hmmm…and ive read cryptum and “codename:surgeon” isnt in the book…maybe one of the other books considering that 343 said that they want to make halo 4 intertwine with the halo lore of the books?

This was talked about in an earlier thread. To my knowledge, the past bulletins don’t have any but keep an eye out for any future ones.

Here’s the messages from the file.

> PLNB PRIORITY TRANSMISSION [CLASSIFIED]
> ENCRYPTION CODE: [CLASSIFIED]
> PUBLIC KEY: N/A
> FROM: CODENAME SURGEON
> TO: CODENAME COALMINER
> CLASSIFICATION: ELEVENTH HOUR [1/5]
> SUBJECT: AFTERMATH
> /FILE EXTRACTION-RECONSTITUTION COMPLETE/
> /START FILE/
> Decades from now, when historians evaluate the war, what will they say about us? Will they claim that our victory was ultimately fruitless? That it failed to secure a lasting peace, or worse, that it was only a prelude to far greater horrors that now lay ahead?
> My hope – OUR HOPE – is that history would instead view this war as a catalyst. That the last thirty years were a crucible, a threshing floor for our species, sifting out our fears and frailties. And that ultimately it made us stronger and more vigilant in the end, fully prepared for whatever will come next. After all, what good is struggle if there is no change? What good is a fire if the sword is not made stronger?
> Attached are four reports accounting the major contingency structures our species currently faces in the wake of the war. Please evaluate them closely. Their outcomes will dictate how history views us, or if history even views us at all.
> Xenomorphic element [2/5]
> Martial element [3/5]
> Provenancial element [4/5]
> Primogeniture element [5/5]
> As Machiavelli once said: “the Romans, foreseeing troubles, dealt with them at once, and, even to avoid a war, would not let them come to a head, for they knew that war is not to be avoided, but is only put off to the advantage of others.”
> Likewise, we must deal with these issues head-on, without fear and without hesitation. We can afford no other stance.

I’m leaning toward what the person below me stated.
That this is a message about a pivotal moment in Human history.
When these events are taking place I’m not sure,
though it’s most likely near/during the time frame of Halo 4.

This also says it’s the first of 5 messages.

> Eleventh Hour [1/5]

There are 4 more bulletins between now and November 6th.
I believe the final message will either be revealed early on the 6th or more likely on the 7th to keep the importance of the number seven relevant.

The eleventh hour is a bible reference, it refers to the time in which even late in someones life they can be accepted into the kingdom of Heaven and in the second coming of Christ.

This gave me tears, this secret message is eerily creepy. Along with elements that the game contains which tie into religion.

Then we are given 4 elements,

the first is xenomorphic element - this means alien

the second is the martial element - warlike

the third is provenance element - the beginning of time or our existence

the fourth is primogeniture element - firstborns, birthrights, or in other words refers to the people born into wealth or power.

This secret message, may be telling us of an end of the world scenario. In which the second coming of Christ happens, and many bad things are to come.

This is a very deep message. They state that we all hope that our history is known, if there is a history. Meaning, all of us, dead?

That is my best description / analysis / decoding of the message.

> The eleventh hour is a bible reference, it refers to the time in which even late in someones life they can be accepted into the kingdom of Heaven and in the second coming of Christ.

This second coming could be the return of John (S-117)
the Forerunners or even possibly the Precursors.

1st. Could refer to the Forerunners/Storm/Precursors presence.

2nd. Obviously there’s another war taking place now.

3rd. Either the beginning of the Human race (creation)
or a possible “new” beginning for Humanity.

4th. Could mean the Human/Forerunner “right” to the galaxy,
or possibly asking who was created first.

Reclamation, this is the way the world ends…

I’m guessing that the four elements mentioned, will be explained in greater detail in the next four bulletins/messages.

> Xenomorphic element: 10-17-2012
> Martial element: 10-24-2012
