Talk:Iris (alternate reality game)
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Take a look at wikipedia's article on this, is appears to be more up to date than our own. Apparently, the timer on the site has stopped at what are coordinates for Mt. Elgon, and AdjutantReflex may have edited something in to wikipedia's article on the mountain. --ED(talk)(gaming) 00:03, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- I did a little parsing through the wikipedia page on Mt. Elgon, and I don't see any suspicious changes. There is probably somethimg important relating to the mountain -- too convenient -- but the connection doesn't seem to want to make itself visible yet. 68.199.6.138 05:18, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
AdjutantReflex Symbol
Those of you who have seen the Star Image on Server 05...does the symbol seem like a star map to you? Possibly charting the locations of the Halos? --Ghost 04:18, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
PM me
I agree with your map theory, but I don not think it point the location of the halo's but the ark. If you PM me with your Email, I'll send you a document proving my theory

Flood Containment Control
I had an epiphany, i guess you could say, about this image. Not really the numbers contained in it, just the picture itself. OK, notice the innermost cells or bacteria, whatever they may be, most likely the flood. Now think about the title of this image, Flood Containment Control. These "flood" molecules are being "contained" inside this ring, or HALO of other cells or material. This image could perhaps be the inspiration for the creation of the Halos, as they "contain" the flood. Keeping this in mind, the words on the image are in English, but this image came from a Forerunner artifact. Perhaps this is reinforcement of the Human-Forerunner connection, and as said before, the inspiration for the Halos.
Sword
I don't know if it is significant or anything, but on the unlocked server 1, after you click the glyph that makes the little video thing play, if you look carefully in the center of the device behind the video you will see what appears rather clearly to be a sword with hilt and handle on the top and blade extending vertically downward. This might be a reference (albeit passively) to cortana's lines in the trailer, etc. 68.199.6.138 05:18, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
I definately saw a monitor as well. It was somewhere in the middle.
AR symbol/star map theory
OK, i was bored the other night, once again, and i started doing some research on this. I was just reviewing the IRIS campaign's websites, and i figured i would see if anything had changed on the SOTA website. I was searching through it and i had an epiphany. On the "evidence" part of the page, there are pictures of old items that are considered to be given to us by an ancient civilization, and one of those pictures happens to have Stonehenge on it. I then remember that stonehenge's proposed use was astrological; a sort of observatory i guess. I then googled images of stonehenge, and came up with a picture of stonehenge at the summer solstice. Earlier on this month, i heard rumors that if the Transmission Log countdown timer had gone on as it had started out regularly, it would have ended at the Summer Solstice. The picture of stonehenge and the forerunner glyph are remarkably similar, and the picture of the star map is also a huge coincidence, possibly more. Be sure to speak if you have any other theories.
Chirping
Someone should do an analysis of server 01 (5) and see if anything else has changed, but more importantly, that chirping must mean something... so It is probably a good idea to deeply analyze everything that happens within the interval between chirps. Also, I was reading the thread on HBO, and they have come up with a possible connection between the apparant metadata in the data logs and simmilar things, and have attempted to break it down and they think it may be some reference to a location in australia. It just might be a reference to UNSC HIGHCOM, but I doubt it. 68.199.6.138 05:36, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
July 5
I removed the July 5th section as it didn't follow the flow of the rest of the article. I think we should stick to only adding a new section when there are new iris-specific updates. Noting on the lack of updates doesn't count. (I've been reading some speculation, and I wouldn't be surprised if there is something later today -- july 7th -- although that is immaterial) ElFroCampeador 06:52, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
- July 5 was one of a couple days that have been "hinted" as being significant, nonetheless nothing actually happened. And it isn't like a human employee of Bungie told us something might happen on the 5th, it was something the community inferred from the slide, which means it isn't necessarily true anyway.
