i've been posting at the bungie.net forums and lurking here and lighting NYC axons.

somehow today i answered the 11:17 PDT phone for "not anymore" and became a sargent (don't know the ranking system well enough, didn't want to go too high or say something that doesn't exist).

so i thought i'd say hey to you all.

Melissa sounded real, but i suspect it was just a really awesome Turing test. she did repeat my name back to me though without hesitation and later in the conversation called me sargent (the rank i chose), but she still sounded very AI and scripted. i guess it's cheaper just to hire an awesome actress...

I wonder how many crewmembers she's scouting... 35 or 40?

Mann Alive - welcome, and thanks for the axon!
Not to worry - I think the Marines may have sergeants (no Sergeants in the Navy). You're with Col. xnbomb

shad0 - me too - gonna try to sneak out for one of the Georgetown Cinema ones later if possible.

Someone should identify themselves as MasterChief or Cortana or something, and find out if the PMs are willing to lean on the 4th wall. Very Happy

Well, I answered the 12:03 PDT axon, and I did not get the "live" Melissa. Sad

I think we can rule out that it has anything to do with how many times a particular axon has gone hot because mine has gone hot every time.

I see that weephun got the live call in my group. Way to go!!!

Shad0, my mom is going to try and make the 14:09 axon also. So if you see a lady with red/brown hair checking out the pay phones ask if her son sent her...

I can see it now... Admiral Angelo's Mom....
Shad0, please make it!

edit to let angelo know I'm not making fun of you or your mom... just think it would be funny to have a sucessful live enhottenation with someone completely ignorant to the story or the plot (someone just following their son's direction, for instance) and then getting clip-ranked, and well, yeah... it's just funny, but it would be for anyone's mom, not just yours...
