      Thanks! I'm actually kind of in love with the lyrical, poetical style of this particular monologue.

    Most intriguing… is this the virus speaking? or perhaps Archimedes?

    no, i think who it is is the first victim of the calvacade that was guarding Archimedes…what was its name again….

    No, it was the colonel. (The second victim)
    He was the one who heard that something was woken up.

    Yes, the one that was guarding Archimedes; I just wrote the transcript for that one, I don't think we've heard his name, EVER. >_> Jim.

    This is true, however I'm still thinking it's Archimedes'... hear me out.

    Sangheili voices that are muffled and indistinct? Sounds like the Ferials "planting" Archimedes for Viper to dig up. The matrix the speaker is in shifts, and it moves with it? perhaps the skull being picked up. The fact the speaker feels as though it had had a physical form, but cannot remember points to its being inside a skull, which would have once been part of a "physical form".

    My other thought is that it's the Cavalcada at Isolation (having trouble remembering the name). "waking up", then this delirium may be the result of Ferial's little buffer manipulation bogging him down. However, the "rendered form" that is human wouldn't be his, so that throws me back toward Archimedes.

    Discuss.

    Damn, I haven't got a damn clue about what this is. I'm going to guess at a Cavalcade member, due to the colour of the font.
    Also what map was this from. I'm guessing Cold Storage.

    Definitely Archimedes. Because Viper said those lines when they woke Archimedes up.

    Um, it wasn't Archimedes that they woke up…

  21. Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
    February 20, 2009 at 11:30 am | #

    It's definitely not Goddard. :)

  22. Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
    February 20, 2009 at 11:31 am | #

    It's from Cold Storage, but don't let that color your thoughts on where this is taking place. In case you hadn't noticed, I like to mix and match parts of various maps into a whole new, single location.

  23. xSOB a DooBy

    February 20, 2009 at 11:31 am | #

    But it may also possibly be the Calvacada at isolation.It might be the calvacada because he was captured by Ferial and placed there. And Viper actually said that when they woke the Calvacada member up, because it began attacking them. Those explosions could be when RC blew up the "trap" surrounding him. But I don't think it is because that theory has everything arranged in the right order. So back to the drawing board :)

  24. Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
    February 20, 2009 at 11:32 am | #

    Wow, I had no idea this would be so confusing. I thought for sure I provided enough clues in this one to make it clear who's speaking. Shows what I know. :)

    Nah he used Cold storage as a base for Ferial at one stage. It looks like a mancannon chute from somewhere. Could be anywhere but. It's not very detailed.

    Jim is saying the calvacada. Everyone at first who said that he gave points, and he said it wasn't Archimedes. And it suddenly makes sense. Ferial, (sanghelli) captured him, long time of nothing (being in a hibernation state for several millenniums), and then Viper partially waking it up to steal Archimedes. I can't figure out the rest and it is absolutely, definitely 100% Calvacada. No doubt :) Can;t figure out the rest but I'm sure it will become clear soon :)

      HOLY ****, MOTHER******! Sorry, are you serious? OMG! How the hell did you expect us to get it? I mean come on, that was like the 5th comic or something! So the virus couldn't infect all the Vipers because three were zapped away by the unnamed calvacada! OMG! So, is he stored somewhere, like electronically? In a computer? But it suddenly makes sense! He woke up, and Ferial was talking to the Calvacada. He was inside something, and his instinct told him that he still had a body, but he didn't. He found himself shifted into a computer or something like that (the matrix thing sounds like a computers memory or something) and then his memory suddenly returns. He remembers searching for Archimedes, as a part of Viper then someone says "I think we woke something up". And then he gets zapped up. OMG! :) You out did yourself yet again, but other people mentioned something like this in the earlier comments, saying something about which Viper was first captured. sigh Wrong again. Did you have fun watching me spin myself in the completely wrong direction, when the answer was right in front of me? :)

    I've been keeping up with the series for a while but haven't bothered posting. Just to let you guys know, I'm pretty sure the blurred Spartan at the end has a Hayabusa helmet and a CQB left shoulder. Though, I could be wrong.

    February 20, 2009 at 1:11 pm | #

    Wrong on both counts. ;-)

    And don't get too hung up on trying to figure out the armor permutations. They're actually not important here.

    Just because I give points (something which everyone can do, incidentally) doesn't mean the speculation in that comment is correct. It just means that it was a quality comment. :)

      So you say, but very few people give points, I'm pretty sure you're the only one and you did say it's not Archimedes (more or less). So that means it's the calvacada.

    I like them in moderation. They allow me to tell sides of a story that don't lend themselves easily to dialogue.
