Any All Exact 


December 2, 2002

Another detailed analysis of a particular set of comments by 343 Guilty Spark. What is it with that guy?

Mr Yun writes:

"I would conjecture that the other species currently on the installation is responsible for releasing the Flood. They seem most persistant in their attempts to access restricted areas." -Guilty Spark 343

GS says "is". Assuming that the Level Transcript is correct. Multiple species would be "are responsible."

So GS is referring to a single species, but it could be a single species of Covenant. The Prophets are a good bet, especially in light of the recent Halo2 Preview. The Covie religious leaders.

Question, which is proper english (if either...lol):


"I saw the single other species, it seems most persistant in it's attempts to access restricted areas"
"I saw the single other species, they seem most persistant in their attempts to access restricted areas."
"I saw the many other species, it seems most persistant in it's attempts to access restricted areas"
"I saw the many other species, they seem most persistant in their attempts to access restricted areas."


This is relevant because of the second line:

"They seem most persistant in their attempts to access restricted areas."

Does "They" mean the Flood? or the "other species"? Any English majors in here?

Nicely summarized. I suppose we can only be glad that time travel isn't involved in this particular instance. I can't seem to find my copy of Streetmentioner's anywhere...
