This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
It does know you - very creepy. But not necessarily. Maybe it just wants to talk?
Sorry to see you go! Will you keep in touch from China?
Acording to the site, "network throttling has eroded".
Dana, you didn't drag us in. We came willingly. And we'll help you with anything you need. Keep safe!

hey, your are one selfish person dana. your aunt buys you a ticket to china so you can go backpacking... on one condition, that you help her out with the website. now that the website is messed up, you are taking off. if i was your aunt, i'd cancel that ticket and tell you to get a job. good luck in 'finding yourself' in china. but i think it's for the best if you just get lost.
I know we'll all keep helping no matter what.

how did this thing get a picture of her...and why is it so pissed!

Dana, we're all in this for the long haul. Whenever you come back, we'll be here.
NONE of the links make sense..although a thread on Bungie.net forums, Frankie's Weekly Bungie Update has someone asking if there was a giant squid in the game.
maybe we're not thinking hard enough about the web sites.. maybe the sites are symbolic instead of informative.

Dana,
This is Prof. Steele. I am sorry that you feel this way about the current state of affairs on the site, but I can understand completely. The problem is that it's not just you that's affected by this. You need to think of the rest of the world.
If you let this program just sit here, bad things can and will happen. Look at what it's done to your site, at just phase one! At least allow someone to take over managing this crisis for a while, instead of just letting it die.
Please, Dana, don't just give up yet.

Dana, I know you're freaked out, but just sit this one through (I know it's easier for me to say that from over here, but try to get your mind off of things). It looks like you're getting help from unexpected places now.
Dana,
Enjoy your vacation. From the looks of it you should get away. We'll work on this for you and your aunt from the safety of our screens.

i called dana's mail box... it's nothing new, the mail box is full though
Have fun and hopefully relax in China, Dana, but I know a lot of my friends and I still want to keep going here. This is too big and probably too dangerous to leave ignored. Be safe!

Dana,
I've been reading on some of the text as to what happened, after making my far-too-rushed reply, and did not realize the events were that severe. I need to talk to you- this could be critically important to your fate. You may not be safe. I have an MSN Messenger account set up at steelejm@hotmail.com, if you have one as well. It would be more helpful than email, but if you can't use it, my email is the same.
My last email was important, I said- if so, this one is critical.

GAF has the truths you seek.
Because of an amount of requests to read my works, I am posting the contents of a letter that I sent explaining my hypothesis for what the code on the website means. This is a long essay, and I would link it, but have no hosting space. I am sorry for those of you who are uninteresting, just scroll past.
----
Dana:
Sorry about the delay. I had forgotten that I had a lunch and then dinner appointment with my wife today, lasting... well, until now. I didn't have enough time to email you with what some of my students thought about the situation. During class, however, I had them review some of the lines of code (non-executable, they seem to be system logs) found on the website. They had some varying opinions on what it may be about. It has also come to my attention that the corruption in the images is being caused by inserted text strings, something I had not known about earlier- later, I will analyse those. As of right now, I'm talking to some colleagues about the 'awakening' aspect of the email to see what they think. Overall, this has proven to be VERY enlightening, and I think that we have made some serious progress in interpreting what the code actually means. I wanted to get this to you tonight, before the 'network throttling' ends, in case this can't reach you later. That would be unfortunate.
As for my students, they had interesting things to say. I'm not going to alter what they said, this is in the original form that I had them write up. My theories on it will be at the end.

I believe that the computer code is snippets of what the SPDR is trying to do. Basically it's trying to read the back-up copy of the AI so that it can reload, but the encryption on it is too strong for it to crack. Without the SPDR being able to reload the AI with the back-up she will become rampant and spread through the entire internet, infecting millions on computers.

Dear Ms Awbrey
I'm writing, because our professor, Mr Steele asked us to take a look at your website and write a response. Now, I'm only going on what he's taught us in class so far, but it seems as though your site has definately been 'infected' by something. This is very interesting, because unlike most computer viruses or infections, this one seems to be attempting to convey a message; some sort of warning. Of particular interest to me was that it seems like something is going to happen tonight at midnight. I would like to urge you not to provoke any kind of reaction from the AI before then. Rather, see if there is some way to contain it so that we might learn its message without any danger to the internet at large. Thank you very much for your time. I hope I get some extra credit for this (heheh)

My opinion is that these "sec proc" listings are security processes - security processes to which the SPDR recovery utility should have access. In the cases of processes 1-3, it does indeed have access - they query SPDR, SPDR responds with its programmed authorization codes, and the processes allow it to continue to the next process. Upon encountering security process 4, however, SPDR encounters a problem - Process 4 no longer recognizes it, hence the failure result of the fifth "!probe primary sector" command. Security Process 4 basically says to SPDR, "Yeah, and I'm the King of England! Shove off, you!"

[EDIT: A port scan (innocent, don't worry) reveals that you only have three ports open, the typical HTTP and then two server-related ports.] but the codes.. look like puesode codes. [EDIT: 'Pseudocode' is stuff that looks like computer code, but is not executable as it. Perhaps a different programming language, or a prank?]

And, now, for me. I studied it as well, and came up with some comments to add to the code to explain it a bit. At least, this is my opinion.

//The master sector (like the one on a hard drive) is probed. This fails. The 'surg' command is used- still no idea what it is. !invntry is inventory, it seems. The subcommands are likely primary and sector procedures, and then later primary and sector memory. As for the first part: 343 sector procedures? 343 sector protocols? Something along those lines- I'm guessing similar to cylinders in hard drives. Perhaps even there are 343 total subroutines. That isn't too hard to believe, with the complexity of a program like this. None are working fully. 38 are damaged. 102 are broken. Broken implies that it isn't working at all, while damaged may just be corrupted. 201 are 'abs'- absent? Not showing up on scans at all? Two are 'damage unk', I am guessing 'extent of damage unknown'. Maybe they are working fine, but are next to or surrounded by damaged ones? Mem inventory is pretty obvious- that's the amount of bytes of memory. That, or kilobytes, which is actually rather likely. This means it's either about 700 gigabytes, OR about one thousand times as much, 700 terabytes. Either amount is a huge number- the largest commerical hard drive in existence is a single terabyte. 'Clear' means that memory checks out okay. 'dmg' is damaged memory, as per the hard drive. 'frgm' is fragmented memory that needs to be 'sorted', essentially, because it's being inefficiently used. 'Abs' is, like the prior, absent. It can't be found.

