[SPEC] Endgame speculation - place your bets!

So, it seems the game is going to end soon. I thought it would be a good idea to start this thread, where people can make their case for how they think the game is going to wind down, how (if at all) it's going to tie in to/appear in Halo 2, and what's going to happen to our protagonists.

So, put your endgame speculation in here and after the game we can come back and see who's the closest to the truth. Smile

(I don't have time right now to post my own thoughts, but I will be back to post them in a little while.)

Everyone DIES. And I mean EVERYONE. Durga goes rampant, and because of that, she thinks that killing everyone now will be more merciful than letting them die of the Covie attacks, so she kills off EVERYONE, and then herself, realising that she's rampant. And, via a reversed-engineered connection using the PF, she manages to eliminate Mel and the SP and PF back in our timeframe. Then, Dana kills Aunt Marge, and takes over her honey-selling business. Also, Dana manages to conquer the world rather easily by doing several more ARGs done by the same people who did this one (hint-hint, PMs!).

Just off the top of my head, there.

I hope it doesn't end soon. I'm pretty sure that we're all in agreement that the invasion will happen either Tuesday or the week after, but I'd love to know what happens to these characters once combat begins.

Problem is, we'll have less people to answer pay phones. I'm sure we'll lose quite a few to the game this is leading up to.

20 dollars sez:
We help Melissa kill the SP, for better or for worse.
We somehow enable Melissa, through active help or by our continued support, to commandeer sophisticated or experimental transmission equipment from our time that will enable her to return to her time of origin. Whatever results from her return(Durga/Melissa shizophrenia?) I will not guess, but it will preclude a terrible outcome on earth in the future.
Leaving us to be the jerks. Smile

Ditto. I think we are going to be responsible for something...er..."bad"......that will happen in the game.

I don't know about the end game but next week I see Kamal going back online to find out what happened to Sophia, leading him to rescue her from the refugee camps. Durga may be involved in letting Kamal know what happened.

For Jann I don't know perhaps she and the "family" continue preparing for the covenant. Perhaps durga will try to enlist them to investigate the artifact or protect Rani from standish.

Jersey and Durga may continue to struggle with what to do about the artifact and her "rampancy" issues.

Melissa goes rampant through the closest thing she has to a planetary network: BitTorrent. She then kills everyone who pirated Halo2. The world is a better place.

You go, sista!

In all seriousness, I want to be the first one in line to claim (in this topic, at least) that I think at least ONE of our characters will be seen in-game, if only in a cutscene or something far too non-interactive. ('Twould be great to see Jan, Gladys and Gillie whup up on some Covies, or Durga help Cortana with something important.)

I want to place a bet that, as unlikely as it may be, Jan is the character we get to see in Halo 2.

My own thought is that everyone is going to end up in Boston (after Durga gets Sophia out of the camps for Kamal). Jersey will get Jan's help in return for helping her take down Kinkle, and Kamal's help for helping him free Sophia. They'll get Rani in on it too, maybe by showing her the clips of Herzog's assassination.

They'll combine their skills to get into Chawla base and take the artifact, do their whole 'saving the world' thing and neutralise the artifact threat, just in time for the Covenant to fall back on Plan B: "Why Didn't The Bomb Go Off Oh Well Let's Invade Earth".
(Operation WDTBGOOWLIE for short)

Not sure how the whole Durga/Melissa/Princess thing is going to play out just yet... but I think Durga is not going to make it beyond the end of this game. :/

My guess is that the ARG will end up having some sort of lasting impact on the world, and knowing that we were part of creating the backdrop for Halo 2 will be our reward.

I still think Durga and Cortana should hook up and cause all the covenant ships to spin around in circles or something Smile
