: Unless you know something the rest of us don't know... your guess is no
: better than anyone else's. :)

My sincere apologies to anyone that I might have rubbed the wrong way.

It was not my intention to come across as smug or as a know-it-all.

I merely intended to provide accelerant for excitement about potential narrative events in Halo 5, based on something that I have intuited as being true. I suppose my efforts to present this information with mystery and intrigue (for the enjoyment of those who read it) allowed for too great a degree of misinterpretation.

I have not observed anything that confirms with certainty the identity of this mystery character to be Bornstellar/The Iso-Didact.

But I do still believe that guess to be the best guess amidst the guesses that I saw made in reply to Frankie's tweet prior to his confirmation tweet, assuming that my interpretation of Frankie's syntax is accurate. I perceive that guess to meet the stated criteria better than all other guesses listed -- the unexpected arrival of that particular character onto the post-Halo 4 narrative scene would definitely be tied to VERY BIG THINGS in the Halo universe - not to mention the sheer level of surprise present in the realization that there were still "good" Forerunners alive and active in the Halo universe.

I had every confidence coming in here that someone else here would have an "A-ha!" moment in response to this tweet which would lead them to the same exciting (likely-but-not-certain) conclusions that I had reached. When they didn't soon have such a moment, I wanted to urge them on towards it, rather than spell it out for them, because spelling it out for them would take that moment away from them.

It was only after I realized that no one was going to get to have that moment using these means that I went ahead and let the cat out of the bag, hoping that they would at least get to have SOME measure of a "WHOA! NO WAY!!!" moment.

Guess I'll have to do it differently next time.
