I liked the idea of Spartan 1.1s, I'm currently writing a fan fic about one.

"I Love Bees" was an alternate-reality game. Through a series of cryptic connections and translations on the website, people unveiled a list of coordinates around the world. They turned out to be pay phones. People started grouping together at these payphones and eventually, a voice actress cast to play a key role in the story of I Love Bees called these pay phones and did a lot of improv to interact with the players and provide them with some very cryptic clues on what would come in the "I Love Bees" audio clips. The main story of I Love Bees takes place in these audio clips. Each different clip is basically a story told from the perspective of onne of the main characters. There were a total of five: Jersey Morelli, Janissary James, Kahmal Zaman, Rani Sobeck, and Colonel Herzog. It all takes place on Earth, and leads up to a climax event that explains how the Covenant actually found Earth. It is an AMAZING listen, and I highly suggest you do. You don't need to read through the website to get the story, either, though it provides some rather interesting information in and of itself. Just keep in mind that it is unknown whether I Love Bees is considered canonical content or not. Frank O'Connor, when part of Bungie, mentioned in a 1UP video episode that I Love Bees was being "embraced as canon", but Joe Staten contradicted this statement in an interview that very same year with HBO's story page, stating that they were in the process of figuring out what was canon and what was not, and ILB was part of that neutrality. So, the details might be utilized or ignored in the future, but again... it is a hell of a lot of fun to listen to, and the voice actors and actresses are amazing professionals that you might recognize if you watch animé or cartoons.

just go to ilovebees.com but I warn you, you wont like what you see.

If you typed "I Love Bees" into Google, it would have sent you the Wikipedia link as the second result. Why are people so lazy?
