i'm not 100% sure ifd we've determined the state of life jersey's dad is in, but Durga says that if she was thinking clearly she would have never told him about the affiar his mom his having... couldn't it also be possible that now that durga is "thinking clearer" she doesn't want to upset jersey even more than he already is by telling him his father's dead...

just wanted to throw out another random theory... don't really think it's true but i thought it none-the-less... (:

First Post - Been trolling for a while.

Lets list out some assumptions that we are working with:

1.) Jason (Jersey's dad) is "The Castaway". [IMO: this is as close to fact as we get in this game.]
2.) Durga (as Melissa) met Jason, and liked him.
3.) When Durga crashed onto Jersey's computer, she suffered severe memory loss and "may" not remember meeting Jason.

If we acquiesce that these assumptions are correct, then the fact the Durga ended up on Jersey's computer cannot just be random happenstance. There has to be some method behind Durga being on the computer of the son of an ADVANCED RADIO OPERATOR at the same moment as a SYSTEM WIDE RADIO FAILURE.

[SPEC] Could Jason have sent Durga to Jersey? Could Jason have some influence over Durga? Why would the PMs give us the castaway paragraph if there wasn't a stronger relationship between Jason and Durga?

BTW, does anyone know of any other reference to a ship called the Soberg? Thats Jason's ship.[/list]

Gloryfish, I'm glad you started this topic. I think this is one of the best "cliffhangers" we've had yet in the audio drama, and I've been dying to see some [spec] on it.

Personally, I don't Jersey's Dad is dead, but something is definitely not quite right. Before I get into that, here's the clip from the on_reach wav that pretty much confirms (at least to me) that Jersey's dad isn't dead.

WOW, this is great SPEC... I have been trying to form ideas and questions in my head on this story arc but could not find words. Even with so many unanswered ???, I feel like I see the picture a little clearer (and I do buy into the Simon is biological father and kept secret from both Jason and Jersey).

[johnny5]

It would seem Jason found out at some point, because he "hates" Bonita for what she's done, yet he loves Jersey, even though he's not the real father.

It seems to fit. Good call nobodyman

i think it is still just spec based on the the wav, nobodyman

[Mike_Was]

The woman's voice Jersey listens to in again.wav does NOT sound like Bonita. Bonita could be on the Sopranos with her think "Jersey" accent. (I'm actually not joking here...) The woman in _again_ has what sounds like a British accent.

That would explain why she "loved" him, past tense.

oooo, will all trolls turn to stone 1st thing in the morning?

[papamarx]

Whatever, symantics.

So no one has any idea or spec about why Durga ended up on the computer of her "friends" son?

[daboking]

Not knowledgeable of Halo background (just borrowed 1st book from aspmaster), but perhaps she got there in direct violation of (I hope I am referring to this correctly) the Cole Directive because she may have contained such valuable information that it was worth the risk to keep her active rather than terminating her construct. Jason may have have sent her to Jersey for just such a reason not knowing about the damage that was soon to happen. This could be part of Durga's curious nature as she tries to repiece her memories back together from prior to waking up and wetting the system.
(oh, btw papamarx, I still do not know what a troll is, so I just playing with ya. hehehehe)
