 		[SPEC] Helping Melissa will bring the Covenant!?
First Post here so please bring some trout for me Smile

A message sent from Earth today could travel for 530 light years or so to hit a covenant world/ship with the location of earth.

According to "The Fall of Reach", the stories we are listening to are around the year 2553(What the exact date is I can't remember). So an infected AI, Melissa, is or is not right in the head. Maybe she is infected by a covenat AI or maybe She's been changed by interaction by the Micro Halo, for what ever reason. It thinks its found its crew. And either we help Melissa achieve her goals of contact and communication or she realizes we are certainly NOT even close to being her crew and sends out the emergency "Boned" signal which reaches hungry Covenant Outpost Zula 500 years from now. One slipstream jump and the Armada is on our door Step 500 years into the future.
One of us has already helped her by giving away the SP who was providing us with secret info. So if you are a "crew" member, who knows, it might be in your great-great-great-great grandchilren's intrest to share whats up with the rest of us.

[WILD SPEC] transmit the "job" Melissa gave to you encrypted by a magic word to the rest of us. Melissa might troll these forums to see if any one is sharing her secrects but an encrypted message might slip by here.

 		its come up before actually... the idea of the message traversing the cosmos until 2553

Mel won't troll the boards... we're being watched of course, but its [meta], out of game... in game, this forum doesn't really "exist" in the form that we as players see (basically any and all meta spec, or references to the PM's wouldn't exist in game)

not to mention the fact, that aside fromt the first google link puzzle, Mel hasn't managed to find anything outside the server except for the payphones... she likened surfing the web to groping through a tiny hole with a giant slimy tentacle

 		I wouldn't be so sure.

After all, Seargeant Mann's name got updated and corrected to the version from these boards, and how else did she get "shad0", as I didn't hear that spelled in his version of the wav...

Or maybe I'm wrong with that one.

Well, it could've been edited out, of course...but no, you're right. I didn't spell it for her, and she didn't ask me to spell it, and I did wonder how it would come out if I ended up on recipe1. The PMs had to get it from one of three places: this forum; e-mail I've sent to Dana; or e-mail I've sent to ladybee777SPLAThotmail.com -- none of which Melissa had access to as of last Tuesday. Dunno

(Theoretically, I suppose it could also have come from the Sleeping Princess's 404 error page a couple of weeks back, but, again, Melissa didn't know about that on Tuesday, either.)

 		For purposes of a cohesive game that actually relates to it's players, the
PMs take the initative to troll these and other forums. They do use certain
information and rely on us to maintain our "suspension of disbelief".
I know that SP, Melissa, and the whole rest of the gang don't exist but
I pretend that they do. I also pretend that Melissa just knows that your
name is spelled with a "0" at the end of it. This is [META] land which means
that it just does not exist to any of the ingame characters.
