[SPEC] What Melissa Doesn't Want Durga to Know and Why

Three basic points that this [SPEC] is based on:

1. In the novel "The Fall of Reach", Cortana plots the course for Halo
using strange symbols found on a unique stone. These symbols are
similiar to the Covenant language but are Forerunner and turn out to
be star charts.
2. The "Artifact" on the Apocolypso has what appear to be the same
kind of symbols.
3. Like all of the other stories, the recipe3.html .wavs tell a story of
one main character, the High Ranking Official. His story is intertwined
with that of the "Artifact".

The "Artifact" can be used to travel through time and it's symbols can
most likely be translated to provide a location. The recipe3.wavs are on
their way to showing this so Melissa is hiding all information pertaining to
it from Durga. The possibility of time travel allows a choice (which Melissa
is against) to be made.

Although she would kill the tax auditor, Durga refuses to tranfer Jersey's
father because he has a duty to protect mankind. I believe that her choice
would be to use the "Artifact" and attempt to change the outcome of the
Covenant invasion.

Being infected by the Flea, Melissa may be trying to keep that from
happening. On the other hand, her attempts to block Durga could be more
convoluted.

In the Bungie "Making of Halo2 Documantary" that you can find on almost
all Xbox related websites including Xbox.com or on either Xbox offical mag
demo disks or the newer print of Halo1, there is something strange.
One part of a sentence jumps out.

They are discussing many different locales, one of which is a Forerunner
Installation manned by the Covenant, and then:
"...Halo2 is a romp across the galaxy..."

It implies that MC will be traveling to strange locations beyond Earth.
The pacing of the original game leads me to believe that this travel would
not be 4 week long slipspace jumps but instantaneous. The "Artifact"
would fit the neccessary requirements.

Prior to Melissa's Truth, the invasion of Earth could have led the Covenant
to the knowledge of the star charts on the "Artifact" and Melissa's actions
could be in hopes of keeping it away from Durga so that it stays hidden.

The "Artifact" may have been the cause of the time travel but more
importantly the symbols upon it lead to some sort of Forerunner Tech.
Melissa wants either the Covenant or the Human Race to have it so it's
the only part of the Truth that I need to know in order to choose a side.

In Melissa's undamaged state she would have never considered the
Covenant as an option but now under the influence of another, the only
answer that we need is: What or who is the Flea?