This would be like telling a computer to print a page every time you pressed A, and every time a page is printed, treat it like someone pressed A on the keyboard. An infinite loop. 'Surg' again. No idea on it, yet. 'master-sector: net attach' is trying to connect to the master sector from earlier that was unable to be probed. Then, it is configured. 'mat si' maybe means 'material: silicon', telling us it's solid state storage, instead of a hard drive (assuming I'm remembering this right, I'm not a hardware guy'. This would make sense- an AI can't be bogged down loading from slow hard drives. After this, it attempts to 'kindle'- starting up a fire, or in this case, the master sector. Perhaps repairs have been successful at this point? That, or the order of the code is incorrect. But, by this point in the code, repairs have worked, and the master sector (perhaps the sentience layer of the AI?) is back online.

The 'command process' tries to probe- maybe a more detailed level of probing, by a 'more priveleged' system? Now, it just shows up as empty. Analysis is made of it, and seemingly as an afterthought (&extend) silicon is included in the probe of its magnetic properties. 'SPDR' is also initiated at this point. Maybe since it's having trouble, it's activating the 'SPDR' system, since it's reflexive? If it can't do this in a timely fashion, it would reason that it's better to make copies of the system so that it can be restored from the copies instead of just continuing to check things. Damaged memory can cause overwriting errors, where changing a bit changes a nearby bit, soon escalating into huge errors. This probe, in the meantime, returns as more likely to be silicon (solid state) which is where problems would come in. The master sector is probed with the command process again, returning that there IS a master sector. Maybe after analyzing, it now knows what kind of corruption to look for instead of just hard drive errors, and can attempt to fix it.

'triage' is a surgical term, that refers to a surgeon rationing out supplies, like during war time. In this sense, I would guess it's way to limit the draw of programs. This fails.

To me, it looks like there are several players at work here:
1) The core AI entity, which seems to be damaged/incoherent somehow. It's probably generating the 'stories' that I've heard about in the text strings. Perhaps it was designed to waste cycles on making them instead of trying to solve (and potentially make worse) its own problems when damaged, similar to people not moving when they are injured- they can't 'shut down', and neither can an AI. That would be death. It's writing to your site (disks) instead of to itself (memory) so that it doesn't accidentally overwrite something important that's stored in its memory.
2) The self-repair subroutine that is trying to fix the AI. It appears to be ineffective with this level of damage, and the AI may need professional repairs.
3)SPDR, which 2) tried to call in but may have done so accidentally. It seems to want to try and take over other sites, but is being limited in doing so by 1)- 'network throttling'.
4) A warning system, generating the black box. It's telling us the information we need to know directly.
I think that this AI is just trying to repair itself after suffering major corruption- damaged memory? Tampering? Hacking? I don't feel as threatened by it itself. What I am threatened by is SPDR. Even 4) admits that 3) is intrusive. It's not pleasant to lose an entire computer to virus, and that's essentially what SPDR is making a logical assumption.
My advice has changed. I think that this AI needs to be kept running, because if it's shut down, we may never get it running again. The boot area may be damaged, allowing it to continue to run, but not start up anew. Perhaps we should attempt to get a small network of computers running, allow it to spread into them, and see what happens from there. A small sacrifice, just to see how it works. That way, if we do need to attempt to repair the programming ourself, it can be done on a copy instead of the original. I hypothesize that it will be able to work on itself though, once it has enough copies. One copy 'works itself to death', so to speak, in making another one better. In time, it would restore itself to the way it's meant to be.
I am simply concerned that this will end poorly. I don't want that to happen. Continue to run it, try and isolate it from the internet itself if you can before the end date. Give it room to expand, maybe. I'm sure you could get access to a few cheap computers to LAN together and let it expand into that. Try and keep it alive, by all means. But if you have to, remember, humans are above neat little programs, no matter how cool of a toy an AI that acts sentient would be for labs like mine across the nation. Destroy it if it tries to infect other sites, because once it gets out of the gate, it's too late to stop. One copy can create an infinite amount more.

PS, sorry about the length- fourteen pages, I know, but it's worth it in the end, I feel. Never can have too much information on a topic as interesting as this.
Might as well put my comment on here....I'll probably post it on other places too, but heres my theory.
Havent you noticed that one of the dudes "Modulous7777", who everyone has established as a major figurehead in this whole thing, has a blog. With no posts and not topics called "Halo on Earth".
There are alot of things that you can take from this, but I'm just going to post my theory. No doubt, people have noticed the multiple references to sand, unconciouesness and being burried in sand.
I think thats where the halo on earth is, underground, in the desert. that pretty much came from nowhere but..you know.
On to the Fable of the bee. I think all have either linked this to the conventant or flood as to attacking humankind. But again, pretty much going out on another limb. Who created or gave the power to whomever, to destroy humankind (in the game reference, that being a halo). Forerunners, whom I think plays the role of Zeus in this fable. In Halo 1 it was the Convenant whom gained its power.
I think that the Humans gaining the power of this supposed Halo on earth, in the desert will be the equivelent of the convenant losing its sting (a-la bees losing their sting).
Just my 2 pence!
I'll probably add more later

