This Egg goes much deeper than you think
Posted By: Omega <OmegaInTexas@aim.com>Date: 10/3/09 5:47 p.m.


KAH 343G isn't the only egg-shaped license plate in the game (nor does it only appear on the police car at the start of the game). Exploring Mombasa Streets this morning I counted up 28 distinct license plate numbers. Here's an alphabetical list of my findings and my theories as to their references:

KAH 343G_____343 Guilty Spark, Monitor of Alpha Halo
KBL 117J_____John-117, Blue Leader
KBM 101S_____Sheila-101, killed in the Battle of Miridem, 2544
KBO 034S_____Samuel-034, Blue One
KBT 087K_____Kelly-087, Blue Two
KDA 458N_____Nicole-458, from Dead or Alive 4
KGL 044A_____Anton-044, Gamma Leader
KGN 062M_____Maria-062, from the Halo Graphic Novel
KGO 008L_____Li-008, Gamma One
KGO 610B
KGT 093G_____Grace-093, Gamma Two
KLB 128Y
KMA 037R_____Randall-037, Missing in Action
KN0 220K_____?, Noble One (?)
KNF 239E_____?, Noble Four/Five
KNF 266J_____?, Noble Four/Five
KNL 259C_____Sierra-259, Noble Leader (?)
KNS 000X_____?, Noble Six/Seven
KNS 344R_____?, Noble Six/Seven
KNT 052J_____?, Noble Two/Three
KNT 293T_____?, Noble Two/Three
KOP 084F_____Fhajad-084, ?
KPD 005J_____James-005, MIA near a Pelican Dropship (?)
KRL 104F_____Fred-104, Red Leader
KVA 1031
KVU 019C
KWA 434K_____Bungie Studios, 434 Kirkland Ave, Kirkland, WA
KWO 081R

I'm almost certain of about half of the explanations. Half of the remaining half I'm fairly confident in, and the final quarter I couldn't come up with any fitting explanation for (except KLB 128Y, which I was CONVINCED references Yasmine from I Love Bees, but I chose not to include it on the list because her number isn't known). Perhaps someone with more knowledge of Bungie can come up with explanations for those that I couldn't get.

Conspicuously, a majority of the numbers refer to Spartans and seemingly allude to their positions in the Battle of Reach. At the same time, there are a LOT of KN_'s, which I connected with the "Noble-One" and "Sierra-259" references in the Halo Reach trailer.

I'm thinking Bungie might be giving us the tiniest of previews of what's to come.

2 Additional Notes:

KN0 220K appears to be K-N-zero, but my explanation interprets it as K-N-Oh. I suspect there is a better explanation for it.

The numbers for some of the spartans aren't known (specifically Sheila, Randall, and James), but the numbers given aren't used by any other spartans so I'm speculating as to their owners.
