The Superintendent finally broke an agonizingly long 67 day streak of silence last Friday. The subsequent time however the lack of communication lasted only three days. Another mysterious transcript, posted at the magical time of 7:07 PM PDT, appeared yesterday as follows:

could this admiral be Ackerson?

“…you S1 types…”
Think he means Spartan-I’s?

Anyone else who thinks the captain is an ONI Sector 1 spook?

Mmmm… more riddles.

AusQB – yes, yes I do.

I visited Compound Intelligence @ b.net today. They’s got some interesting theories. Spartan 1’s being one of them.

S-1 is a military term for a paper pusher… and the cave he was referring to means his desk

Geez, way to burst my bubble Pikmin.

Ackerson was in the Army, not Navy. Also; Best. UNSC Ship name. EVAR.

UNSC VS. UNICRON
HEAVEN OR HELL
LET’S ROCK!

maybe it’s admiral ackbar.
“our ships can’t repel firepower of that magnitude!”

I’m interested in the parallel to friday’s post which said something about a Prowler class ship which is the vessel of choice for ONI spooks due to its stealth capabilities….

LOL tanaka sagara… Unicron? Excellent reference!
(P.S. The voice actor was Orson Welles. Yeah, that’s right. Orson Welles. It was one of the last things he did before he died. ZOMG! O_o)

he hated the idea that he’d fallen so low, too bad he’ll never know how many people it touched.