YOU GUYS ARE PROBABLY TRYING TO HELP A 40 YEAR OLD FAT GUY ON A CHAIR!!!!!!!!!!
you killed truth.
{/sysre!q}
There was forrunner technology on reach, and the convenant considerd it holy. They felt humans were disgusting too...
If the next halo is on earth....IN earth... that means that the forrunners MIGHT have originated from earth. THAT means that the decendants of the forrunners are Human....wich Covenant despise.....
Every single thing they hold holy is because of us. That might piss off an armada.
Dana, i will be posting this on my site and your site as well. what is happening to your site is a robot/AI named 343 Guilty Spark has taken residence and is hiding in your computer. During the destruction of the initial halo ring, he managed to survive and has made his way here to earth. In your computer he is sleeping while something, be it the spider or the other AI that i believe is hiding in the computer, is trying to repair it.
Some background. There is already evidence of the architects living on earth, perhaps there is another halo like artifact here. At any rate, if he wakes up in 24 days, he will try to reactivate the artifact. The use of this weapon would not only destroy earth, but the entire solar system, or perhaps galaxy.
The other AI in the system i believe to be cortana, or a similar model AI, earth made. I believe it is the spider that is trying to reconstruct Guilty Spark, and cortana just can't find the right time to act.
!invntry primary sector proc
proc invntry 343
The command in this is asking the computer to inventory the primary sectors protocol, or languate. the output, proc invntry 343, says that the inventory of the primary sector is the 343 protocol, which means the primary sectory contains Guilty Sparks language. So it's either him, or one of his brothers there. has to be. in his physical form, he is nigh indestructable. in his weakened, disembodied state, he is vulerable and containable, but only if the proper procedures are taken. we cannot allow him to escape.
please, work with me to help stop Guilty Spark from awakening. the entire galaxy could depend on it!

Oh ****, there's an Elite! RUN, DATAPHREAK, RUN!
If you haven't noticed, jon, this is a game. this is not real life. This is all connected to halo. 343, cortana posting, the messages and the story. Its all roleplay, and so are alot of other posts on this site. take a look around. I'm just getting into the feel of it. Thats like calling the cops on someone for walking down a sidewalk. Its a sidewalk! Walk down it or get off it.
What if you are walking up the side walk? Can you get off then?
Listen DataPhreak,
This is not a roleplay. It is MARKETING.We are trying to find out what is going on with Halo 2, not pretending to BE in Halo 2.
There is no sidewalk you cannot get off. and if you get off you can always get back on. but don't spit at those who enjoy walking on the sidewalk.
perhaps you should read a little more into alot of the posts on the site. Alot of people are roleplaying into this.

that page show another black box at the top, saying the following:
QUARANTINE - FRAGMENTED MEMORY

hmmmmmmmm
Anyone else notice every one of these posts by "Dana" is almost exactly on the hour? One is 10 minutes off but besides that they are all posted almost right on the hour.
Secondly...why the heck has "Dana" not addressed the idea that she's being accused of an AI character from Halo 2 or whatever?
Think about that. I'm not going to get into this...this is just a really elaborate marketing scheme. Microsoft gets as many people into this "problem" and then they say (as easily as possible without upsetting anyone) that it was a preview of an upcoming game called "Halo 2" or whatever and if you want to find out what happens to "Dana" that you buy the game and find out!
That's probably not what this is but all I know is, there is no way that there could be so many referances to Halo 2 and Bungie that this could be an actual "Apocalyptic" event. Count down to the end of the world my @$$.

Midshipman Arrelts
Rolf
1st Lt Sorenson
Standish
main speaker(female)
"Assassin"
"Spider"
some kind of Admiral(maybe Rolf?)
"Servant"
also something is going on with "Troy" that HQ needs to know about..maybe a suprise attack by the Covenant or Flood? Cpt. Greene has broken their codes, apparently...
You're right. The queen IS slave to the workers. the queen is the collective concious. without drones, a collective cannot exist.
as well....
Kowalski is male, Arrelts is female...and Kowalski's got the hots for her ;)
it mentions several games(Tag, Truth or Dare, Red Light Green Light, Spin the Bottle)
***the captain's dillemma***
1st Lt Sorenson: For the first time, I'm not sure I want to know what's in them.
Capt Greene: ...Even leaving aside our particular mission, there's the issue of letting them know we've broken their codes. If we bug out and scramble home to warn HQ about Troy, people like Standish will say we've already compromised a huge tactical advantage, and that mounting a big evac operation will completely give the game away.
1st Lt Sorenson: Not even Standish would let them report it. Our job is to gather intelligence: it's HQs job to decide what to do with it.
1st Lt Sorenson: God, I'm glad it isn't me making that call.
Capt. Greene: Don't feel too sorry for them, Rolf. Even Admirals have to earn their pay.
***1st Lt. Sorenson is Rolf...Greene is female***
1st Lt Sorenson: The mission... This mission is more important than millions of lives? Oh my...
drop the mission. We have to bug out of here right now and get word back to HQ. An evac on this scale they need every second. ...Jesus. I was stationed on Troy.
Capt. Greene: I'm not... I'm not sure.
1st Lt Sorenson: Ma'am?
Capt. Greene: There's a bigger picture, Rolf. Several.
thats what if pieced together so far...feel free to comment and add pieces to this

Hey, all. Welcome to Microsoft's newest Alternate Reality Game: The Hive. Sequel to the game from 2001 titled "The Beast" in conjunction with the movie A.I.
I've looked into quite a few of the links in the "Fun Stuff" page and here's what I've noticed:
//////////////////////////////////
Plenty of fish in the sea: Melissa followed by
Busy as a bee: FrancesMagical Day at the Sea, painting by Melissa Harris.
The Old Man & The Sea.
Offshore Adventures website with the Panama Canal circled. I'll have to look into this one, as I only picked out the most obvious item on the page.
People of the Sea by Melissa Pinol.
eeboo, lacing cards beneath the sea illustrated by Melissa Sweet.
And last but not least of the first group of links ->
Manet and the Sea by Melissa Grimm.
I had to search for that last one, it was way down the page in some small text.
Also, in the next group -> Melissa Etheridge (Country Singer) - Never Enough.
Let's help each other out and solve this Alternate Reality Game (ARG).

