Honestly, sounds like something Lucifer himself would say, if he were ACTUALLY repentent. Just my two cents worth.--[[User:Energy Sword|Energy Sword]] 00:18, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

==Playing around with pitch and such==
I went and cropped the Reversed Message out of <i>Destroyer's Invocation</i> and reversed the whole sequence, then raised the pitch between 150% and 165%.  Really got my attention -- it sounds like a Monitor's voice!  More evidence that it's Mendicant Bias?
Also, I think the posted transcript of the <i>Dread Intrusion</i> message is wrong.  The first two lines sound right, but I think the last two lines should be, "The Earth will fall; strike together/So forth shall go all life."  I haven't the faintest idea what that's supposed to mean, but I played around with it a bit in Audition and that's what I came up with. ~Guest
* Well, I'm not sure of percent, but playing around an Audacity, I up-ed the pitch a bit, and, IMO, it sounds disturbingly like John, especially the way whoever it is says certain words. If someone wants me to, I'll export what I've got and upload it to a site for downloading. ~HaloGuru13

I think this means that Cortana is going to do something in Halo 3 that she will regret and will wander alone through time trying to stop it. --File:Final Goji.jpg|40px]] [[User:Lordofmonsterisland| <font color="green">Lordofmonsterisland]]</font>[[User talk:Lordofmonsterisland| <font color="green">"Roar to me"</font>]] 21:57, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

:I do not know if this means anything, but... John-117 is observed for the Spartan-II program by Dr. Halsey and Keyes when he is six years old in the year 2517. This would make his year of birth either 2510 or 2511 (his entry on this wikia has it at 2511, I don't know if this is stated anywhere or if it is concluded by the year he was observed for the program, if he was born after September he was born in 2510). Assuming it's 2510, he is born precisely 3,000 years after the Battle of Marathon, which occurred in 490 B.C. Even if it's 2511, that makes it 3,001 years. Marathon also occured in the month of September. [[User:Aiakides|Aiakides]] 08:15, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

This actually makes the most sense on the matter of the Halo 2 one.

- I have the weird feeling that these messages are meant to be said by somebody beyond Cortana or Chief or Gravemind, and even if it is the most possible not even Mendicant Bias. Maybe even beyond the Forerunners. I mean that something demigod said this messages and I think that these messages will have somehow divine meaning. Something really old might have said this. And I wouldn't be suprised - Bungie created Forerunners, they named Chief John-117 (which has biblical meaning). Not even to mention that Bungie came with these messages said by Cortana and those messages from the OST. That's my opinion. [[User:JirkaV|JirkaV]] 0:37, 24 February 2008

I most definitely believe that the following is the proper transcription:
"Side by side, we march as one,
Shoulders set, blades aligned,
Let our footfalls strike together,
So our foes shall know our might."
It would only make sense for the Gravemind to speak in such a manor. [[User:A Type-46 ISV|A Type-46 ISV]] ([[User talk:A Type-46 ISV|talk]]) 17:53, September 20, 2024 (EDT)
== Reverted ==
I reverted this article to a slightly better version, which includes the message from Halo 2. However, I still think this article needs a bit of work, and if anyone can help with that, it would be appreciated.--[[User:72.141.217.254|72.141.217.254]] 18:14, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

== Noticed something ==
I was listening to the reversed message and noticed that the text here is not what I hear when I listen to the message. I think I hear it say ''angels for '''several''' thousand years'' [[User talk:Chasenuva1|Chasenuva1]] 18:12, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
==Thought==
"The exact person who is speaking is unknown. Just like the Destroyer's Invocation Message, there are many possibilities about who it could be. The likely candidates are the Gravemind and the Prophet of Truth since only Elites and Humans are mentioned."
Perhaps it is fallen Elites who fought beside the Arbiter with the humans. To me the voices sound as if they are trying to replicate the vocals of elites, while still trying to sound like flood. The phrase seems to be spoken honorably, a sign that elites are speaking it. This is just my thought however. --[[User talk:Kebath &#39;Holoree|Kebath &#39;Holoree]] 19:49, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
== Remember: ==
Just some quick things to remember before assuming a speaker of these messages.
* The Gravemind speaks in heptameter, or a multiple of 7 syllables in each phrase. Check the syllables and those of other possible words, as the exact transcript isn't certain.
* Changing the pitch of the words can make the voice sound like practically anyone. Not dissing those who speed it up or slow it down but I could sound like Paris Hilton if you changed my voice enough.
* Time is different for different factions. An A.I. has a distorted sense of time due to their processing power so "3000 years" could in fact be only minutes.
Please post your own reminder things!
Now just some of my theories:
The same passage I cited above could be an AI (as mentioned b4)or perhaps the Marine in the novel The Flood who was still aware of his actions while being infected due to a compromised Infection Form. It is possible that the same phenomena occured elsewhere. Or maybe a combination of both; maybe an AI that surrendered to the Gravemind (Mecindant Bias?)retained awareness? Please reply with theories of your own.

== I Believe it's Gravemind ==
I have just started playing Halo games but ever since I heard this I've played more often and I belive the only person it can be is Gravemind. His voice matches the music almost exact. I'm not sure yet who this Mecindant Bias is yet but from what I just read he is a Forunner AI. I don't belive it's a Prophet, Guilty Spark, or any other living being becuase after he said "Elites and Humans will die" he says "So forth will all of life" so unless they want to die too it can't be them. Lastly it can't be Mecindant Bias or Cortana because they are AI and if all life where to die they would have nothing left so they would have no reason to exist. Gravemind is the only person it can be for he is not exactly alive and he does hold a grudge to all of life.[[User talk:HaloGameOver|HaloGameOver]] 03:13, February 9, 2010 (UTC)HaloGameOver
