Theorizers / SGP: Asklon = NOT AMG Transport Dynamics!
« on: November 13, 2009, 21:37:26 »
I earlier said that Asklon is AMG, but for particular reasons I have changed my mind. And I have more.
....Whoa, that was pretty dramatic. That's not like me at all.
Aaanyway, read it people.

The Reasons

1)As I did say in this topic, I thought that there was nothing weird nothing weird in the change. But later my mind cleard, and I thought: Why?
Why would Bungie see the trouble to change it at all? It would be OK to see just the name AMG instead of Asklon, and see Warthog billboards instead of their "weird" posters (I'll come to that later). I think that this is enough to prove that they are not the exact same company.

2)The picture of AMG Transport Dynamics Building is taken from the ODST Teaser trailer. This proves that AMG and Asklon exist at the same time. Is it possible, since they still share the same logo and all?
You know Nokia, a company (from Finland) that makes cellphones? Before Nokia made phones, it was infact making rubberboots and tires. After it started producing telephones, Nokia split into two parts: the other one still makes rubberboots in the name of Nokia.
So couldn't this have happened with Asklon/AMG too? Perhaps Asklon is the older one, and when they started to make warthogs and stuff, they split in Nokia-style, having the older one to do whatever it did? That would make Asklon an independent company, no?

3)You know the posters Asklon has inside its buildings?

"Destiny awaits"


"December - Infinity"

List

"Destiny" and "Infinity"...that's pretty heavy words for a Transport Dynamics company, no? There is also not a single warthog billboard shown, which proves even more...
The "Destiny awaits" can mean almost anything, srsly. And the list seems just a list of Asklon's bases (some places do not exist now, but they are obviously referring to places in other colonies). But the "December - Infinity"? Well, I have a wild theory...
Remember QTA XII/VI? XII=month=December? Get it? Well, as I have already said, keep your eyes peeled...


...So, that's it. You think it's enough?
Just saying about the last one, I have a good hunch on this...

Report In! / SGP: Sick Phantom
« on: November 09, 2009, 20:19:21 »
Here in Tepec's vid about the dark parts of New Mombasa, in the end is a Bonus clip, (starting around 2:19): The sick phantom.

The phantom, after dropping the Engineer housing pod aka Squid house, seems to first fly into its natural direction. But: after a short, stable flying, it turns right and crashesh the wall. And keeps crashing. After crashing about 40 secs (according to the vid, if no major cutting was made), the Phantom seems spin in way, going large circle down. Instead of sinking, however, the Phantom crashes for the last time, against the roof of a building. It tries to move forward, but gets stuck. It keeps trying to go forvard, and finally after some pushing against the wall, the Phantom is on its "head".
Then something even more interesting happens. The pilot jumps off. Just like the player when your vehicle is in upside-down or in other, jammed position. The Phantom's outline color turns into neutral, seemingly indicating that it is not controlled by anyone (as it is).
The pilot starts to walk forvards, probably because the lack of script (or something...well, you know.).

Nice easter egg, eh? And yes, I think it could just be an easter egg, but hey, just prove me wrong. I think bungie could do something like this, expecially if there is "Pacifist Grunt" in Halo 3. I can't find anything on Halopedia, so I have no clue about it. Tepec, someone, explain?

Theorizers / SGP: QTA XII VI - "Confirmed" mysteries
« on: October 29, 2009, 09:56:13 »
Wonder if some of you regonized that? I have been aware of this for some time already, but since I didn't reach a conclusion and because of my stupidity I didn't post about this to the forum earlier. Sorry. Here it is anyway, You might wanna take a look.

Facts:
In Bungie's this year's PAX panel, in the beginning of the 5th part, Joseph show this pic:


...And the vid

Joseph said:This is a patch we made early up for the team, little secret numbers there, I thought it up for you guys.

Well, that's what I think he said, correct me if I'm wrong.

There is only one reference to QTA XII VI: The ODST Limited edition controller.