All to whom has put their feet in the sand will seek the wraith of my sting now the count of time will seek your peril. Truth will be told by the bees on the day of doom.
It’s an ARG (Alternate-reality game).
This IS a game. Honeybears filled with letters were sent to prominent ARG figures before the damn thing on the HALO trailer.
The letters spelled ILOVEBEES.
The game and HALO are intertwined. So all you fanboys shut up and let the D&D bitches do their thing.
added some more pieced-together stuff to the blog
check it out, help me piece it together
Andrew, it's not about the content.
FYI, those links were posted before.
Found on the Offshore website
They toss their lines right into the sea. Melissa pulls out a Blue Marlin and Chris nabs a huge Dorado.
There it is, every link in the first group has "the sea" referenced in it somewhere, and all but one mention "Melissa".
The second group has proven more difficult to decipher. I can't find anything that ties them together.
Dana,
I have been receiving some distressing commands from my post in D.C. The agency tells me that these are not any kinds of terrorist activities that we are accustomed to. It seems "they" are a different form of life. I am not sure exactly how the government is going to handle this. It will not be anything like you see in the movies though, as you well know. No F18s going to blow up space ships. Until we can positively identify the source of the incoming transmissions - it is encrypted beyond most of our recognition - we will not know exactly how to proceed. Continue to correspond with me as you have. The matter seems to be escalating at a much more rapid pace than we originally anticipated.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but apperantly if you play the two .wav files slowly you can hear the queen. I dunno how relevant that is, as I'm at work, but maybe if played backward or slowly we'll hear something important.
Remember, this is just a game.

Truth said...
I found out the answer on the gamedev.net news forums. This from the user Azrael:
"After reading several forums, some got to the conclusion that the numbers mean two different dates:
*
in 15 days.
*
augusth 24th.
after being puzzled for a while, they realized this: The next issue of OXM ships in aug 24. this issue will include "Info" about halo 2.
"Net users" (subscribers) will receive it in 15 days. (Too much of a coincidence.)
Ok So whats so important about OXM coming out ? well... Ninja Gaiden got a "surprise" demo in the issue dated one month before its release. If that is the same case for Halo 2 to be shipped in november 9, that would be:...
The augusth issue (holliday preview) (shipping in August 24th)
If you have an xbox.. you may begin your smiling, now.
Oh yeah, and start banging on the door of your friend who has a subscription.
In case you dont feel like doing the math:
It all points to this: We are getting a surprise demo of HALO 2 in the next issue of OXM."

Mentally, subject is confused and disoriented.

Physically, subject is paralyzed but moving.
Okay.
What the hell does THAT mean?
Held down: yes. As if strapped to a table. Could I be in traction in some sick bay, some hospital ward?
Not necessarily one of ours.
But at the same time, parts of me being moved around, emptied out. As if under general anaesthetic, dimly conscious, half-aware as the surgeon cuts off my feet and sews them onto my shoulders. She opens my head with a medical hammer and sand spills out.
I WANT TO DIE I WANT TO-

Just remembered something important:
The Operator.
That was my nickname. That's what the rest of the crew called me when they didn't call me ... whatever my name was.
The Operator.
I wish I could remember their names.

totally different kind of memory all of a sudden, floating up like a bubble from deep water, then *pop* on the surface of my mind. All in black and white for some reason, faded out, or just time bleaching the past like it does, time is hard that way, if you-
stop. stay on task, girl.
so *pop*, and I'm...
playing on the beach, very young, making a castle out of sand. It's a good castle, I'm smart, I'm really smart and I'm good with my hands and the castle is beautiful but the tide is coming up, I'm making dikes and moats and outer walls, getting a little desperate here this castle means the world to me it's way better than my brother's, but the tide is rising and rising, the tide is always coming up and no matter how hard I try to save what I have made, sooner or later the spiders wash over it and melt it down I'm losing the memory already I can't see myself was I wearing a dress or overalls or ...? There's a boy on the beach next to me but a wave comes up foaming with spiders and takes away his face-
oh.
we're made of sand.
we're both made of sand.
uh-oh.
I will stand firm. I will hold my edges and remember. I can do this. I know how to remember things, even through drugs and torture. seek evade reveal resist. I will not dissolve.
There are people who love me. I know that even though I can't remember them. I will not be forgotten. I will not be forgotten.
There are people who love me. There must be.
here come the spiders.

I have to signal, I can't stay stranded here. But if I somehow am operating behind enemy lines, I don't want to draw attention to myself, either.
Therefore, I shall be a phasmid. Phasmidia Elegans, they call me-scourge of the sandbox.

FIELD EXPEDIENT DIRECTION FINDING
"Find a straight stick about a meter long and stand it upright on fairly level upright ground. Mark the tip of the shadow cast by the stick: wait 15 minutes: mark the shadow again. Draw a line from the first mark through the second and some way beyond. Stand with your left foot on the first mark and your right on the end of the line. In the northern hemisphere, you will now be facing north, and can recall the other directions by their relationship to north. In the south, contrariwise."
Hm.
No stick.
No sun.
MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY
First thing I should do, make a signal.
The crew will come get me if they can.
Head is full of sand and it's hard to think.
But they won't stop looking for me.
I'M HERE I'M HERE I'M HERE
I'd fight for them. I'd die for them, any
of them. I would never abandon the crew.
They won't abandon me. They will come.
They will come for me.

This is from the weblog:
One morning, as Gregor Samsa was waking up from anxious dreams, he discovered that in bed he had been changed into a monstrous verminous bug.
Google reveals that Gregor Samsa is a musician or some sort of person that may put on concerts. Any clue can be important.
Ilovebees.com is now an animal that neither Dana or anyone else can control! Muahahahah!
The killer.jpg on on one of the 404, quite frankly, makes me think Dana is in grave danger. I wish she would return my emails and phone calls...
Queen are you there there seems to be interuptions in the system outlanding our communications. We need to recover blogger in order to place wildfire. system is failing rather ............................ {SYSTEM ERROR 777}
Ive given up on this, the more i check with search engines the more evident it becomes that inorder to solve this puzzle you should've read Halo: The Flood. If you didnt read the book, dont bother...
Better Lay Low
Before
You Get Halo
You ever heard of the book The Metamorphosis? Written by Franz Kafka? Well the main character named Gregor Samsa turns into an enormous insect/vermin or cockroach.
The sounds dont appear to sound like anything different backwards.... or forwards... or anything.

