Virgil (the poet, not the Huragok) once said "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts"... My, how history repeats itself... Petra was right: ONI picked Ben because he had no juice in the journalism profession... He was also sloppy... Both of these factors made him the perfect foil to carry out their plans to take down FERO and cover their tracks. I will say this, however: Petra is not sloppy, nor is she merciful... And she knows how to play dirty. ONI destroyed her friend, just to bring down one UCA cell; and they used her to do it... This ''will'' get ugly. Also, any mention of the "Deep Space Anomalies" seems to have dried up & blown away... Given what I believe they represent in H5:G, I suspect that ONI's decision to declare the Chief & his team as AWOL is going to blow up in their faces & provide Petra with a perfect opportunity.

:My impression was that ONI's whole plan from the start was to use Ben for exactly what he ended up doing: hanging out their dirty laundry, just so they could frame him as a conspiracy nut who made it up. It's genius really; ''everyone'' knows the Spartan secrets now, yet no one will every actually believe they're true. It also seems like Sully may have actually been a bit of a good guy after all (which is what I'd expect, given they brought back ''him'', of all people they could have put in that role): "Glassed planets have bad records." Considering how elaborate ONI's schemes are, and how well their people know how to cover their tracks, hide their intentions, and all that, I don't think it's a stretch that Sully was trying to warn Ben about Bliss. I've seen suggestions that the story, with Petra handling it, could be the focus of the upcoming TV series, and whether it turns out to be that or not, it is interesting that they intentionally made her pistol a real-world firearm. Certainly would make live action filming a lot easier. Food for thought, at least. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] ([[User talk:Alex T Snow|talk]]) 16:53, 15 June 2015 (EDT) | |||
