Re: Spear to Plasma

In Response To: Re: Spear to Plasma (Jillybean)

: The story page is made on your bones, so it's all for a good cause :D

: (I like this theory! Don't give up!)

Sincere thanks for the reassurance and encouragement, but... you may come to regret those kind words. I now have an analysis of the first tablet which runs to about 2500 words - dealing with the foundation of the Covenant means you have to at least touch on the origin(s) and location(s) of the major species - so far I can see at least three alternative theories supportable by interpretation of the tablet(s), and I'm trying to do justice to them all.

I'll let it simmer for at least a day or two before I post it for comment, correction, contributions, and to allow other people to claim due credit for the theories and observations I've reinvented, since I'm a newcomer round here - and the forum search function makes me deeply uncomfortable. As I sit here watching the browser window refresh - for minutes or hours at a time - I find myself haunted by the mental image of some poor little server box frantically spinning its discs and growing ever hotter, while all over the world rabid Halo fans snarl and pound their keyboards in frustration because the forum page is taking forever to load. I'm exaggerating slightly because I find it hard to resist a verbal flourish, but only slightly.
