OOC, why is the final .wav called be_with_me? In every other .wav, you hear the name of the .wav during it, like 'module_core_hemmorage', 'blip', etc. So why not this one?


Durga actually did say 'just be with me' to Jersey while she had the music blaring. Easy to miss with the backgroud noise.

The flea didn't forge anything. Melissa did the forging; of the 'you're all I've got' conversation with Rani, and the 'triangles, lines, dots' conversation with McKaskill. Both of these were given to us, to transmit to Durga via the seeker.

Durga receives them, assumes they are real, and as a result the Chawla base raid goes off.

Question:

If Melissa forged the clips, how come Durga didn't know about it after the merger? She seemed to get the rest of Melissa/SP's memories.

Second question:

How come the Flea kept passing on transmisions to us after Melissa left, if he's really the Big Bad?

Third question:

Was it or was it not the Flea who originally gave Melissa the imperative to seek, behold, and reveal the truth? If so, and the Flea is Covenant after all, is seeking, beholding, and revealing the truth a bad thing?

Fourth question:

WHAT ABOUT Censored HARMONY?!? Come on, you can't say something like "Harmony is the key" and then never explain it! Arrrgh! <brain explodes>

 		It's the mark of a good ARG, Shad0. The end game brings more questions than answers. Wink

 		1) Compartmentalization? She hasn't reflected Smile on that activity yet?

2) Aw, he was just following orders.

3) It's only a good thing compared to destroying all sentient life in the galaxy (postulated by TuxKamen earlier in this thread).

4) It's just this planet, y'know? And [SPEC] the co-ords were mentioned in the Apocalypso data, or some other data Herzog had heard about, and he wanted to know if Standish was using the signal intelligence for his own purposes without the Admiral's consent.[/SPEC] Section Zero's wanted Standish forever.

As I see it, the Flea was "the smallest snippet of code possible", so its programming really only consisted of seeking, beholding, and revealing the truth. That is, it didn't have any ulterior motive other than that mission. This is why it helped uncover the connection between Melissa and the SP, as well as its intended mission of locating the artifact.

Not to mention pretty much all of bungie's games.... (i'm not all that familiar with the myth series, but people are still trying to tie up all the loose ends in the marathon story, after what, ten years or so?)

 		I have to say...this was a really well-done .wav.

I heard it first at the Chicago training mission (wish I could've gone to Denny's...stupid distance) and figured the increasing sound of the music was evidence of the Flea's intrusion. Despite the sound of Durga being somewhat unclear on my side of theatre, I could pick out enough to here "covenant virus", and "infiltration" and what not. I knew something was up.

And then Jersey cut the music.

It was like being on an falling elevator. That inhuman wail. The sound slowly resolving in my mind as an alarm klaxon.

Jersey going "Oh..."

The way Durga said "Yeah." had to seal the deal for me.

I know both the Voice Actors and the Puppet Master's have to be getting lots of kudos at this point. Let me just add mine to the pile.
