omg, the Reclaimer LOGO is Ferials symbol? and im guessing its safe to assume that that was put in there by you, jim?
It was, indeed. Occasionally, I do a little additional Photoshoppery.
you sly devil you
ya thank god it wasn't put there by bungie
imagine all the freaks tryin to figger out wat it ment
lolz
Sounding sneaky. At first I thought there was a Reclaimer symbol in the geometry of Orbital. And I thought it was just a logo!
Heh, that'd have been pretty awesome.
SYMBOLOGY!!!! I love the reference! "'Symbology'!? I believe the word you're looking for is 'symbolism'... I'm an expert in, you guessed it! 'nameology'."
Boondock Saints reference spotting aside, I'm surprised you made the Reclaimer logo Ferial's symbol, but then again, why would Ferial have his own symbol and what exactly does it mean?
That's a good questions. Care to speculate?
well, Jim can't make it Ferials actual emblem, which is very unfortunate, if i had a chance then i would do something like that I.e. put up my own picture for emblem
HAHAHAHAHA. Typo in the text above
That's a good questions 
Sorry.
Hmm, looks like Ferial has worked his magic again. I wonder where this is going. The symbol is a nice touch, too. Finally, we get some Photoshoping besides the comic book effect!
It does happen once in a rare while.
Very nice effect on that hologram projection. Very Star Wars-ish. _
Thanks. It didn't come out quite the way I wanted, but it's close enough for government work.
i'll be honest, i liked it. but what brought you to use the logo as Ferials symbol? or was it Ferial's symbol you decided to use as the logo?
I don't remember. I made that particular decision quite a while back, and I don't quite recall what caused me to twist the plot in that particular direction.
Yup, i did think it was just a Logo. but I've been wrong before.
makes me wonder tho, if Ferial has actually been there, or if it is some place doing research on him. knowing Ferial, he's been there and is the reason everything is so quiet. unless Ferial is one of the secrets that the UNSC was forward about. reading it as "...worse things then the Flood. It was Ferial….", meaning that the UNSC, and Viper, knew about Ferial a long time ago. heck, Ferial might have been the one to propose the Reclaimer and Viper projects in the first place. (it does say "someone" started them, in one of the first few comics). i wouldnt put it past him to create more peices of his own to move around the board as he sees fit.
The Reclaimer and Blackhammer (Viper) programs were started by the UNSC, without any influence from Ferial. It doesn't mean that Ferial wasn't able to influence things later on, though.
So, Ferial is the reason the tether is empty? Whether the tether is real or not?
The tether's real enough. The question is whether what the narrator is seeing is real or not…
yeah, that's what I meant. Guess I didn't phrase it properly though.
...hmmm. Didn't it pop up on the computer a while back. Speaking about Reclaimer and Viper. Do the UNSC know about ferial and have dealings with him? Although it seems unlikely owing to Goddards reaction to him.
Speaking of Goddard… Is it possible that Ferial's symbol is showing up because it is his virus, or whatever it was he neutralized Goddard with, that has caused the station to empty? Maybe his virus opened an airlock or did something else to cause the tether to be evacuated?
It did, indeed. Kind of casts that message in a different light now, doesn't it?
That message wasn't in a very good light to begin with, but it definately just got worse.
well i cant wait till my halo wars arrives to see more of these maps, these sscreenshots are amazing. should be interesting to find out what charachters we get with sandbox tomorrow.
wow, That's just awesome. I've always thought the symbol was like the logo of the Reclaimer program. But it turns out it belongs to Ferial, like some kind of signature. It would be interesting if it started showing up everywhere Ferial has been. It would add some interesting subtext to the stories. So if that logo belongs to Ferial, what is the symbol of the Reclaimer program? That would be an interesting contest actually. It would also be cool to see a reclaimer program shirt or something.
Well I have RC sweatshirt, hmm been wearing Ferial's Symbol around huh, oh well, score one for the bad guys. Still wearing my hoodie though!
An excellent idea. I'll write that down and keep it in mind for a future competition.
I… I feel so special. Just in case, I'm going to start designing a logo… right now.
Simply amazing, Jim.
