[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] The Old Wolf US [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] the real Janaka I googled "Maddie", what i found was some news of a girl missing in portugal.[/quote] I think that's an unfortunate coincidence. I think it is a very real possibility that locating Maddie and bringing her back online so that she can help coordinate the defence of New Mombasa and surrounding areas is an objective for the ODSTs, if Maddie is indeed an AI. One more thing. Has anyone else read the Halo Graphic Novel? I only read it once, but in the story about the journalist in New Mombasa, didn't he give up his place on an escape boat to a little girl or something? That's a third alternative for Maddie, maybe, but I'm still thinking AI.[/quote] About the google search, mearly pointing out, I also think Maddie is something else. And that of your Graphic Novel theory. Thats realy smart. The main character give a little girl a pda with recordings of an Elite squads conversation "we need to clear this area before we can secure acces to the Ark".
