 		I think it's obvious that Sanatos is of no use to us. We need to find Jonas...that, or something involve his name.

I'll start looking into it. Not sure of the link to AR's avatar...

[crazy spec] Jonas was abducted by the Forerunner living in the Ark and they used his neural matter to create an AI which became Adjutant Reflex and the reason he is known as a compound intelligence is because some of Jonas's thoughts remain. Jonas is the "real AR" and "new AR" is the one who is squashing him down because AR is being used by the Forerunner to institute some solution which will kill mankind so the "Jonas AR" is trying to warn us.[/crazy spec]

..you know, that sounds a little less crazy as I reread it...

If there was perhaps foul play involved with Jonas' disappearance, it could be from some MIB-like organization, and we just happen to have one of those in this ARG... coughFCCcough


They were rather Shady... But kidnapping?

 		Can everybody please remove the contact info on those two ABO folks from their posts? I'm sure they don't appreciate their full names and phone numbers put up on a public forum like this unasked. We don't want another Michael VanderZand on our hands... Sad

I kind of like that theory. It fits together with his posts:
Archie wrote:

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.


The next day, AR changed his avatar to the J symboled one.

 		I may have found something...

I found this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Wing-Yao-Hua-Lin/dp/0837168791

Notice it has the same exact "Customers who bought items like this also bought:" as Castaway Theory.
This page leads to two other pages
this one
And
this one
Notice the ASIN given on the second page..
B0007ISONA, which is very similar to the one for Castaway Theory, B0000RGSYWI
7 is on A...

Commence speculation and debunkifying Smile

Haha rush, I had really intended that as humor, but I'm beginning to ponder it too...still, the books state that the neural matter used to create AIs becomes useless and would kill any human it came from...And the whole "outranks me" part doesn't really fit in.

Also, both ASINs start with B0, which in hex is 176.

 		Here's the actual book itself:

Golden Wing

If I weren't crazy, I'd say someone might be trying to make a buck off of some chump.

That's expensive. But the book page has been up since the second this was all discovered.

I just thought I'd point out that whoever posted the poem on the first page forgot a line -- the additional stanza added goes like this:

Or better I'll look
And find you away,
Mistaken in jungle?
My heart labors stayed?
Long weeks though were hidden.
In Amazon's folds;
The formula's secrets,
Love's story now told.

That doesn't change anything at all really, I was just pointing it out. But the reason I bring this up is because maybe we need to look at this stanza harder for clues? In context, someone/something hacked halo3.com and changed this poem - the change could have been either the spacing-code, the extra stanza, or likely both.

We got the code, and we found the book on Amazon, but is there anything else in there? The last two lines are strange to me - what love story? are the secrets of the formula divulged in the book on pages we can't view? Also, what about the line "my heart labors stayed". I don't even know what that REALLY means. Heart labors? wtf?

Just thinking out loud. Does anyone see anything else we could look at in that last stanza?


That stanzas in the OP. Also it's not a love story, it's Love's Story. I think the Jonas is AR theory could work well with this stanza.

"Jungle" is the nickname for Halo 3's first level. "Mistaken in jungle" could imply that MC and Arbie are making some sort of error early in the campaign's plot. Or it could just be an allusion to Amazon... :/

"The formula's secrets, Love's story now told."

...

That's it! It's a formula to make love! Let's see if I can solve it...

 		"The Formula's secrets" could just be referring to the fact that the equation isn't solvable. Or that 108 will play a pivotal role in the trail leading to Server 04.

"Love's story now told" implies that the author has given us all the pieces to the story (or told them) and we simply have to put it all together.

[randomspec] Perhaps it's the Forerunner's love for us that kept us alive, but ended with their deaths...
