On August 10, a list of GPS coordinates with times were added to the site's Links page, along with a countdown to "Axons go hot."<ref>[http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5476 '''Unfiction:''' ''<nowiki>[PUZZLE]</nowiki> AXONS GO HOT - Coordinates'']</ref> With the exception of one leading to the Pacific Ocean, all of the coordinates led to payphones. On August 24, the countdown ended as it reached the first set time. People who answered the payphones (the "[[axons]]") at the scheduled times spoke to a recording of the [[Melissa (AI)|AI]] and were asked basic questions about the character. If answered correctly, an [[I Love Bees Axon Clips|audio clip]] would be released and a number would be added to a counter on the Website. The audio clips, when threaded together, formed an audio drama about characters in the ''Halo'' universe. As the number reached 777, the AI, now played by a voice actor instead of a recording, began interacting with players through the payphones.<ref>[http://ilovebees.blogspot.com/2004/09/axon-spike-rendezvous.html '''I Love Bees:''' ''axon spike rendezvous'']</ref> | On August 10, a list of GPS coordinates with times were added to the site's Links page, along with a countdown to "Axons go hot."<ref>[http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5476 '''Unfiction:''' ''<nowiki>[PUZZLE]</nowiki> AXONS GO HOT - Coordinates'']</ref> With the exception of one leading to the Pacific Ocean, all of the coordinates led to payphones.

The AI would ask for their name, rank, and proof that they were [[human]].

After the game was over, players were invited to go on a "training mission," which was actually a chance to play ''Halo 2'' multiplayer before its release. Various sites around America were used to host the event, including movie theaters and malls. Players were told to say the phrase "The Operator left a message for me." to gain access to the event. Unfortunately, several of the hosts were unaware of ''i love bees'' and thought it was just a ''Halo 2'' event, disappointing many fans. At each event, players were given DVDs containing all of the ''i love bees'' audio files, as well as deleted material and screenshots from the site. | After the game was over, players were invited to go on a "training mission," which was actually a chance to play ''Halo 2'' multiplayer before its release.
