[QUESTION] What's with this convo?

Pieced together from another forum:

EisforPants: EisforPants (5:04:05 PM): Where are Dr. Halsey and Kelly?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:04:19 PM): They are not known to me
EisforPants (5:04:31 PM): How many Spartans are left? I have only counted 3
EssPeeDeeAre (5:04:43 PM): There are five.
EisforPants (5:05:03 PM): Is Kelly included?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:05:50 PM): Kelly can be included, but she may not be what you think.
EssPeeDeeAre (5:06:31 PM): We are running out of time.
EisforPants (5:06:44 PM): The only Spartans I have counted are John, Linda, and Fred...the rest are dead except for Kelly, but she and Dr. Halsey are who knows where
EisforPants (5:06:52 PM): who and where is this other spartan?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:08:11 PM): The other is near. One bumblebee is unaacounted for.
EisforPants (5:09:34 PM): It could not be James, for he was lost in space. Grace had her midsection blown apart by a brute
EssPeeDeeAre (5:09:43 PM): Everything that you find is in the last place that you look. Why is this?
EisforPants (5:10:21 PM): I'm not sure
EssPeeDeeAre (5:10:34 PM): You will learn soon enough.
EssPeeDeeAre (5:10:53 PM): We are running out of time; we must act quicker than we had anticipated.
EisforPants (5:11:09 PM): Yes we must, but how?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:12:10 PM): 09, 06, 05. These are our tools.

here is part 2...
EssPeeDeeAre (5:12:20 PM): It is up to you how we will use them.
EssPeeDeeAre (5:13:46 PM): Help.
EisforPants (5:14:07 PM): How? What can I do?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:14:46 PM): They are coming. The children will not repel them.
EssPeeDeeAre (5:15:30 PM): We have seen this before, a recurring cycle. It has happened to our forebearers, it has happened to us, and now it is happening to them.
EisforPants (5:15:56 PM): Where and when have we seen this before?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:16:49 PM): It is the law of our pitiful existence, that we must watch this cycle repeat, over and over.
EssPeeDeeAre (5:17:27 PM): The children will soon start as we did, find what we found, and use what we used, and the cycle shall repeat.
EisforPants (5:18:00 PM): Which children? A new spartan project?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:18:44 PM): The project is irrelevant, they are all our children, and we can do nothing but watch them suffer.EssPeeDeeAre (5:21:23 PM): The children will find the key again, and they will use it. Then it shall be thier time as the fathers, and our time to become dust of the past.
EssPeeDeeAre (5:21:47 PM): This is the way of the loop. It cannot be changed.
EisforPants (5:21:57 PM): are you positive?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:22:08 PM): The loop cannot be changed.
EssPeeDeeAre (5:23:13 PM): It is inevitable, it will come to pass, as it has before. The children are nearing the end of thier cycle.
EssPeeDeeAre (5:24:09 PM): They may hold on to futile beliefs, but no matter what they try to convince themselves, it WILL happen. We have spent much time calculating this; the loop IS unbreakable.
EisforPants (5:24:22 PM): What about Captain Jacob Keyes?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:25:27 PM): This is a dead child. He is but dust. Soon, the rest shall follow. Except one. It is the way of the loop.
EisforPants (5:26:36 PM): I know he is dead, but what is all this other stuff about him?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:27:10 PM): There is no "other stuff". He is dead. There is nothing more to discuss.
EisforPants (5:27:45 PM): and Earth can't fall...can it? With the destruction of the Unyeilding Hierophant, the covenant should have been held off long enough for earth to create a strong enough defense system?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:28:38 PM): Earth will fall. This is the way of the loop. It cannot be prevented.
EisforPants (5:30:42 PM): But without Earth, the loop will end
EisforPants (5:30:45 PM): right?
EisforPants (5:30:54 PM): unless the loops is the path of Covenant destruction
EisforPants (5:31:02 PM): loop*
EssPeeDeeAre (5:32:06 PM): Earth is insignificant. It is but the starting point for the loop. The next cycle will have its own "Earth", its own "Key", its own "Hero".
EssPeeDeeAre (5:32:19 PM): But it will all be futile.
EisforPants (5:34:25 PM): Because the fall of Earth is inevitable?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:36:07 PM): ...There is an anomaly.
EssPeeDeeAre (5:38:59 PM): Earth's fall is inevitable. Earth's fall can be prevented. The loop is unstoppable, the loop may be stopped.
EisforPants (5:39:23 PM): How?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:40:12 PM): This is impossible. The loop is permanent. The loop cannot be stopped... and yet, it can.
EisforPants (5:40:59 PM): how?
EisforPants (5:41:21 PM): the destruction of the covenant?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:42:54 PM): The Covenant are not important. They would try to usurp the loop, and our children's position in it. But the loop is unstoppable. The children will be defeated, and therefore, so shall the Covenant. And yet... The loop can be stopped. But it cannot.
EssPeeDeeAre (5:43:47 PM): ...If the key was not to be used... What then? Would the Covenant destroy the children?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:44:20 PM): No. The key WILL be used. It is the only conclusion they will come to.
EisforPants (5:45:07 PM): who is they?
EisforPants (5:45:10 PM): and what is the key?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:46:06 PM): The children WILL use the key. But will they forsee the consequences? Can the key not be used? Can the loop be broken? Can we be free?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:47:15 PM): But every time we calculate it, we see. If the key was not to be used, the Covenant would kill every child.
EisforPants (5:48:03 PM): If the key is used, will the covenant succeed?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:48:09 PM): 7he fool 7hinks she can s7op it. She canno7. She WILL no7.
EisforPants (5:48:27 PM): Is the fool Cortana?
EssPeeDeeAre (5:49:27 PM): This connection must be terminated. But know this; The loop is unstoppable. The children will see. There is no other way... And yet, there is.
EssPeeDeeAre (5:50:40 PM): +++Connection uns7able+++FiFiFiFIIFiFIiFiFiFfIFififiiFifi
EssPeeDeeAre (5:50:50 PM): +++Connection Lost+++
EssPeeDeeAre signed off at 5:50:54 PM.

I'm confused, it'd be helpful if you all could look at this and speculate some.

In my opinion, that line gives away the fakery.

Chances are that it's just another kid trying to cause trouble in the game.

Location: in the space above the period at the end of this sentence.

the binary in the original:

translates to:

FINDTHEBUMBLEBEEFINDTHEBUMBLEBEE

the AIM conversation definitley seems a hoax, but thought i'd see what the binary had to say.
