Alright, alright, I know that A LOT of people were let down by this whole ILB thing. Yeah, sure, half of it was mine and a couple other peoples fault but still, we did it to ourselves. When these little clips started I was like "Wow, what a frikkin *expletive* *expletive* waste of *expletive* *expletive* time!" I kind of rejoined what was going on a little while ago and stuff is starting to make sense.
These sound clips definately take place in the Halo universe. If you order the WAV's correctly then you can actually understand the story, it's a lot like listening to a book on tape. And the story isn't half bad. But really, should we blame Bungie for letting us down? I mean we can't really blame them for keeping the lid on their game. They are just trying to keep their edge. This is something that they are releasing to keep us occupied till Halo 2, it's better than nothing, I say....
But anyways, if you are still interested then this is what is happening:
1. As many of you know, there are multiple sets of Axons. They are all on the Fun Stuff page. The first set was under Amazing Facts! the second was under Hive Ku and the current set is under The Fable of the Bee. Presumabley the last set will be under The Myth of Comatas.
2. At the top of the page on each Axon page their is a counter, counting how many axons we have activated. Currently we have 451/777 axons activated. Some think this is actually counting down to something important, something that we have been waiting for, something that will be useful to us. Personally, I think it is counting down to another phase in the ARG, a new type of puzzle.
3. There are three main characters in the story that the Wav files are telling. They are:
Jersey Morelli, an ordinary guy whose computer has been taken over by an eavesdropping AI he nicknames Durga;
Jan James, a 17-year-old girl tricked out with genetic enhancements who along with her military dad is hiding some pretty serious secrets;
Kamal, a med student who immigrated to Earth and is now willing to trade his elite hacking skills for help bringing his parents over — and maybe improve his flatlined lovelife. (Those were taken from Dana's Blog)
4. The stories of these four people are slowly starting to intersect. Durga, spies on people for Jersey. Jersey lives in the same building as Jan and sometimes spies on her. Durga also spies on Kamal for herself, but she doesn't know why yet and doesn't know why he seems so interesting. Durga also keeps mentioning that she has been thinking about bees a lot. Some people are speculating that Durga is an AI from the future.
5. The story is interesting. If you want to actually listen to the story without being confused then you have to listen to it in order. Here is the order for the first set of axons:
8: parasites
15:eyes
24:beer
21:four_goats
7:our_hoodlums
19:much_lifting
26:meditape
10:you_could
17:say_something
12:guilty
22:message_saved
14:tuna
29: hi_aiden
5:dizzy
25: escape
2: jersey
18:reflected
11: durga
1: blip
27: pillow
16: walkaway_girl
3: hey_soldier
9: pqi
20: stupid_cop
4: yes_or_no
23:hey_dad
13: nervous
28:law_abiding
6: you_knew
30:emergency
Particularly interesting in this set is Jan James' story. She is obviously a genetically modified human. As is her father and mother (that's what I'm getting from the latest set) Her father was part of the SSF which is Marine slang for "Super Secret Forces" *spartan* *cough* He implies, to his daughter, that something bad is going to happen but that he will take care of it. Like I said particularly interesting.
Here is the order for the next set:
10:cute_little_caps
34: pony_tail
15:freelance
8: bracelet
6: panic_button
21: code_word
3:blue_then_red
19: visa
12: my_family
23: shock_sticks
17: trigeminal
26: red
31: i_hate_you
24: tack_hammer
29:raining_cops
2: dude
20:the_human_heart
14: curious_girl
27: exclusive_license
9: good_at_my_job
4: awful_fast
32: real
36: creepy
7: pigeon
16: accessorize
18: frustrated
5:to_do
28: on_time
11: code_nothing
1:anything_illegal
33: right
22: standard_procedure
13: drt
35:creamsicle
25: miracles
30: asset
This time Kemal's story get's more interesting while Jan's get's really effed up. I'm not sure about the identity of the person that was shot but I think it was Aiden. The officer might have been the same person that showed up at Aiden's apartment when Kemal was there, the same officer that Aiden had the arrangement with. This officer also knows that Jan was injected with "Miracles" that made her a super human. Jan's dad also refers to how he worked with "the best."
That's all for now cuz I'm too tired of typing but just because it's not what you expected doesn't mean it's not cool.
Yeah.
