One thing I don't get is in eyes.

"Your lady friend asked to deliver this to you, she was unavoidably called away... and the check sir."
"Aw man. Just the check will be fine."

Just the check? His lady friend delivered something to him. A note, her phone number, something. But he declined it. What was it and why did he not take it?

Since someone was worrying about it:

I'm pretty certain the Wiki is back up and running, apparently on a lighter framework. Personally, I just hate editing a Wiki with this much activity going on. Too many edits in rapid succession are just going to make it impossible to keep things straight.

I think this was easier for the cloudmakers: one IRC chat room for all the speculative stuff, ONE email list for well-founded stuff, puzzles, and solves. Everyone saw every important theory without having to page through 80-odd pages of posts in a degenerating thread.

At the beginning of the parasites file, Hiro says "the connection went dead for a few seconds"

Well perhaps that event happens simultaneously with Durga going "Wide awake and physical." Maybe in doing so, she caused a brief connection failure in the system....whatever system that is, heh. And then maybe Jan and James' lives will coincide with Kumal and Sophia's along with Jersey and Durga's stories as well.

Also, I was listening to the date .wavs again, and to me it does in fact seem like there is a piece missing between the two parts. Because if you listen to what they're saying, Sophia at the end says "I'm never going back." In reference to "Coral" A town I imagine that they both turn out to be from, that they start talking about..in the middle portion of this date that seems to be missing. That's the only reason why I can think there is a piece missing. I mean, besides the fact that the two don't seem to match up exactly anyway since at the end of one shes laughing and at the beginning, she's replying to something Kumal said.

I'm comfortable with Sophia and Kumal's time in the restaurant at the start of their date being just those two wave files [our_hoodlums and much_lifting]. Here's a combined transcript:

The voice of the guy in Emergency- the one who is reporting the fire- sounds an awful lot like one of the generals in one of the Halo 2 vids.

It is the one where master chief jumps out of the ship onto Earth. Well one of the guys cortnana is tlaking to during sounds very similar.

Just an observation.

Coral is presumed to be another planet:

1) Sophie hasn't told her mother on Coral about Aiden because he's just so "Earth."
2) Aiden has helped people immigrate TO Earth.
3) There are enough Halo links to assume that we've spread off of Earth.

In the last 20 pages there's a lot of argument as to whether there's a missing clip between our_hoodlums and much_lifting. I maintain that there is no missing clip:

1) There's one clear missing clip left, and only one clip we haven't unlocked. 'pillow' will go between 'blip' and 'walkaway_girl' because we don't even have complete sentences there.
2) The conversation in 'our_hoodlums' flows just fine into 'much_lifting' -- Sophie chimes in to Kamal's sentence to say that Aiden isn't one of "our hoodlums", causing them both to laugh. Then Sophie says wistfully "Exactly..." before elaborating about how her mother would react if she DID tell her.
3) What content would go into such a gap? There's another whole 45 seconds of them talking about her mother? I doubt it.
4) If you listen to large.wav posted elsewhere in the thread, it's difficult to even tell where the transition WAS.

Just my personal pet peeve topic in this thread, sorry.