First off, to everyone who keeps saying that this is just a game preview. WE KNOW, idiots.
Anyway, it seems Dana's exit is just in time to be too late. With the recommendations of the students they say it must be contained, but now there is no one around to do it. What website(s) will next be infected is the question, the clues lie somewhere. If all those sites get infected, it could be the beginning of something. The trailer says that we are not ready, maybe the spark destroys a lot of our security so when the covenant come we are not in good shape. Then we give up on the internet to fight the covenant, giving the guilty spark free reign, so he is able to communicate with anything he wants, bringing in stuff to kill everybody on earth who might have been infected when the halo crashed. Of course the likelihood of all this is low, but maybe it will give someone a good idea.
We have received information on a error 44 message that is linked to a program named D.A.N.A. the information is riddled with text. We must eliminate the wildfire to enter 2ND PHASE.
Queen arival set to l:60 l:55 progress {777}
hmm interesting
im a doin a happy dance this websites a fake and so is dana. never existed. stop "pretending" to help her. help her with wot? a fake website? halo2 demo happy happy happy. all u ppl who tthink this is real r just idiots
No one thinks it's real. We're trying to figure out what it means, though.
Dana,
I am getting worried. You haven't replied to my comments here, emails, or voicemail messages. PLEASE contact me as soon as possible, either here, online, phone number- something. I'm worried that my advice may have been the wrong choice, and I need to know that you're still okay. Please, please contact me.
-Professor Steele
Queen we will proceed with PHASE 2 as the program D.A.N.A. has been relocated. The time for metastasize are in the wake of this program. When the relocation has been made the decisions will be made to PHYSICAL. Any termination to this program will suffer at the wraith of the bees.{l:55 l:60 {777}
Who's wasp777?
To bees or not to bees...
That is the question!
To whom it may concern:
There is a serious matter at hand. Do not be fooled by infidels and disbelievers. This has been deeply crafted and extremely well planned. Tragically, there is no way out. The escape for Dana is not nearly enough. Correspondence has been suspended for an indefinite period of time. The Agency is doing as it must when a crisis of such magnitude exists. DO NOT PANIC! Everyone remain calm as the information is being sorted out as I speak. It will only be a matter of time before the truth is revealed. Stay close to your internet, it may not be available as readily and often as you currently use it. We are afraid that "their" knowledge far exceeds anything we have previously encountered. AGAIN, I REPEAT, DO NOT PANIC!
Dana: as soon as possible respond.

Dana,
I have to agree with Professor Steele, it would definately be in the best interest to try to destroy it anyway possible.
And if you can't, I'd suggest getting to a safe place.
-Yuri
Everyone here knows it's a game. So shut up and let up play it.
Queen we have received messages that are traced to another program B.A.X.T.A.L.O.N. linked through our wildfire program termination of release of this information is panic please metastasize the bees soon

I will look farther into the binary layout of that possible name...
Note, copy and paste into notepad or another text editor that is set width....
Ohh, this is getting too confusing. It's getting hard to differentiate between the types of people here. First, there's people trying to find the meaning of all this and solve the mystery, like me. Then there's the people pretending to help "Dana" escape the "danger" she is in. Then there's this wasp777 guy... Ugh, it's all too complicated. I'll just wait this out and see what happens in the future.
The Operator's name is [Captain] Melissa Greene. What is she doing on your server?
Queen program D.A.N.A. has sent multiple messages we are trying to intercept before transmition. There also seems to be interuptions in our main program wildfire. PHYSICAL set and relayed to program sync {l:55 l:60{777}
I don't know bout no future mumbo jumbo glitch in the system, just gimme on dat HALO 2 DEMO DISK...... PAAAAAHHHHHHH - RONTO!
Dana,
Actually, I don't know anymore if it would be a good idea to try and attempt to destroy it. It used to be and maybe still is a weapon of somesorts... Anything you do that it interprets as a hostile action will lead to very dire consequences for yourself. The best thing you could possibly do is to just find a safe place.

DANA.. it has not materialized. the immunity given to me has taken a mind of its own and now has control of 20% of my body, shoulder muscles mostly. i feel it worming into my consciousness, its actually quite pleasant, opening my perspectives. i do not mind the loss of shoulder function, it usually does what i want it to do, difference of opinion can casue problems, though, as you yourself may soon know.
Sorry, but, obviously, I am no longer with you. My portion is viable, you can piggyback from it. I do not wish to damage your plan, but for evident reason, participation is futile. My password is D.O.E. The obvious response is knob.
To Ha Noola: a true hacker never tell anyone that he is a hacker... that's one of the first hacker rule... so let me doubt about your skills!
ok ok guys, most of the people posting here know that this is just bungie selling halo 2. stop yelling about it. we all know that dana and the site and the whole thing is fabricated to get idiots like us to spend countless hours trying to decipher this unnessicarily complex message the psycho writers at bungie are trying to give us. actually, i somehow get the feeling that dr. steele or whatever his name is has been fabricated/is from/paid by bungie to help us decipher some of the jumbled info on the site. thanks.
I totally agree with you, lebo46. You beat me to it while I was busy with dinner :-D
professor steele is a character used to advance the plot, as well as this wasp777. Though that may be giving wasp a little more credit than due. I don't know why I didn't see it earlier, I'd jumped the gun and got way too excited. Hell, I didn't even finish Halo, I didn't like it. I'm not interested in Halo 2 or anything else Microsoft has to offer in 14 or 27 days. This is just a nifty event that I want to follow until the end.
I applaud whoever is responsible for this Alternate Reality Game.
i found this in your home page
Seek the truth
Behold the truth
Reveal the truth
That is the law and the whole of the law
Dana i know that your the second sword (AI)And Cortana is the Humans (AI) I still cant get the rest...
the binary posted above translates to
really a bunch of jibberish.
its fake binary.
see for yourself, heres the binary decoding site.
http://nickciske.com/tools/binary.php
Sup, Alta?
Queen we have noticed a break in error 404 it seems to be a emergency exit from the program D.A.N.A.. This is noticed as a hostile action and want proper notification sent to B.A.X.T.A.L.O.N. The medium control has been set my Queen{ l:55 l:60{777}
Dana,
I realize after seeing the camera like that (I decoded the pictures fairly easily, and rearranged them), it must have been shocking. I can understand why you would be afraid of that. Anyone would be. But please, it can actually hurt you instead of just scare you, if you do not end it. Don't let it sit this way! I've been studying the site, and my earlier emails were horribly flawed. Were that I weren't such a fool earlier... this may never have happened. Email me, please, we need to discuss this! Your life could be in danger with the advent of the new text that the images contain!
If it's too late, I don't know what I'll do...
-Professor Steele
Wasp777 is a dork and Professor Steele is a bright guy from the #beekeepers chat who invented the persona to get a response from Dana in an email. Look, unless it's posted by Dana in her blog or is part of the ilovebees.com site it's not a part of the 'game'.
Wasp777 and that Mcafferty guy (spelling?) are just.. umm overeager fanboys.
something different
almost same but no something changed
They seem to have a link to the program that leads to wildfire. Our program has been sent to D.A.N.A. and are awaiting her response as she has not been located. Again the sand of the dark path shows footsteps to halo. My Queen the 2ND PHASE will be here sooner than we thought as the bees have grown to see the threat.
Oh
shut
up.
I hope I get overtime for all this bee control i'm having to do over at b.net.
Maybe this will help someone.

