Re: Looked great, in bad need of fog, Terminal a j

In Response To: Re: Looked great, in bad need of fog, Terminal a j (Avateur)


: It is a good point! Too bad this Terminal (and possibly the others) require
: people to have to make up good points, explanations, theories, or work
: arounds to all of these possible gaps and issues. See my problem with the
: writing and execution of trying to force these into a game like H1? They
: don't fit in well at all because they were never originally intended to be
: there, and apparently are being used more as a way to hint at Halo 4 (if
: those interviews higher up on the forum are any indication). So again, as
: far as in-game canon is concerned, I just don't see it. :P

I've been thinking about this terminal, and I think the message got sent, but not received. Could the PoA's comms simply not pick up the kind of transmission 343GS was sending? Could it not have even been recognized as an attempt to communicate? Was Sparky even sending a message in English (or other languages possibly spoken by the PoA's crew)? After all, until until the day the PoA arrived, he in all likelihood didn't know any modern human languages. We are talking about someone who has obviously never encountered the UNSC before, much less any humans at all in the last 100,000 years of isolation. So, message sent, but either not received or received but not understood for whatever reason.

As for terminals like the one we saw several weeks ago, it could be chalked up as Sparks's musings to himself. They could just be treated as some extra bonus that, while canon in the Halo universe, might not necessarily be treated as part of the actual Halo 1 story proper. Or something like that.
