The text boxes contain one chat log between two people and the other appears to be a log of a data query. Surrounding the boxes are pictures and maps of Operation: KALEIDOSCOPE and other smaller text area's relating to the Operation. One image shows Johnson firing an [[M99 Special Application Scoped Rifle|M99 "Stanchion"]] from a table, while the other picture shows his target. | ||

Looking at the date | Looking at the date we see that the events are dated, September 12, 2552. From the Halo novel, ''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', we know that about this time, on the UNSC Gettysburg, Dr. Halsey is talking to [[John-117]] and Sgt. Johnson about how Johnson survived the Flood. On pg 243 Halsey talks about how Johnson wasn’t infected by the [[Flood]] because he developed [[Boren's Syndrome]] on [[Paris IV]]. | ||
This brings up an interesting point as in the conversation mike44236 says, ''Thanks and yes. The query was intercepted with the Paris/BS spoof. But what am I supposed to do now?'' '''Paris/BS spoof'''? Paris/BS spoof could mean the method used to bring Halsey's data query to mike44236 's attention or it could mean something quite different. | This brings up an interesting point as in the conversation mike44236 says, ''Thanks and yes.

[http://halo.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=8143418 Other users] have examined the same data and come to the conclusion that Boren's Syndrome is a hoax. This conclusion is based on the '''Paris/BS spoof''', whose name under this theory refers to Paris IV and Boren's Syndrome, the former being the location where Johnson supposedly contracted the disorder. No media currently mentions Johnson suffering from any of the other symptoms of the disorder, so it is entirely possible that he doesn't have it at all. | [http://halo.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=8143418 Other users] have examined the same data and come to the conclusion that Boren's Syndrome is a hoax.

He then runs a command so that the next time that Halsey tries to retrieve the file ('''ON NEXT GET'''), the server instead sends her '''P_BS48789-20114-AJ.txt''' -- the '''P'''aris/'''B'''oren's '''S'''yndrome spoof, whose filename is identical to that of the original file save for the "P_BS" prepended to it. | ||
