 		[SPEC] I know how The three scenarios are related
Seek the truth
behold the truth
reveal the truth



TRUTH

That's how they're linked, by Truth

In Spy(my name for it): they go and seek the truth about aiden, the truth is beholden for a few seconds, they then reveal it, and get back at aiden whow as not being truthfull

In Jail (my name once again): She continues to bends the truth about what's she's done, who she is, or better yet, what she is, along with her father, sadly the police only got as far as to seek the truth

In AI (obviously): this is the main plot, so durga is on a serch for the truth, they are currently seeking the truth about Jan (I'd think) and Durga.


What do you think? am I high? Am I trying to take the smallest thing and turn it into something big? or am I actually right? Truth has a lot more than what we have given it credit for, we are currently seeking the truth, but we have almost revealed it. Then we can behold it and say w00t! hazah!

 		I am in admiration for your spec. The movie trailer also mentioned the truth concept, and Melissa is transmitting small bits of the truth which assembler into the bigger truth.

At least we arent dealing with false ememories at this time, possibly later on. When you think about it, isnt Melissa seeking the truth about herself, to know the entire truth?

Methinks you do have something, and I like it sooo much better than trying to cram it into other mythos....

 		Truth is fine for the first two, but I don't really see a big involvement for it in the third. Jersey is just a horny teen, looking to scope out Jan, and Durga is just an AI that wants to show what shes got. You could say they were looking for the truth of what happened with Durga, but it doesn't really seem to interest Jersey that much. It's a nice try though, it may fit in somehow.

Yay but of course what about findin who she is and her real anme? that's a seek for the truth. If thinking durga is Mellisa all the same then they really relate, but yah I'm on tipsy water, unless that's what durga is doing by searching for the truth she comes across these 2 incidents.

 		I like it as well. Not sure about the actual "truths" but I think there is something to this. You have a bunch of scenarios all somehow relating to the perception of truth.


Plus there is always what Melissa says on the about.html page
"Mission Parameters: I must reveal the truth"

So these things are somehow related to "the truth"


Whatever, I think there is something to the whole truth thing.

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.

 		That's about one of the best specs I've read. Do each of the sword's names (cortana, durandal, etc...) have meanings?

Aw, c'mon. Enough people have said they like it so far. You don't need to keep posting to encourage response! I think it's an interesting theory - we certainly need to keep focused on what we already know from previous phases, rather than the cloud of [SPEC] that we always erupt into after updates. (This being the arguably biggest update yet, the cloud is also the biggest.. 107 pages last time I looked!)

zerosknightmare, could you please keep your spamming to one thread? (And replies in that thread, too, thanks.)

Hey, even more specifically doesn't this correspond to:

Jan: Behold the truth
Kamal: Reveals the truth
Jersey: Seeks the truth

I mean, that fits really well.