Thanks. I'm glad you approve.
Mind you, it's important to bear in mind that this is what the narrator thinks is true; maybe not necessarily what is true.
Granted.
Interesting…if i just click here…aaaand….HERE. Open—>Symbol—>Program: DREAMSTATE activated
interesting speculation…. somehow i believe that this symbol is something larger than just a virus… Looking forward to that reveal
As are we all!
I can see Dreamstate projecting a virtual world within the victims head, however I doubt this is the case… Wasn't the narrator one that [i]didn't[/i] get infected?
Sounds way to "matrix"y
I have a feeling that the answer will be very simple… unfortunately the pic of dreamstate looks like zoombie to me. Thus my mind has a hard time making up a good theory
Not to step backwards in talking about Viper but I notice that the individual that is speaking here is rather well educated so these are not just some common criminal who killed someone for the thrill. Maybe just me but the introspective in the last two pages is very thoughtfully phrased.
Well, the Viper program is a subset/descendant of the SPARTAN program, no? And education was an integral part of that program, so I would assume they educated their soldiers somewhat thoroughly.
Notice that the narrator never said what kind of criminals they were.
But it was certainly bad enough for a death sentence…
Indeed, it was.
OH MY GOD!!! You didn't tell us that Ferial's symbol is the main page symbol. By the way I love the new Wiki.
Enjoy that wiki. You wil more than likely find interesting story points and backstory showing up there as it develops.
Jim, this is going to sound slightly odd/creepy…
...I love you; you actually gave information OUTSIDE of the comics and comments!!!!
There's a lot of salient details that I'm more than happy to reveal as they relate to the backstory of Reclaimer that probably won't come up in the course of the comic itself.
But, it was on something that came up and you didn't tell us, I believe you even told us you were going to hold it for later.
More importantly, what plot points will be revealed.
and (less importantly, but still interesting) what kind of forging were going to see, cause just a bunch of sand dunes, although useful, isn't the best for a first look.
That would be correct.
Craziness. Great stuff Jim, just awesome in every way. Love the shots in this one- LOVE them. and I mean LOVE. (In all honesty, they're pretty fantastic.)
Hehe, tell me how you really feel…
Not publicly, I want to see just where you take this without the influence of viewing our speculation. (I.E. I don't want you to change the story if I guess right)
nameolism
No worries. The direction I plan to run with this is pretty set in stone at this point.
Regardless, nice reference with the title. I love that movie.
I have to laugh. I've never seen that movie.
It would be pretty funny to watch.
Did I ever mention that Orbital is going to rule the world?
Oh wait, it's a space elevator. It's already a key part in ruling the world.
This makes things interesting. I always that was the Reclaimer's symbol, but it looks like it's really Ferial's.
Of course, if people have already figured that out, feel free to throw pitchforks at me and let loose little children who will kick my shins and make me feel bad at myself for reasons unknown.
... I don't know why I'm going beyond necessary commenting.
Perhaps not, but it might just be the best for an interesting plot development.
second time now he's mentioned 'interesting plot development' in a row…. i'm now more than intrigued by what this means. Jim is excited
everyone if you noticed this already ignore this but if you haven't just listen. If you go over the comic with you're mouse and stay in one spot with it you see a little tidbit of humor, this one's is "...and you thought it was just a logo". but it only has one in all up to comic 152 -Assembly Yard.
Did you only just find that?
Heh, yeah, that's been there since the new site design went live.
I kept looking at them to see if there's some more of those hidden little eggs in the text. But you're not gonna do that now are you
lol..i was like i dont remember that being there?! you made me go back on halo to check…i just got mythic map pack yesterday so i havent been off it since..love the comic btw…dont know which map is better but im loving sandbox the map is basically a blank state and theres a really cool feature… a game of golf lol…yup you heard me …. a golf set. a 7 wood, a tin cup and a giant golf ball.. the seven wood is actually a golf club but with the properties of a grav hammer…ive already started makin maps to put on my fileshare.
I'm always excited where it comes to Reclaimer.
He has mentioned that a lot over the course of 160 comics
Though not bad enough that they would be allowed the chance that they would live.
cold blooded calculating killers?
