in the past may have 'subconsiously' used phrases or visuals and such from these memories, not knowing the connection...
and still the other possibility that the PM's like certain phrases... *cough* '7'... so repetition doesn't necessarily mean anything significant...

we'll find out soon...

tru dat, forgot about the 'fragile connection'

that's a good point... cool... if you think about it, First Strike takes place 3 weeks after Halo explodes... I'm in the middle of reading First Strike, but do you think that we'll be passing through the actual time period of the 3rd novel from here until Halo 2 releases, so the end of ilovebees/First Strike really is the beginning of Halo 2? On a real-world timeline?...

"creepy..."

On the subject of the future timeline coinciding with the present timeline...

In First Strike, we see that UNSC High Command doesn't find out Reach was glassed until September 4, 2552. If, in fact, Melissa is getting her information streamed to her, then that means that the population of Earth didn't find out Reach was glassed until 2 and a half weeks after it happened. This information might be relevant in other [SPEC]s, too.

An interesting tidbit: the UNSC High Com Facility had been nicknamed "the Hive."

Mazian, that reminded me of something.

When the crystal was destoyed, some was deposited in slipspace. Say that a ship in slipspace passed near or over these shards, say one Apocalypso. That might cause a crash.
