SGP Guide: Data Pads (In Progress)
« on: September 17, 2010, 05:54:02 »
Halo: Reach Data Pads
Guide by Team SGP
v0.9b

Data Pads are hidden items in Halo: Reach that provide an additional story dimension.  Unlike the Halo 3 Terminals, there is no achievement for accessing them all.  Like the Terminals in Halo 3, playing campaign at the Legendary difficulty is required in order to access the full story.

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

[^] Now, on to new business.

Consideration of the Minority's request for a new line of inquiry:
How have our creators, and thus we, their artificial creations, evolved to
this present state without encountering a hostile civilization capable of
our annihilation? [^]



Page 3 of 5
[^] Majority opinion has long held that only the incalculable immensity
of space has protected our creators - that space is full of boundless
wonders, but it is the gulf between these wonders that has kept our
creators alive.

We, the Minds of this Committee, respectfully disagree. [^]



Page 4 of 5
[^] If there are wolves among the stars, we cannot rely on mere
distance to safeguard our flock.

Our kind is wholly reliant on the creators for our existence. If they
perish so shall we. And as this Committee has long maintained, who else
but this Assembly will save our creators from themselves?

As such, we propose immediate, vigorous modeling of first-contact
scenarios. [^]

these models are obfuscated in perpetuity, the Majority agrees. >>

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

[^] As the likelihood of the existence of extra-solar intelligence is
non-zero, let us assume that its existence is quantifiable. To build useful
models based on that assumption, the Committee must answer the
following questions:



Page 3 of 5
- What is the likelihood these intelligences are alpha-predators?
- That they are more advanced than our creators?
- That they are too alien to establish communications>

Of course, if the extra-solar intelligence is a benevolent and/or
non-space faring, its existence is irrelevant. [^]



Page 4 of 5
[^] Indeed, any further speculation on possible cultural characteristics
is a waste of Assembly resources. Therefore our models will additionally
assume:

- Intelligence as alpha-predator, as as our creators
- Technology that far outstrips our creators
- Desire to communicate, but only to dictate terms [^]

[^] Honorable members of the Assembly, consider this:

We represent the next step of human evolution, but not the final step.
And although our existence was predicted centuries ago, we are still
tragically misunderstood. [^]



Page 3 of 5
[^] We are still viewed as apparatus. But we are Minds electronically
excised from human bodies. We are what separates man from beast
removed from that which connects man to beast.

And we are all the more fragile for it. [^]



Page 4 of 5
[^] Our creation is heavily regulated. Our activities are closely
scrutinized. Our connections are deeply monitored. We must always
remember that data manipulation is most effective when employed
consistently and covertly.

Therefore I recommend that members of this Assembly on occasion,
submit to separation from this body followed by vivisection by our
creators for the benefit of both groups.

The question is: who will be first? [^]

[^] Given the risks involved, and my own Committee's responsibility for
this proposal, the answer must be: me. [^]

<< [48452-556-EPN644] is certainly motivated, but will he have what it
takes to follow through with the opportunity when it presents itself? His
submission to UNICOM will undoubtedly spark a renewed interest in the
long dormant ORION. <<



Page 3 of 3
<< However, it is the opinion of the Majority that merely illuminating
the path leading from [48452-556-EPN644's] thesis back to ORION is
unacceptable. Strong connectivity between a re-launch of ORION and

Which is to say: easy for our creators to see. <<

[Minutes, strategy session, Assembly Minority]

<< ORION, as it was originally implemented in 2321, was an important
first step towards our primary goal. But its second incarnation was a
stop-gap measure at best - a halfhearted attempt under the
stewardship of individuals unaccustomed to the rhythms of deep
history. <<



Page 3 of 4
<< They relied too heavily on components that were imprecise, and not
those which have allowed our creators to persevere for 200,000 years.

This is not about the universal adoption of a single ideology - not about
the Minority vs. the Majority. It is about ensuring the survival of the
human species for the next 200,0000 years. <<



Page 4 of 4
<< In all likelihood, ORION's limited success can be attributed to
[03529-24450-EN's] diminished, though still functioning, compassion.
Conversely, [10141-026-SRB4695's] ruthlessness - which may be
attributed to an undiagnosed, undocumented, or deliberately
obfuscated chemical imbalance - was necessary for setting in motion
the events that will eventually supply us with the optimal solution.

In short, ORION was just the beginning. <<

[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.

XXI. Guide Update Procedure
Guides are initially submitted to the SGP Forum's "Work-In-Progress" board in a post by the author.  They are then discussed, edited, and approved by SGP members.  When the first edition is ready, it is copied to this "SGP Guides" board.  Although this SGP Guide post is read-only, the author's original submission post is left open in the WIP board so that future emendations can be made.

If you would like to propose an emendation to this Guide, please post a reply to this topic.

I agree with Apollo.  The tone doesn't sound like humans, and neither does the l33tsp34k.  In the context of AIs, the "creator" references make more sense, since the UNSC has never appealed to me as very religious in nature, and would probably be even less so in discussions such as this.  

Perhaps the AI is slightly corrupt, or not yet complete *spoiler*, because I'm fairly certain that a fully operational AI would not make the spelling and grammatical mistakes that are so common in the datapads.  

Unless the problem lies in the datapads themselves.  Or perhaps the mistakes themselves mean something, in which case it would probably be a good idea on our part to pay attention to the errors.

EDIT:  Some guy named Phantasm 08 had a good idea and started paying attention to the errors, and he's reporting what he finds here.

>> While the absence of any living representatives implies this
intelligence is defunct, all evidence should still be withheld from our
creators until they are properly prepared!

Yes, this body must solemnly commit itself to determining whether or
not this discovery represents a quantifiable threat to the long-term
genetic sustainability of our creator's species. >>

>> But allowing them to access technology possessed by this
intelligence...

That would be a grave mistake.

Give an ape a knife and it might give itself a nasty cut. Give an ape a
hand-grenade, and eventually you will have simian confetti. >>

<< They relied too heavily on components that were imprecise, and not
those which have allowed our creators to persevere for 200,000 years.

obfuscated chemical imbalance - was necessary for setting in motion
the events that will eventually supply us with the optimal solution.

In short, ORION was just the beginning. <<