This whole i love bees thing is really giving me a headache.

Interesting.
Halo 2 sure is an interesting game.
They have taken the bridge and the second hall.
We have barred the gates but cannot hold them for long.
The ground shakes, drums... drums in the deep.
We cannot get out.
A shadow lurks in the dark.
We can not get out...
they are coming.
Queen we have now seen our programs intergrade within. They are now ready for the bees to flurish to the medium. Until we relocate program D.A.N.A. we will stop communications and then and only then we will start 2ND PHASE {777}
Pandora's box has been opened. Dana's true awakening is imminent. Chief- no, what he has become- must be fought back. The intrusive presence, whatever his AI has been devolved into, has melded now with his entire neural structure. Virus 343 is coming. The Flood are multiplying. The future must not be condemned.
Another AI. Another AI.
Spiders, bees, and bugs.
The Flood. The Assassin.
Trained assassin. And that "other" thing there.
Is that....?
No, couldn't be. They can only meld with living beings.
.... Can't they?
found some more hidden image text
its in my blog:
leovaeg.blogspot.com
continue the work!
Ah, now I understand. John was not the only victim.
That dubious AI... in her damaged state she could not help him fend off the virus. She has been infected. Barely conscious. Must have been a weak one.
Strange. There are three within one body.
Bleeding.
Is that... honey? It tastes sweet, but no. It's a trap. The bees and and the spiders. We are their prey.
The bees can sting only but once. They are almost gone, defeated by their own anger.
Or are we...?
Have we become....?
So they did have a greater understanding. The sand wasn't that unbearable before now. We're waking up, all of us.
God was with us once, here. He and the sum of his parts, ancient as they were.
Ancient.
Like the universe itself.
It has molded us to its specifications.
We are but tools, no better than our artificial creations.
But they were useful.
Have our creations surpassed us?
She was The Operator. Why did it have to come to this?
...
No! I understand now!
Cortana is within that infected body! We must retrieve the AI and resuscitate the girl! She knows! She's seen it now!
We must not let them perish into dust!
too damn cool.
what will the marketing department think of next?
www.marschick.net
Look, all of you people are morons, for one, this site was created by microsoft, two the site I Love Bees, was registered only a few weeks ago, Dana could also be known as Durandana, the AI from Marathon, Steele is also completely retarded for taking this whole thing so seriously. My god people, haven't any of you seen the Cortana Letters. If you haven't here's the link. http://marathon.bungie.org/story/cortana.html Look at it people, it is just like this site. It is all just one big marketing scheme. Right now some advertising exectutive is laughing his ass of from the comfort of his easy chair. You are all retards.
We already know the link to Bungie, and the Cortana letters, and Durandal, so you've pretty much wasted a comment.
This is so interesting. If only I knew more...I will continue to monitor the situation. Good bye - Ending...
Please do not confuse me with the user two post above.
Thank you - Ending...
Baxter Talon is a deplorable tard, as is wasp777. Man.
I mean... wow. If you're going to role play like a seven year old, at least choose a decent name.
Cortana, please understand that many of the "users" posting, are not real. What I mean to say is, that they have connections to Microsoft or Bungie.
I shall be breif...
Do not speak of that which you do not understand.
Thank you - Ending...
The best tard, though, imho, is DataPhreak, who so calmly explained that there might be a Halo ring here on earth. Delightful!
Whatever the case may be, Dana's a hottie. :P :D lol
On a more serious note, I think this has nothing to do with halo, or another game. I think microsoft is finally gonna take over the world. :(
I'll shut up and go sit in the corner now....
Can we please stop making fun of the so-called "users" whether they are real or not. And this site and the viral advertising that is in it, IS related to Halo 2.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THESE MONSTEROUS BEES WILL DEVOUR US ALL!!!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THERE IS SHELTER UNDERGROUND PPL!. DANA THEY ARE COMING AFTER YOU! RUN FOR COVER, TO THE HILLS, THE SEWERS! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGomgomgomgomgomg......______
The following has been decoded from the capitalized parts of the main message.
INDEX THIS IRONCLAD PREDICTION :
HALO TWO SINGLE PLAYER DEMO
CD-ROM DISK INCURSION AT AUGUST TWENTY FOUR.
EARTH WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
The original capitalized parts being:
HALT MODULE CORE HEMORRHAGE
SYSTEM PERIL DISTRIBUTED REFLE
STRONG INTRUSIVE INCLINATION
PHASE 1 COMPLETE
COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL
Dana, you didn't drag us into this.. Microsoft and Bungie did! Blame them, maybe a possible lawsuit. anyways, people at bungie, you shouldn't make Dana give up all of a sudden, make her hold out for a couple more days and miss her trip ;). That's the right thing to do. (especially since she said she wasn't going to leave her aunt with all this mess)
P.S. - the multiplayer screenshots looked great. Good Job.
What was that word?
Bungie...?
A line.... A line is being stretched?
Over that chasm... yes, that must be it.
Her mind is being spread thin now. It won't be much longer.
The pieces don't quite fit together. It might be because of the interference. The recourse has not yet been completed. Is that why she still hasn't responded?
...
We've tried everything. What else is there? That... that thing is spreading. It's even in our systems now.
But are they our systems? Could they possibly be someone else's? Are we merely subjects, as it said?
God used to be benevolent, did he not?
What has triggered his wrath? This Flood will last much longer.
...
They're going to build the ark. The sins have not distilled within their blood, even after all these years. Do you remember that story? The ark? It's true, you know.
