If Destiny is a child of Jones, I suspect that this has been brewing in Jason's noggin for quite some time. He's been out of the spotlight for a while, and never really was one to look for attention, so following his projects/activities tends to involve a lot of guesswork and blank-filling. If I am not mistaken, Halo 2 was the last project he was a creative lead on. I believe (but could EASILY be wrong) on or about the time of Halo 2, he spent a good deal of time "offloading" his concepts and visions of that universe to others (Staten, McLees, O'Connor, etc.) for them to "carry on" and he then began focusing on a then barely whispered of "mystery project". If you consider Marathon, then Myth, then Oni to be early universe creation efforts and then Halo to be an attempt at a magnum-opus, then perhaps Destiny is Jones second magnum that he was compelled to start once he saw that Halo had enough inertia to be self-sustaining and directed/steered by others who loved/understood the project. Oh well, just an old fan spouting speculation. I certainly don't know anything. In my life, I think that I only spotted Jones once at Pax 06 (he appeared like he was trying to blend in) and have nothing but the same news and sources that the rest of us have. But I don't mind dreaming and wondering.
