Vilnius, thanks for the info. Hadn't read FoR yet. Unless it goes into detail about who they are though, I doubt they'll be used in the plot line for 2.

Since the people who read the books are acquainted with Fred Will and Linda, they'll most likely be the focal point for any spartan plot subject matter in the game.

The distortion of slipspace did not happen until the crystal was aboard. Granted, cortana found that the covenant were using mere fractions of the slipspace traveling accuracy that they posessed. So in itself, slipspace was distorted in two seperate ways.

One from the forerunner artifact, one from the added ability to plot courses through and around objects beyond the technology of UNSC slipstream drives.

ILB fascinates me. I'm not new to puzzles, but am to arg's. The whole story point of Jan is great. An original Spartan who's daughter was under observation for Spartan II recruitment. A daughter who seems to have absorbed training of a Spartan II nature.

I think that either she had already been recruited as a Spartan II test subject, or inherited some kind of genetic alteration through her father. The walk away girl.. seems like her bones can absorb a tremendous amount of shock.

As the people who've studied their information know, Spartan II's receive physical augmentation to strengthen bone structure at an early age.

The books, ILB, and mythology of both the Halo and Marathon series' is just so immense. It leaves large chunks of story from which you can debate on.

Here's a great timeline taken from the 3 books and the offical backstory.

Here's a great post about time travel in the halo storyline in the Halo.Bungie.Org forums. (Warning, it's really, really, really, really long, and very, very spoilery if you haven't read the books/played the game):

or here's a visual representation of what I gather to be the timelines of all Halo related plots...

Those bee/drone things remind me of the old Marathon wasps.

The Universe Next Door?

[GabrielBlade]

No no, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. I'm just about certain it'll be one of the locations in Halo2. I have a friend who's brothers girlfriends cousins second mum works with this guy who is friends with someone who goes to the gym with someone who works at Bungie, and that's how I know it's going to be there!