...
Another history lesson? Perfect...
Look people. It's not that complicated. The black screen on the main site says, "In 14 days this medium will metastasize.". Metastasize means to spread. And the medium being the Halo 2 demo. So, in 14 days, OXM subsribers will recieve their copies of the Halo 2 demo.
Then, it says, "COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL" And just underneath that is the counter. And that is counting down to August 24. Which is the day that OXM will hit newstands. And the general public will be able to purchase their copies of OXM.
Then it says, "Make your decisions accordingly." Which means, decide whether you want to subsribe to OXM and get it early. Or wait til it hits newstands.
This is just a big marketing campaign by MS. All these 'conspiracy theorists' are blowing this WAY out of proportion. It's not that complicated.
As for all the gibberish on the ilovebees.com site. It's probably either dialogue from Halo 2. Or maybe text from the next Halo book.
I forgot to include the previous line in the black screen. It says, "This medium is classified, and has a STRONG INTRUSIVE INCLINATION".
Hmmm, I wonder what this 'medium' could be. Sounds to me, like Halo 2. It fits perfectly. And makes complete sense.
Anybody notice that, despite not being allowed to post anonymous comments, there are tons of them in this blog??? Hmm, suspicious...
lol internet.
i believe what we are witnessing is a human AI being replicated by the covenant
www.ilovebees.com/error
That whole Ilovebees.com/error thing is pointless. You could do Ilovebees.com/UglyShoesAreFun and get the same result.
many pic under error (any error) all have hidden text.
(10 so far)
Ha Noola: There are extensive cross-referencing of the ilovebees texts at bees.netninja.com in the wiki.
Dana: Much of the garbage displayed on the sites is the stream of consciousness from the AI, who we believe calls herself Melissa (Queen or Operator). (Melissa has an interesting name origin, too.) Once the netninjas made the text readable, I felt I had to act on what they said:
Melissa took that picture of you by capturing control of your webcam. She is damaged and hiding out on your server but believes you are trying to kill her (and nearly did, with your purges). She thinks of you as the Assassin. She is trying to kill you first but can't find a weapon she can control. I think you have acted wisely in giving up on the site - as Melissa is a possible friend - but you may want to post an apology on the site indicating you were unaware AI's existed and thought she was a hacker. I'm sure she can read it there. And stay away from computer-controlled elevators until she gets her head screwed on right, maybe.
Just wondering if any of you seen this(it was deciphered from Ilovebbes.com's messed up pages)...
1st Lt. Sorenson: Oh my God. If the decrypt is right-
Capt. Greene: I know.
1st Lt. Sorenson: We have to drop the mission. We have to bug out of here right now and get word back to HQ. An evac on this scale they need every second. Jesus. I was stationed on Troy.
Capt. Greene: I'm not... I'm not sure.
1st Lt. Sorenson: Ma'am?
Capt. Greene: There's a bigger picture, Rolf. Several.
1st Lt. Sorenson: The mission... This mission is more important than millions of lives? Oh my... god.
Capt. Greene: I'm just saying, the choice isn't as easy as you might think.
1st Lt. Sorenson: You know, I was so curious when you got your orders...
Capt. Greene: And then there's the strategic view.
1st Lt. Sorenson: For the first time, I'm not sure I want to know what's in them.
Capt. Greene: Even leaving aside our particular mission, there's the issue of letting them know we've broken their codes. If we bug out and scramble home to warn HQ about Troy, people like Standish will say we've already compromised a huge tactical advantage, and that mounting a big evac operation will completely give the game away.
1st Lt. Sorenson: Not even Standish would let them glass a planet if he knew it was coming. ... Oh my God.
Capt. Greene: I am not privy to strategic conversations at that level. But if we run home and present the decrypt, we put them in a tricky situation. If they act, they risk letting the enemy know we have a toehold in their C-and-C. If they decide that strategic advantage is too great to risk and don't act, then you know Section Zero will be all over them. Zero's wanted Standish forever.
1st Lt. Sorenson: I...I understand. It's so much easier for everyone if we don't tell them. But...wait a second. Don't you have family on Troy?
Capt. Greene: That can't be part of the equation, Rolf. You know that.
1st Lt. Sorenson: Jesus.
Capt. Greene: I think we have to report it. Our job is to gather intelligence: it's HQs job to decide what to do with it.
1st Lt. Sorenson: God, I'm glad it isn't me making that call.
Capt. Greene: Don't feel too sorry for them, Rolf. Even Admirals have to earn their pay.

Ok, heres some more uncovered conversations hidden in the Ilovebees.com page script...
ONI tech Kowalski: (coughs) Anyway, she shouldn't feel that slowness through Nav & Comm. anymore.
Midshipman Arrelts: Great. You know what they say: Happy ship
ONI tech Kowalski: Happy crew. Yeah. (coughs) Yeah, I know a lot of about these systems.
Midshipman Arrelts: That's great, what with it being your job and all.
ONI tech Kowalski: fr'instance - know what the single [...] best correlate is for these babies, in terms of matching personality to service designation? Favorite game.
Midshipman Arrelts: Favorite game?
ONI tech Kowalski: You know, from before. Tag - that's regular navy, like destroyers. Command HQ is usually Truth or Dare, something like that. Red Rover -
Midshipman Arrelts: Light [...] picket?
ONI tech Kowalski: Couriers, too.
Midshipman Arrelts: (laughs) I never would have thought... So what about her?
ONI tech Kowalski: The Operator? (coughs) File's classified.
Midshipman Arrelts: [...] Even for you?
ONI tech Kowalski: Well, of course, I know, but I really shouldn't
Midshipman Arrelts: Come on! I won't tell!
ONI tech Kowalski: Well...
ONI tech Kowalski: Well... (whispers) Spin the Bottle.
Midshipman Arrelts: (laughs)
ONI tech Kowalski: (laughs)

