 		Does anyone know if that Axon was hot prior, or was it a cold, or even a dead link?

As I recall, it was still "cold" - unconnected.

Maybe this means that Melissa's rechecking her axons and marking off those that aren't working. Hopefully, she'll create more.

 		It was cold, me and 8 other people were there at the 17:11 hi_aiden axon just an hour ago trying to find the actual phone, staked out several in the area, no avail. This makes 3 days in a row some of us had staked that axon. We decided there must be(e) some problem.

Now I come home and see the axon is cancelled... Sad

There was no phone there at the 'red dot'. Some were on different sides of the block in the vicinity, but not one on the actual block of street indicated by the GPS coords.

PLEASE G*D NO! The last thing in the world we need is MORE axons! We will be here months waitng for every posible axon to go hot if they keep replacing them until get there. This is more likely a way for the phase to roll to a close. It seems that we do 'need' all the axons accounted for. By 'Cancelling' them the PMs can still reach completetion without every stinkin' last phone from being answered.

check out this theory. It's super good. I Just Hope its wrong.

Subject: Halo 2 Theory (involving www.ilovebees.com) -Please Read-



I figured my theories need to be canonized and posted somewhere where all can read. They get lost in the other topic, which, at this moment, has surpassed 300 pages.

If you haven't kept up-to-date with all of the stuff on www.ilovebees.com, this might confuse you. Hang in there.

The Flood and Varrao Mites

I'm sure you've all noticed a particular sound that plays as you access the page titled "the Hive". With some help, I've found out something interesting. That sound is the sound a queen bee makes. Not only that, but the queen bee only makes this sound when she is trapped. The sound is a call for her bees to come and protect her, and she only makes this noise when her life is in danger. Sound familiar? It should. It's the same general message relayed through the scattered texts around the site. Trapped...endangered...all alone...

Second, on the "honey" page, Aunt M. tells us she can't produce more honey at the moment due to an infection of "varrao mites". (Note: I have noticed alternate spellings of this mite. One is spelled 'varrao', the other 'varroa', although they appear to be the same mite.)

On further inspection, the mites seem to have some characteristics that ring a bell. They attach onto their chosen host and cause deformities, eventually resulting in death. Another effect of these destructive mites is "queenlessness". In other words, these mites cause the colony to be without a leader. This sounds like something we're familiar with, doesn't it? Think Captain Keyes and the Flood.

It has become clear that the varrao mites are an integral part of this puzzle. Whoever narrarates the texts throughout the site speaks often of an eight-legged creature. This creature steals the narrator's thoughts. The narrator then goes on to say he or she has become a monster. It's all in the texts.

I have come to believe that this eight-legged creature is none other than a Flood infection form. I also believe the infection form is too similar to the varrao mite to be purely coincidental. See for yourself. The similarities don't just stop with text. The varrao mite even looks like a Flood infection form. Don't believe me? Check it out:

http://www.uky.edu/Agriculture/Entomology/entfacts/struct/ef608.htm

Three Swords

From what I gather, there are three "swords" present in this evolving story. Each sword is harnessed by a different race and used to combat the Flood. The swords, while not literally being a sword in the Halo Universe, have historical ties.

Cortana is the first, and most obvious sword. The well-known AI is used by the humans as a weapon against the Flood. Not only this, but Cortana is the name of a literal sword, part of Charlemagne's tale. When the sword struck, it dealt a fatal blow.

There are two other swords present in Charlemagne's tale. We'll get to that soon enough.

The second sword is Dana, who you all know to be the creator of www.ilovebees.com . Her site, and her, in a way, are being harnessed by the Covenant. As I said, the varrao mites are key. These mites, a.k.a. the Flood, have affected the Covenant far worse than they have us. It is possible they have infected a Prophet. I'm not clear on all of this just yet, but it seems that Dana is a way for the Covenant to communicate their cries for help. They are in more danger than us Humans are.

In Charlemagne's tale, the second sword is named Durandal, which is a name I'm sure most of you are familiar with. Durandal is sometimes referred to as Durandana.

Cortana and Durandana are both AIs. I can only assume the third and final sword is also an AI.

Two swords, two races. We are left with one more.

I quickly gathered that the Forerunner were the final race. It seemed obvious enough that the Halos were the tools they used to combat the Flood. However, I then realized the "sword" itself has to be a single entity. Another AI would make sense.

Sticking with the story of Charlemagne, one final blade remains. Joyeuse, the sword which the King used himself, has to be the last sword in this puzzle. Harnessed by the Forerunner, Joyeuse is an AI related to the Halos, which they use in order to defeat the Flood.

Although the AI Joyeuse remains to be seen, I am considering the idea that it might be a higher AI than 343 Guilty Spark. Perhaps it is one that governs over the entire network of Halos. Whatever the role Joyeuse the AI plays, it is surely an important one.

-

Well that's it. Thanks for reading, and if you think you know something that could add to my theory, please share. Even if you have some evidence that disproves it, you are welcome to share that.

This may be the best theory ever, but please stop posting the same thing over and over in different threads. Once was enough.

Well it's certainly the wrong thing to be posting in this thread...

I agree. I think "Axon Error" will be a "place holder" for axons that can't go hot due to problems with the phone that may or may not be at those coords.

 		Sadly, I think other unfound phones that have not been altered to axon error means those phones are still out there and we have made mistakes. I'm thinking (for example) about the one kaziel, harsh and I struck off inside the construction fence. May need to go look for more phones. But not before I try to clear some others this weekend.
