[spec]Whats going to happen when the clock hits 777?? Well, since we have arrived at what seems to be the final round of axons it seems to me like there has to be more than just these axons because Halo comes out in a few monthes, and I predict that all the final axons will be answered in a about two weeks. Mostlikely that will begin a new game or pocess is what I'm thinking what about you??

i hope so. i was just thinking the same thing, looking at the site. We're getting close to the total, and just like the timer clocking down, we're gonna tick over onto the next stage. Bagsy being up and online when the 777th axon's got.
On a side note, i'm really struggling to keep up with the workings of the story, since my pc died, and the one i'm using has decided it no longer needs the ability to play sound. Fixings are in progress, but slow.
(not that it affects anyone other than me.. but yeah)

Keep in mind that there are twelve pages linked from the "fun stuff" page (including the page itself), plus the hidden recipe3 page. Each Tuesday, either one of the twelve main pages is updated with a full list of new axons, or the recipe3 page is updated with a few new, 1:1 axons. New axons each Tuesday, with a full list every other tuesday, with twelve pages total for the full lists, divided by four, carry the seven, is a really really long time.
So don't worry. Axons ahoy!

I just hope its not a case of "The Nine Billion Names of God", a short story from Arthur C. Clarke. Read it and you will see why....

The spec I saw earlier and like a lot is that the Queen won't put axons on the recipe pages, just the other types of fun stuff. (Mainly because I don't want to consider n more weeks of axon hunting...)
The only in-game clues we have as to what will happen at 777/777 are that we have to get there, and that the Queen will trust us more when we do. Perhaps once she's verified we are who she thinks we are (by pretty crappy methods, because we aren't ) she'll stop making us go to payphones to prove it to her.

C'mon this is Bungie we're talking about...
Seriously i believe that like sherpa said, the Queen will trust us more. Since we're attempting to reconstruct the Operator's fragmented memory via the .wav's, something interesting should happen once we've resorted it. Hopefully this will take another direction from enhotenating and we'll learn more about the story (i.e Jan, Jersey, Kamal and the gang), since i'm quite enjoying the saga that is ilovebees.com.

[spec]I just hope the Queen does decide to trust us more when the bar fills. We actually may have flubbed that.

yeah, I really doubt there'll be more enhottenations necessary after this week... why else would there be the big countdown?
something's gonna go down... I suspect maybe we're opening these connections to help the Queen transmit a message to the future or something... maybe the site will return to normal and we'll hear nothing for a little while. then... CHAOS!!! as the covenant are alerted to the location of earth...

Yes, but, as Sherpa pointed out:
On the 404 error page, the Sleeping Princess wrote:
The other thing I can tell you is, she's getting more and more sure she is in touch with her crew. She has this idea that delivering a certain number of messages will PROVE that she is transmitting to her friends, so get to that number! I think she will be less secretive once she trusts you more.
And that was when we had already failed to activate three of the axon clips from fable.html and two from recipe3.html last week. Hopefully this means we're still on the right track.

That's funny, I was thinking the same thing but you put it much more eloquently.
I was just thinking, though... why would a futuristic AI, damaged though it may be, use such crappy logic? The only thing I can think of is The Flea. If that's true... then he WANTS Melissa to trust us, and I'm not sure if I like that... :

or, because she's new to this era, she doens't know what the internet is... all she knows is she's posting coordinates which she assumed are being tracked by her crew who also crashed and are trying to re-unite with her... she has no idea the internet is viewable by every human on earth. So when one of the coordinates is successfully hotted, and the only source for that coordinate being the reference she's 'broadcasting', and assuming only her crew know where to 'tune in', it's quite possible she actually does think she's contacting her crew... given a slight margin of error, if all her broadcasts are successful, she can assume fully that we really are her crew.
that's my viewpoint...

I really hope something visual or readable comes out of this (like a short film or a book). This story is really interesting and I would just dive into the whole story if it used visuals and audio and sequential events. That's just me and I know it probably won't happen, but a guy can dream can't he?
I doubt that these characters' stories will end with the next few axons going hot. I do think that that's it for axons and something totally different will come our way in order to find out the rest of the story.