As you scroll trough the other pics of the controller, you notice that the QTA text is not the only one being cryptic: It also says "KIKOWANI.0624. / 23:03:28:30 / 82002 383832 727777 / 55.6992.3840"
Fishy, eh?

Theorizes:

QTA XII VI
Quote
Triscuit commented at Joystig:
Typing QTA XII/VI into google brings up some entries about solar energy and surface meteorology in quetta, pakistan and la quinta, california. Just typing in QTA, I found a page listing acronyms, and there are (out of the numerous results) four possibilities, one of which stands out in particular. QTA means Quick Turn Around, Quality Trait Analysis, Qualification Test Article, and lastly (and most importantly) it is a HAM Radio Q signal meaning "disregard". So, "QTA (disregard) XII/VI (12/6 [12�6])". Possible meaning of "disregard 2".

I'm not sure could it mean "disregard 2", since it's pretty far-fetched, I think. But maybe... :P QTA could also be "Question to answer", or:

I just brought the "patch" up in conversation with Apollo earlier this week as I had been reviewing the PAX panel videos.  We kinda-sorta agreed that it may have just been an internal use sort of thing for the developers, where QTA equaled "Quick Turn Around"... which was certainly the case with ODST.  The Roman numerals might just have indicated that they wanted it done by 6/12 (in time for an E3 announcement.)  The date doesn't perfectly fit, but who knows what the schedule was back when they were first developing.

But ya never know!

I first thought that something might happen 12/6, but, well, nothing has happened. :(

KIKOWANI

You remember the loading screen which shows SI inspectin certain areas? In the right-bottom corner, it says "MBARAKI.2552" and the local time of your XBox. The same one is seen in the ODST teaser trailer, so it's some kind of SupreIntendidents camera ID.
So, Kikowani.0624 refers to a camera, and the time next to it is when it when that camera saw/sees something. Maybe.

That's all I can say about it. We have a long road to go, but at least we are surely not tracking ghosts, since this is "proved" to be a "real" mystery. Not that there's anything bad in ghosthunting.

Sooo, Ideas people? I'll post more when I figure more.

Here are the pics that I promised:

Location
The numbers

Sorry I don't have the one with the Engineer. But I did it this time on Normal and it was there, might not want to put that much stock in them.

Also I found a second one during my second run. Of course there was an Engineer there too:

It's Behind that thing
The "code"

Those markings appear on many of the air conditioning units in Kikowani Station.[/quote]

Later on someone said that they are just normal markin's in the air conditioning units in Kikowani station. But hey, any ideas about this?

SGP Task Force: Arkive / SGP: Asklon = AMG Transport Dynamics?
« on: October 24, 2009, 19:27:39 »
While looking at this list john posted here, I found out that they hadn't listed Asklon there. Instead they have AMG Transport Dynamics, which is considered the "real name" of Asklon and vice-versa.
No, there's nothing weird or stupid in it, we know that bungie made some changes to NM after H2. Just wanted to point out that Asklon could also be a normal technics company as many other NM companies are, and not a mystery company that has something to do with "the secret"(As I have always thought[as I still do]).

SGP Task Force: Marty / SGP: The Beeps from Vergil
« on: October 12, 2009, 11:32:04 »
I recall that in the 7th column forum they had talked about some weird noises in the location of the last audio log. Somekind of *pings* or something like that.  The thing in them was that they had some kind of pattern in them, but I can't remember what was it. It was thought that if you shoot the squidhenge stones in that order, maybe something happens. Or something.
I myself don't have XBox anywhere near me (vacation), so I can't check it. Could someone look into this and report here? I'm too lazy busy to check it from Bnet, but someone could dig it up from there?(Seriously, this TV-internet-thingie I have here in my hotel room is NOT suitable for scrolling over 40 pages of text.)
I'm pretty sure this is waaaaaay off course, but maybe this triggers the magic button ColdGlider was hoping for :).
