Standish:

Ok, after some digging around on geocode.com, I found out the the coords for Standish map directly to:

22 Jefferson Rd
Rochester, NY 14623

Now, I googled parts of this address and couldn't find anything. I don't know if this maps to a payphone in some other state or city on Jefferson Rd - possibly the GMs messed up the zip code or something when they entered it. I haven't found anything yet.

There IS a 22 Jefferson Ave in Rochester, which I will try to scope out today. Any help regarding this would be appreciated.

Have you checked out all the locations around 22 Jefferson Rd?

oh! i fForgot there is another 'jefferson' in the area. It's absolutely nowhere near the axon coords, nor is it possible in any way to mistake the two even a little bit. jefferson ave is in a slum of a slum area, entirely residential. i strongly doubt there are any payphones there. I quite believe improvius when he says there are no payphones.

This is just some crazy thoughts, but couldn't "343GS" be the "artifact". Theres not much evidence but the artifact.wav. which says:

"...a curious object adrift in space..the object was roughly the size of a tire, a Covenant artifact of a completly new design unlike anything we've seen before and frankly pretty unscruttable."

and also from Melissa's shipboard memories:
"...a squat cylinder of dull gray metal, about the size of a suitcase..."

If you've seen the ending of Halo, past the credits, you get to watch a little clip that shows that 343GS survived the Halo incident. He would just be adrift in space, or I mean where would he go? Some of the evidence seems to match up:

1.343GS is an "cylinder"
2.To the humans who had never seen a Forerunner object, they would mistake for a Covenant object.

--I could be very wrong..and it that case just delete or ignore this post

AHF: no, that makes a **scary** amount of sense. My main problem with the whole forerunner-artifact theory was "wtf is a forerunner artifact doing in deep space when all the ones we've seen so far have been planet-based?"

But 343GS is a forerunner artifact, and he is in deep space... and he has special reasons of his own for wanting to get into human space.

The question *then* becomes: why does having 343GS aboard your ship cause an entire solar system's comm channels to go on the fritz when you crash out of slipspace?

This is all very wonderful spec, but it doesn't really have much to do with making the coords on recipe3.html hot...

Is there a known phone number for the Standish axon, and does it ring? If it did, and someone picked up, we could ask them where the phone is - especially if the phone number was reassigned.

Otherwise it's time to petition the Princess!

It's not that we're fed up - we've tried as hard as we can to get Standish, and it's not going to happen.

Anyway, what's the story on cranky_old_man? I haven't read anything about any problems finding it. Surely we have some folks in Minneapolis who can check it out.

Not a peep re Minneapolis. And it looks to be on University property. There MUST be somebody there...