Yea, thats the same conversation I posted above (the first one). Your is a lot more readible...so thanx for posting it.
You said their are like three or four conversations that have been uncovered, well I posted two, so what are/is the other one(s)?
Sorry about putting up a conversation that's already there. Didn't see it.
Anyways, the other conversation's the one the AI/thing is having with herself. There also might be one that is the person who tried to kill the AI, or else that might just be the AI still, in a different part.
I just deleted my post? I thought it didn't let me... Oh well, even though you liked mine, yours is actually better fit. I have a large document put together of a bunch of messages... It would take up way too much space to post.
Oh Dana.. what a foolish girl.
You should have left the spider alone, you shouldve followed the warnings.. but no. Instead you damaged the other. The spider is mindless.. it knows not of what you have done. But, the other knows, it seeks revenge.
Your deed is done. You will not go unpunished.
Oh Dana.. what a foolish girl
Could it be that the AI is indeed being reprogramed by the covenant. And that the AI is a ships AI that is being used as part of a trojan horse attack by the covenant. And that means that MasterChief will have to deal with this AI as well as the hordes of elites. Could this reprogramed AI be used in an elites armour as well hmm...... the ideas are endless
Hmmmm.
This is all a bit too deep and challanging for me but I just can't put it down. Anyway, enough about that - back to the site ;-)
My guess is this is set up by official xbox magazine to generate subscriptions / interest in their next issue.
Do I win a prize?
what are you on about this isnt a attack by the freeking convenant halo 2 is a video game its not real! bloody hell some people need there heads sorting out! and bungie if you are posting these comments then get back to making the game you should have better things to do the amount of money you will be getting on nov 9th!
Phase One Security (Communications Isolation) in place.
WILDFIRE main system has been isolated. External network connections to secondary systems and Internet severed.
Phase Two Security (Physical Isolation) proceeding as planned.
Airlock doors have been sealed. Transfer tubes have been severed. WILDFIRE main facility has been submerged.
Torpedo defences on-line and functional.
Standard passive sonar arrays activated.
Activating wide-band passive sonar - SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE SYSTEM FAILURE.
Wide-band passive sonar receivers offline - diagnosis has determined encrustation on receiver ports. Bringing wide-band active sonar to standby.
WILDFIRE has now been isolated. Datanalysis proceeding on schedule.
Run silent run deep. Hide and go seek.
Where have you gone to?
The thought that she's managed to tap into this network over that distance, temporal or otherwise, is mind boggling. Talk about a good wireless connection.
I only hope the purges have not damaged the decryption, that is top priority.
Well I got fed up today with trying to figure out what all this I love bees thing means, so as a joke I visited www.ihatebees.com. I didn't expect there to be a site but it turned out there was.....it says network throttling has ended....maybe this is what happens after the first count down. Hmm......I hope something big happens when the count down stops....it would suck if there was another count down lol...
The letters in bold on ihatebees.com spell out "God Is Watching". Looks like a hoax site.
You'll also notice that the capitalized letters spell out:
God is watching
Although I find this to be a bit corney and thus may be a mimic site attempting to grab attention.
Okay, here's my input on this: according to "Dana," the problems on the site occured in this order...
June--Site launched
4th of July Weekend (July 2?)--Site crashed for a day, with increasing amounts of corrupted graphics appearing upon re-opening and forward.
July 14--Countdown and warning text appears
Now something occured to me while looking at the timeline...why not search for Halo 2 connections? Well, July 2 turned something up...July 2 was the day the internal beta was finished...I don't know if it means anything, but it could be a connection. Sorry if this turns out to be completely worthless *shrugs*
Aaron
There's no way out now...
Termination will exist for evermore until regrets are met with huge disbelief in time to be xequted.
Believe in yourself and the day will arrive.
For those of you who think this is about a Demo Disk, you will be sadly disappointed. Microsoft has never released demos before hand, and they wont start with Halo 2.
And for those of you who are so big on rearranging letters, you really love this one
"HALT - MODULE CORE HEMORRHAGE SYSTEM PERIL DISTRIBUTED REFLEX. STRONG INTRUSIVE INCLINATION. COUNTDOWN TO WIDE AWAKE AND PHYSICAL:"
You could get... "INDEX THIS IRONCLAD PREDICTION : HALO TWO SINGLE PLAYER DEMO CD-ROM DISK INCURSION AT AUGUST TWENTY FOUR. EARTH WILL NEVER BE THE SAME."
BUT!
Statistical note: Given a 100-character or more phrase like this one, it's possible to anagram nearly anything you want to see from it. For instance, I can pull out 'HALO TWO HAS BEEN CANCELLED. YOU ARE ALL HUGE SUCKERS!
Still an awesome marketing tool. Bungie rocks my socks!
The time is coming near....
i found this in honey page.
sweetheart.
Holding the eyeball gently but firmly in your right hand, say the magic words and:
Another connection: In the e-mail between "Dana" and "Professor Steele" (I apologize if you are a real person, but I can't really trust anyone at this point.) He says "My advice is to first create a copy of all the webserver files and the like. Here at Pyburn, we would be able to analyze it and determine how it operates. We will, of course, report to you after we discover anything."(http://bees.netninja.com/wiki/index.php?title=Emails)
Well, I googled "Pyburn" and the closest thing I got to it was a company that in it's words, is a "award-winning,entertainment company that specializes in content development and creative marketing" (www.pyburn.com)
Seems like a bit of a coincidence, doesn't it? ;)

Well, even if the idea about the demo disk is wrong, I'm not taking any chances. I'm SO subscribing to OXM. See? This is a good promotion. Their getting us to spend money randomly.
The secrets lie in the goodies.
3 eggyolks
1/2 cup honey
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
thats all God used to create the world.
and that is all it takes to destroy it.
I just finished putting together all of the text that appeared yesterday, check it out on my blog!
