In Response To: Re: Captain Obvious Moment: (Dagoonite)


: You know, I noticed this while I was doing my research for Bzzt, but I
: thought it was old news. It raises all sorts of interesting theories. One
: theory that I had was that it might not be the first time that the item in
: question was encountered, but when a working example was captured for
: study. That left too many holes as well, so I abandoned it.

Hmm...
The thing is, the Phantom was implied to have been encountered long before Halo 3: ODST with Mickey's line "It's been years since I've run the simulations". That line still wouldn't make sense if the UNSC waited until it captured a working model.
And if they waited until they captured a weapon to give it a designation, then there could be months or even years before the troops have a model number for it.

So, yeah, there's a few holes in there like you said.

My questions are, what filled the Spectre's role before the Spectre was introduced?

: Still, it's nice to see that I'm not completely insane. (Yet.)

You're not insane until the voices start talking with British accents. German accents, if you're from the UK.

: Who knew an unhealthy fascination with the world wars (and especially trench
: warfare) would come in so handy?

Heh. No kidding.
Though I still have yet to understand how the US handles its catalog system. I'm beginning to suspect that there's an old IBM random number generator stored away in the Pentagon for that very purpose.
