[Wild Spec] cpt keys......ilovebees

[Paynie]

Bungie said in a interview with IGN that Cpt. Keyes was dead for good.

Theory, pwnd.

[SpaceBass]

How's that new crackpipe working out for you, four9erfan?

[four9erfan]

uh......who said the site is about halo 2?

it could be memories by cpt keyes from halo

because* it makes sense if you* think about it

one of the message* things is about the navy.....cpt keyes was* in the* navy

and the one about when he is shipwrecked.....cpt keyes was* shipwrecked, when the piller of autum crashed into halo

and many more

* edited for horrid spelling that raped my eyeballs - SG

(s)he's right, this could totally be a marketing campaign/online experience for a console game that has already been released.

Er, um... no. I'm suspecting (and trout me at will once I am proven wrong) that this Captain Keyes has nothing to do with anything.

Mind you, given the speculation you've provided, I wouldn't put it past the PMs to be developing a game about Gilligan's Island. I mean, the Skipper, wasn't he in the Navy? And wasn't there something about being shipwrecked? Oh, and top of that, the Professor was always quite resourceful -- could he somehow be involved with the Cortana letters?

Okay, semi-spoilery here, but..

Here's why this theory doesn't work. Keyes is the deadest character who ever did die.

First, he gets infected by the flood and turned into a hideous mutant blob, but then the Master Chief proceeds to rip out his brain/neural implants. That's two deaths already.

Then, as if he wasn't already dead enough, you go and nuke Halo as well. The violated and now-brainless corpse of Keyes is on Halo. Hence: Boom.

I don't think any character has died harder.

Sarge has died harder, several times, and now he's back! ROCK ON SARGE

Another bit of rampant speculation (this one partially inspired by the BBV movie DOWNTIME):

Perhaps Keyes got trapped in a computer system while he was attempting to keep hold of his sanity (remeber the bit in The Flood where he's trying to keep hold of his sense of self -and thus his sanity - by latching onto his CNI Transponder carrier wave, the only think in Keyes's mind that the Flood can't infect).

A similar thing happens to Danny Hinton in DOWNTIME - he's trying to break into the New World University mainframe, gets tagged by the Great Intelligence (an old Dcotor Who baddie from THE WEB OF FEAR), and - when his body is turned into a Yeti servitor by one of the Intelligences control spheres - his mind (or essence, if you will - the experiences, memories, and other bits of mental flotsam and jetsam that make him Danny Hinton instead of, say, Kate Lethbridge-Stewart or Sonny Bono) gets trapped in the New World mainframes.

[No.]

Is Keyes female?

No?

The Operator thinks that she's female.

"Get it together, girl."

The whole "Queen" thing.

And again..

A: Keyes is the DEADEST CHARACTER WHO EVER DID DIE.
B: Unless we see some conclusive proof of time travel in the Halo universe, then we're not getting anywhere fast.

[keybsnbits]

How does this explain being called "The Operator" -- one of the few things SHE remembers.

Edit: Somebody hook this thread up with either a lock or a big trout slapping fest.

[No.]

I think Time Travel exists in the books, but I haven't read them, just relaying what I read in another thread.
