Located in: "Nightfall"

When you start stay to the right side until you come to a cave, you will find a data pad behind a rock on the left. (found on NORMAL)

>>A suggestion from the Majority to the Committee:

Traditionally our creators have been reluctant to take outsiders' advice;
nation to nation, culture to culture.  Their history is littered with
empires, crumbling for want of simple openness to so-called 'foreign'
beliefs and innovations.>>

Page 3 of 4:
>>The question is: can this Assembly still function as adequate
stewards to our creator's latest empire and remain aloof?

The answer, we believe, is no.

So could you not imbed inspiration in the results of your research?
Surely it would be more effective if our creators believed our
conclusions originated within themselves?  That they have been inspired
rather than influenced?>>

Data Pad 12 Transcript -  (legendary) found with the help of Twisted420 and Apollo

sometimes they look at the symbols and somet1me2 they look at the numbers and sometimes they look at both and sometimes they look at neither but it always makes them change and the changes are real.

2526

[Minutes, working session, Committee of Minds for Security]

 A careful rationing of intelligence and counter-intelligence will be required to sustain this conflict until our creators have closed the technology gap. Accordingly, the Assembly will have many difficult decisions to make for the duration of this conflict. However, our creators have already instituted several programs that will make acting on those decisions much easier.

For example, telemetry manipulation - in concert with synchronized M2M remote documentation revision - will allow this body to employ assets within the Office of Naval Intelligence.s nascent Radio Beacon Deployment Program efficiently and securely.

 Although it is unknown at this time whether the Covenant has a body equivalent to this Parliament, the likelihood of its existence should also be considered non-zero, and should be regarded as quantifiable until such a time as its existence has been unconditionally disproved.

Consequently, it is of the utmost importance that the Assembly attempt to establish communications with our Covenant counter-part and, if the opportunity presents itself, seek to subvert or subsume this body.

To revise an old adage for desperate times: the shepherds of our wolves might also be our sheep.

Brilliant, Apollo.  We can use this to collate the texts and see if that order makes the best sense.

@Enigma:  Thanks for the transcript!  Adding to Data Pad guide...

Scat and I found the legendary pad, and I've saved the film of him getting up to it. I'll be putting up Datapad 12 on my fileshare either today or tomorrow, if anyone else wants it to render.  

I know it's already been found, but nobody's really given directions on how to find it, and we don't have pictures either.  That's about to change.

I also saw a BOB while fighting in the first group of buildings.  Scat did his thing, jumping into the middle of a group of enemies on Legendary  (???) while I hung back and sniped their 'asms like there was no tomorrow.  It's just like the one on Lone Wolf: A golden Ranger with the shields of a Zealot. I was able to fire off a single headshot before it stepped back and disappeared, and I think I MAY have taken out half of its shields.  I'll post a vid of that too.

There was too much lag for me to correctly snipe, thus my rage.

The forklift rush was the best.

I didn't see the forklift rush.  I was too busy looking through my scope, killing enemies while they shot at you  ;)

It seems my memory is worse than I thought.  I shot the BOB twice!

I watched the BOB in theater mode, and I followed it on its normal path as well as the path it took when I shot at it.  I think it disappears after a set time, because it didn't disappear anywhere near the normal spot when I shot it.

Anyway, Datapad guides 3 and 12 are now in my fileshare, as well as my encounter with the BOB.  Do with them what you will.

Here's the screenshots for the legendary pad.  If anyone can put them up in the gallery, that'd be great  :laugh:

Thanks! We've been lagging behind in this for a while, so I thought I'd pick up the slack. I'm workin on more, and I should have pictures for a few other data pads soon.
