Canonicity[edit]
Concerning this and Spartan NOLA, do we have a confirmation that the Section III ARG is canon? I don't know much of anything about it in depth, but what I'm seeing here is a fun little thing people did on a forum/IRC — an officially-endorsed thing, mind you — but one that runs into some credibility issues if we were to take it as 100% canon. I mean, a never-before-mentioned 52-Spartan team running around on Reach? A random Spartan with over 125,000 Covenant kills? --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 00:52, 11 March 2015 (EDT)
I'm skeptical of this too. It looks close to fanon, and the Waypoint ids don't show any special markers like Catalog or Iris's accounts did. The less than stellar grammar doesn't help. Tuckerscreator(stalk)
| Having personally been apart of T.O.T.S., I can attest that the actual handlers and A.I. are most certainly canon. Now whether or not every last Spartan operative that participated in it is actually canon, I honestly have no clue. I know a handful of them were to be considered canon, but I'm not sure what the specifics are on it. We'd have to see if one of our handlers is still active or if one of the leading members knows. | --Nocte Vagus (talk) 02:58, 11 March 2015 (EDT)
Proof[edit]
Well I can confirm its existence in canon. Remember the Catalog. Well it answered a question on key character in the Section 3 ARG.
After the a user asked the question "What do you know of the AI construct designated "hydrAI" that was found on shield world Requiem?"
The Catalog replied "Query Answer: Records recovered from Human [destroyer] INF-101 present at Warrior-Servant [castra] [Requiem] currently stored in inaccessible cores. Archived signature does not match construct [spoor] in local [cache]."
Now that makes sense due to the situation of the character at the time(being locked up or destroyed) and various other reasons.
I hope this helps.
(PS sorry if my grammar isn't the best I do apologize for that. I ain't the best here but try my best) --CIA391 (talk) 07:58, 11 March 2015 (GMT)
- I may be missing some critical bit of context, but isn't Catalog just saying a whole lot of nothing here? That stuff about the relevant information being "stored in inaccessible cores" appears to be its routine answer when it doesn't want to confirm or deny something. Even if it were confirming the existence of this "hydrAI" character (which I don't really see it doing here) I don't see how this confirms the canonicity of the entire ARG. I'd rather wait for a more unambiguous and conclusive confirmation given the niche nature of the medium and the preposterousness of some of the information. --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 11:32, 11 March 2015 (EDT)
