Recently, [[Marty O'Donnell]] posted on the Halo.Bungie.Org forums that he wondered "why the transcript (of the reversed message) is still wrong." This seems to indicate that changes must be made to the transcript before it is accurate. | Recently, [[Marty O'Donnell]] posted on the Halo.Bungie.Org forums that he wondered "why the transcript (of the reversed message) is still wrong."

There are many theories as to whom the voice belongs. The most plausible candidate is [[032 Mendicant Bias]], however, other possibilities include a [[Prophet]] or the [[Gravemind]]. When played, it seems to sound like the [[Gravemind]], but when sped up slightly, the voice seems to belong to the [[Prophet of Truth]]. If sped up even more, the voice resembles that of a [[Monitor]]. | There are many theories as to whom the voice belongs.

There are voices that sound like another reversed message in the "infected" part of the [[Mausoleum Suite]], but so far they seem to be indecipherable (too distorted). | There are voices that sound like another reversed message in the "infected" part of the [[Mausoleum Suite]], but so far they seem to be indecipherable (too distorted). | ||

Also in the ''Halo 3'' soundtrack, a reversed message can be heard in the tracks ''[[Gravemind]]'', and ''Dread Intrusion''. The entire message is currently unknown, however, several lines are intelligible. Oddly, the voice during these messages sounds different from Gravemind. It echoes considerably, rendering several lines unknown, it is much deeper in pitch, and multiple other voices can be heard. This could be a reference to multiple Graveminds from the past that speak as one because of inherited knowledge. The first two lines both have [[7]] syllables each, a possible [[7]] reference. | Also in the ''Halo 3'' soundtrack, a reversed message can be heard in the tracks ''[[Gravemind]]'', and ''Dread Intrusion''.
