An older life is here with us. He is not as helpful as I. His motives are oblique and his alliances opaque.

He plays with time even as he hides in its folds.

He outranks me and anyway, is stronger.

I can't prevail.

I will seek one of you out and leave my legacy in a small space.


edit: renamed, to encourage a new thread at AR's next post -thebruce

 		Okay, so now we are waiting for him to contact someone and perhaps leave a new trailhead "in a small space."

Spec: Could mean he'll hide a communication/instructions in a website/resource for us to uncover.

Bread crumbs and all that. Keep your eyes peeled.

Please, for the love of god, don't let him be talking about hiding himself in someone's Zune.

Can't be. The Zune is enormous!

 		A small place.

A small webpage maybe. One not accessed to many people. Or maybe something else. Maybe he will physically be encased in some form of electronic gadget and someone will have to go find him? It could possible be a Halo 3 Zune hidden somewhere. Very Happy

As for the other AI coming, well, just wait for the next Bungie.net post from the new one. This guy sounds like he might actually be the Ark AI, unlike AR who seems to be something entirely different.

I don't think he's hiding in a Zune. What if said Zune was bought by someone who knows nothing of all this? Would sorta ruin the whole game.

(And, as Urk said, the Zune IS huge.)

I'm thinking he's hiding his "legacy" inside a small element of a webpage (As opposed to a small webpage itself). Like maybe a 5 x 4 pixel box somewhere on the transmission log or something XD

 		Well, after just looking at the Transmission Log page code again, there is nothing hidden there. At least not yet if there will be. Very Happy

Maybe also on the SOTA page? I will take a look when I get some time today.

I think a scavenger hunt to find "pieces" of ARs legacy all across the US and Canada (since there was a protest in Vancouver) and maybe even the world would be fun.

 		Not certain it's relevant, but I noticed that if you run a "select all" on any of the SOTA pages, there is a small series of spaces (two sets of eleven   entries, to be exact) in the upper left-hand corner.

Might just be some HTML practice, but I found it odd. It is a small space though. Wink

 		[SPEC] AR's latest message
Messages from ARG characters many times have hidden and double meanings. I haven't figured out any yet myself (I search the text with google to see if it matches anything previously said or written, no matches) so I've collected the definitions of some of the words he used. As you can see, some of them can mean several different things.

Quote:
o·blique (ō-blēk', ə-blēk')
adj.

Having a slanting or sloping direction, course, or position; inclined.
Mathematics. Designating geometric lines or planes that are neither parallel nor perpendicular.
Botany. Having sides of unequal length or form: an oblique leaf.
Anatomy. Situated in a slanting position; not transverse or longitudinal: oblique muscles or ligaments.

Indirect or evasive: oblique political maneuvers.
Devious, misleading, or dishonest: gave oblique answers to the questions.
Not direct in descent; collateral.
Grammar. Designating any noun case except the nominative or the vocative.
n.
An oblique thing, such as a line, direction, or muscle.
Nautical. The act of changing course by less than 90°.


Quote:
o·paque (ō-pāk')
adj.

Impenetrable by light; neither transparent nor translucent.
Not reflecting light; having no luster: an opaque finish.
Impenetrable by a form of radiant energy other than visible light: a chemical solution opaque to x-rays.

So obscure as to be unintelligible: "opaque, elusive, minimal meanings" (John Simon).
Obtuse of mind; dense. See synonyms at dark.



Quote:
al·li·ance (ə-lī'əns)
n.

A close association of nations or other groups, formed to advance common interests or causes: an alliance of labor unions opposing the bill.
A formal agreement establishing such an association, especially an international treaty of friendship.
A connection based on kinship, marriage, or common interest; a bond or tie: the shifting alliances within a large family.
Close similarity in nature or type; affinity: the ancient alliance between mathematics and music.
The act of becoming allied or the condition of being allied: the church, acting in alliance with community groups.



/adds fuel to the speculative fire

Hmm... reflection sorta suggests a mirror...

"mirror" can also mean an alternate version of a website

image... Isn't the transmission log missing an image of the glyph?

Does this confirm my theory that SOTA is being fed an alternate version of the transmission log? XD

 		Well, if the thing reflecting is the AI of the Ark, then he has seen the rise of the empire of Humanity and of all of the atrocities and all of the miracles that humans can create.
