  • I'm not sure who to empathise with right now... My gut says Halsey, as it's clear that she doesn't know she's talking to Jul, and even Lasky was a bit of a dick in this episode.

She's speaking to someone outside of his juristiction and possibly a hostile. The brig is probably just a cautionary measure.

  • But how did the essence of one of the composed people from New Phoenix get to Requiem? We'll they bring back the Didact that quickly?

  • The composer is forerunner tech people. Slipspace is there world, The composed humans are likely sent to some sort of buffer system and stored for use as Prometheans.

  • The fact that Jul was the one chatting with Halsey has suprised me, was expecting it to be a Forerunner AI or the Librarian. About time that we have a Covie villian who outsmarts the UNSC. I doubt they will kill Thorne, knowing Jul he would probably use him as a hostage or more likely, take the MJOLNIR, examine it and use that tech for the Sangheili soliers. -blam!- is hitting the fan and something big is coming. @Thompsnow I hope it's the Didact as well, he's going to be pissed off after his defeat.

  • I love Jul, I thought his development in The Thursday War was by far the best thing Traviss has written since Human Weakness and he's a great antagonist. I certainly wasn't expecting him to be the one contacting Halsey, most of me is kind of hoping that the Covies get one over humanity and win this.

[/quote] Yeah, I don't really fault him for having her moved to the brig, it's a decision that makes sense. Palmer though, she just really annoyed me this mission, "yeah, let's point a gun at the little old lady who's completely un-armed and can't do anything" -__- Spartan Ops is really starting to make me dislike Palmer. I want to like her, but the way they keep portraying her :/ Anyways...I've had enough of this Halsey hate-train, they need to seriously -blam!- drop that -blam!- already...

  • Tbf, we have started to see a party that offers some degree of understanding, or at least willing to not be antagonistic towards her. I think we'll be seeing some Palmer development. She's too hateful to not have some kind of turning point.

  • Now if only 343i would start developing missions that have something to do with the excellent cutscenes... [Edited on 12.03.2012 2:33 PM PST]

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] car15 Now if only 343i would start developing missions that have something to do with the excellent cutscenes...[/quote] I seem to recall the last 2 missions being about finding Thorne. Just saying. Certainly not as good as the last 2 episodes, but the story is chugging along. Wasn't expecting it to be Jul contacting Halsey. I was expecting it to be an AI from the Assembly, for some reason. They seemed to have the inside scoop on a lot of stuff even pre-war, so it's not a stretch to think they know about Requiem. (Unless they're all gone now, and I'm pulling this out of my ass) I agree about the Halsey Hate thing (where 343 needs to drop it). But, I can kinda understand the Spartans' fear towards her; as far as they know, she might have some sort of MJOLNIR kill-switch, or something. All they know about her is that she's a war-criminal, and I'm sure ONI has painter her in a much darker light than she is. People have said that she's a "fall guy" for the Spartan Project, in the public eye. (And the Military's eyes too, it seems)
