[INFO]Infestation.jpg

[mastergrunt44]

Well from the top,it appears that the image in the red box seems to be increasing in heat.

Hm. Could be a time lapse of the Flood altering the atmosphere of a planet.
This would make sense that it would be getting warmer, as it's been noted several time that in Halo 1 & 2 the levels begin to become snowy and cold as "containment" begins.
Perhaps the flood are a tropical organism.

Add an [INFO] tag to this.

I agree. The flood would probably find warmer climates easier to multiply. Except, we know they can survive in cold climates (Two Betrayals).

Rather than heat, why not simple infestation? Although, it seems to be a gradual increase everywhere at once.

Does this look like a moon to anyone else?

Bruce took the images from the shirt and overlaid them perhaps he (or someone else) can do the same here with the lower red square as the alignment pin , then see what the images make.

[shadeedge]

That's no moon.

That's a space station.

Sorry, had to be done.

Seriously though, The heat signature in the third example looks worryingly like the Gravemind's head.

Its not quite clear what the picture is. Since it looks more of a star then a planet and theres a lack of any visible land masses. Heck it could always be a single cell being invaded by a virus.

There are a couple of features of this picture that need to be looked at. The red square, the rectangle outline and the colour change. Because not only does it look like an increase in temperature but also a move from greyscale to full colour.

Hey...been following the ARG, and this forum for a week weeks now....finally decided to post something...

My first though was that it doesn't look like anything's actually changing in the picture at all, but rather that it's 3 different renderings of the same image. (If that makes sense...my vocabulary seems to be escaping me at the moment.)

1. Greyscale Thermal
   
2. Full colour, or how it would look to the naked eye, without modifications
   
3. Colour Thermal

Also, if you look, using the grid as a scale, the three pictures aren't the same width.

[Awhite2490]

The widths are different.
The end two appear to be the same, but the middle one is significantly slimmer.
Also, the red boxes on the two ends are the same, but the center one is actually thicker.

The symbols at the top definitely are on the shirt. I'm just not sure if it's in that order. I believe bruce has a layout of the images on the shirt if someone wants to do some analysis.

*wishes he had video editing software*

Just ignore me if I'm completely off base here, but I have a little input.

It seems to be some sort of a time lapse with the planet getting hotter (I agree with the 3 different views, Greyscale thermal, Thermal, and naked eye.)

Theories to support this would be evident in the fact that most microoganisms need a warmer climate to survive, bacteria dies at freezing or lower temperatures, and it dies at higher than (arround) 150F, this is why we have health standards that make us keep uncooked food at temperatures above or below regulation.

Now, the only problem with this picture I see is that the planet is getting too hot (possibly) and the flood couldn't survive, plus the flood is a parasite, it needs a host to live and how can it live if the host dies.

I'm not quite sure this is a flood takeover timelapse.

Just throwin things out here.

What it almost looks like if you consider the top set of images as a spectral imaging of a halo installation, is the effect the halos have on a star. The image kinda looks like a G class star (like earths) going through the begining stages of a nova. Just a guess though

[hayyoth]

can class G stars go nova? i thought they had to be huge to do that... or is it supernova that has that requirement?
