Kamal is now [spec]ing what we all are
i think we can be pretty sure now that Yasmine was the template that the AI was made from, of course that's still spec... technically there're no spoilers in this post

point taken, shad0 and edit has been made to post... I agree with weephun, I thought since it was a discussion of the wavs that people would have already heard them first. I see your point, though, as well.... adjustment has been made to respect those who are reading the thread without having heard clips. gomen nassai!

Seriously. Is there anything more comforting than Durga telling you "I can do better..."?

man, today is awsome......don't know why but this axon thing is beginning to pay off....really digging the story, makes the fact that they're are no axons in colo spgs that much easier to deal with

dude, am I the only ones who's picturing this like a movie in my mind and loving it? Why can't a video game movie plot ever be as intense and deep as this? Not to steal thunder from the 'props to the PMs' thread, but *clap clap clap* we're not worthy...

You're not alone. This is the best radio play ever.

Aiden's Motivation and Background? Why does Aiden bait Kamal to learn what happened to his sister?
If Aiden knows about the SII program then he may be much more than a simple gangster!

No kidding, the story is Incredible.
I especially love the team work that is being created by this piece of the puzzle too. I couldn't make it to the Oklahoma axon today, so disciplen2k (the only other OK hunter) and I have been coordinating back and forth so he can have the newest code when he gets to the phone.
I may not be able to do much today, but unlike other weeks I still feel like I'm in the midst of it. PM's Rock.

Well, we have two competing in-game references. SP says she has a brother she doesn't like to think about on "contactme.html". We know from Kamal's stories of Jasmine that she was good with languages, which is something that we know she has in common with Melissa and the SP. A big problem with this theory, though, is that "smart" AIs (i.e. ones made from human brains) in the Haloverse aren't supposed to live for more than 7 years. Kamal was only four years older than Yasmine and she was taken when she was 6. He's now out of medical school - and who knows how long he was on ice travelling from Coral to Earth - so...
We also have numerous in-game suggestions that she is a SPARTAN-II. We know that ONI took kids for the program when they were 6 years old and replaced them with flash clones, and we (mostly) know that's what happened to Jasmine. We know she was the "fastest" and "strongest" and had such physical dexterity that she could manipulate the outcome of die rolls (i.e. physical traits that'd be good for a SPARTAN, but inconsequential for an AI).
I could see it going either way, but I am leaning toward SPARTAN-II.

These stories would definitely make a great game or movie. They have great (sounding) action scenes, romance, and quite a lot of comedy. hey_toots is hilarious, but I still find the Kamal arc to be the funniest. Pure audial gold.

Is it possible that she was in the Spartan-II program - but was one of the ones who failed out b/c of the disabilities caused by the augmentations...
So... say she went through the training and almost finished but she was physically crippled. She might be used as a template for an AI in that case right? So it could be both and might explain the 7 years thing.
