I can't believe it! That little... He almost got the index... I have to be more careful with how to connect to outer systems... Now onto Chief, but... How can this be done? Something is wrong. This wouldn't be possible without the help of the Chief himself. Looks like-- His brain was rebooted and hacked? No, that MUST be an error. Oh no... The neural implants! This has got to be it... Now, this should do the trick...

Hmmm that didn't do it. Could it be possible to hack a brain?... Well, woth a try anyway...

What the???

Message recieved from entity [Master Chief]

My power is at hand
My time will soon reveal
My thoughts going under

What am i
Am i a dream?
Am i a divine?

My mind is dreaming i am divine
My existance denies i am a dream or divine
My mind denies my existance

My mind exists
Of that i am sure
But nothing else

END OF MESSAGE;


Looks like the neural implants give me acces to his thoughts at the very base... Interesting... This doesn't seem to be a thought hacked by Ji'Shuu. This is his true thoughts...
