I feel like the Master Chief is looking right at me. The incident report was bad, but this makes it so much worse.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">SPOILER TALK<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>HFFL:<\/strong> Okay, if you haven&#8217;t listened to the episode yet, then don&#8217;t read further, unless you don&#8217;t mind being spoiled on the info within. Below are my thoughts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Fero&#8230;hmm, that voice. Now that she&#8217;s cleared it up a bit more, does it or does it not sound like Cortana? Maybe Halsey, but I&#8217;m leaning more towards Cortana. Certain speech patterns within if not matching exactly are SO very similar. It would be hard for another voice over actress to replicate that.<\/p>\n<p>As to the Chief barging in on a political conference, killing people and making off with aliens&#8230; While that might seem far fetched, I can actually see this part being real. Allow me to expound on that thought.<\/p>\n<p>IF this is true about Chief, the connection of outer colonies and aliens is something he isn&#8217;t accustomed to. Seemingly siding with the aliens, whomever and whichever they may be also seems odd. However, given Chief&#8217;s &#8216;relationship&#8217; with the Arbiter, it&#8217;s not totally out of the realm. Perhaps Chief&#8217;s knows something that has not yet been revealed to we listeners. What might that be?<\/p>\n<p>If you take a look at recent novels (Kilo-5 trilogy) as well as the Dark Horse comic: Halo Escalation, some\u00a0of the answers are right there before you. In these we learn that ONI is playing both sides of the fence with the remnants of the differing factions of the Sangheilis. That are funding both side in order to have those sides destroy each other. This leaving the victor weak, making it easy for the UNSC to sweep in and mop up. Is that something the UNSC top brass really wants?<\/p>\n<p>So how does Chief play into this? Well, if he knows of this ploy by ONI, then it&#8217;s also likely that if a peace agreement were signed, that deal would go sour quickly due to the hands of ONI intervention (secretively of course). They could easily create a situation where one side attacks the other. This would spark the UNSC to action. As to which alien faction is being courted for peace, that remains to be seen. However, it&#8217;s much more likely to be the Arbiter&#8217;s forces than Jul &#8216;Mdama. This because of (in part) the relationship between the Chief and the Arbiter. If Chief knows of this plan, then what he is doing is stopping another war before it even begins. yes, at the cost of a few humans. But to this end, &#8216;the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few&#8217;. Should this secret plan by ONI then be revealed, which Cortana (er..Fero) seems to indicate will be exposed, ONI may once and for all be taken down. So her statement about sacrificing Chief in the short-term is completely true, while also showing his vidication.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, you know I like to make wild conjecture with these sorts of things. However, in this particular instance, I don&#8217;t think I am far off the mark. At least the viability of my guess is plausible and not far out.<\/p>\n<p>What do you folks think?<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #00ccff;\"><strong>-Sal<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FERO drops a bomb that ripples throughout human-occupied space, calling the Master Chief\u2019s allegiances into question.
