On the first and last of the ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'' levels, a '''bulletin board''' can be found just outside the bridge of the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]''. Some of the [[7|seven]] messages look plausible, some are just silly, while others are hidden Easter Eggs.
There are actually more bulletin boards on the ''Pillar of Autumn'', one being found on the mission, [[The Maw]], there is a shattered board right through the cafeteria alongside two [[medical pack|medical packs]] and an empty [[shotgun]].
 
One says: "Missing: Calico Cat: Answers to [[Jonesy]]" This is a reference to ''Alien'' and ''Aliens'', two movies that ''[[The Halo Universe|Halo]]'' draws inspiration from, to include the banter of a [[Marine]] soldier. Jonesy was a Calico cat in the series and, along with Ripley, was the sole survivor of the first movie.
 
There is a picture of [[Earth]] from the Moon with the caption "Fight for her" on it. This is likely propaganda within the [[UNSC]]. It also shows Africa, and may be a reference or foreshadowing to where the Ark's portal is hidden.
 
There is also a note reading:
 
''For Sale:''<br />
''Pentium XI 33 GF''<br />
''Chicago Office''<br />
''Colony Ship''<br />
''*[[7]] Speed Manual transmission.''<br />
''
''Hyde Park Condo''<br />
''Integrity''
 
This is a reference to [[Bungie]] being bought by Microsoft. It mentions the location of Bungie's old office, as well as referencing a stage in [[Marathon]], entitled Colony Ship for Sale: Cheap.
 
There is a sign that says: "Marines keep it clean! Clean your area, toss your filth, put away your trash." This may or may not be linked to the latest teaser by Bungie entitled "[[KEEP IT CLEAN]]."
 
Another says: "Duty roster Pillar Of Autumn" with some illegible writing which is supposedly the duty roster.
 
One says: "Marines scooters are for squirts, no scooters on deck."
 
Another reads: "Attention marines, callbacks for South Pacific" and the rest is cut off by a keyboardish item. It is likely that this is a reference to the musical, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Pacific_(musical) South Pacific].
