Minerva is Project 2501.
If you understand what that means, you know I'm right.

...and the AI argument rears its head once again.
@Terrapin: I thought we were almost certain she was a post-human or something along those lines...

I'm far too lazy to go find the references but Adam has said in the blog he was influenced by the Marathon games, plus I think that symbol in the top right of this very forum is Marathon inspired (not sure tho). The original name of the first Minerva map was "The Flatulent Geographer" as it was Adam's homage to Halo's "Silent Cartographer" level.
I agree with all your other points as well, transhumanism is awesome. :)

"The Silent Cartographer" was one of my favorite parts of original Halo. Hilarious how the fact the map was even in the game was a complete accident- it was essentially a tech demo, a level where they threw a whole bunch of things into the map to test runtime elements. Who knew it would be so much fun?
And yes, I did notice that Marathon reference in SE. Fun map, that.

Man, you guys are making me want to actually play Halo. :P ;)
And the logo at the top seems to be the Marathon door-logo except sideways and yellow.
