(July 10)
  • The message on the flood containment control (see for audio and transcription) call number has been updated. The new recording completes part 2, and hints for people to go visit halo3.com/5467k - a map of the US with red dots in every state on video game carrying stores. The page title says '3463 5467k', which when punched in a cell spells 'FIND KIOSK'. When viewing the red dots, each location contains a code: 
KltfvbljclecwuqlYnmerwvqhrplavyjantz 
xtmespdtsttgyseviBceyntfvvatrwzgwwub 
olwifmvbgcztatsVwxbxexiwgzswnfepVtkn

  • When visiting the locations, people found a new display on Xbox 360 kiosks. In a 'hidden menu' (see flood containment control), they found a quote from Blaise de Vigenère:
    "There is no malicious intent. Only the single minded goal of survival"
    This tells us the code is a vigenere cipher. Using the quote as the key, the quote can be decoded to:
Report 206:
Every sixteen hours another planet is taken. The numbers being lost are astronomical.
Report 223:
Host world raised. Correct concentration to point sixty five.

Fleet losing control falling back. Rendezvous at Nine Bravo Kilo Two Romeo Six.

  • Then using the code 9BK2R6 at the transmission log, leads to the new Bounce Path Control page where visitors were prompted to enter a verification code (image). The first 100 people to enter this code were presented with the key entry page again, with a new voice message.
    The MP3 narrative says:
Transcription:
Thalians were those who don't know the sound of darkness.
Those so hardened that they lose all their virgin paths,
And make no mistake, progress can [?log] you.
Just like now the pieces seem to be coming together
Bit by bit; Slice by surgical Slice.
Then, all of a sudden: endless calm.
There was a lack of...[Pause]...of failure in judgment
You must understand, not all life deserves a chance.
Even that artifice [artificial organ] passing as a organ.
Now there are two lessons spend the [?] that linger in your palm.
Waiting for redemptive kin to turn the keys,
leading to the symbionic relationship,
which benefits both our futures.
I will go battle with [?] and you will be meat's [?].
  • Once all 100 keys were received, "the server's content" became unlocked, and the transmission log began redirecting to "Server Open" (direct link). The second server ('episode') shown on halo3.com is now unocked and displays the Forerunner entity.
(July 9)
  • The message on the flood containment control (see for audio and transcription) call number has been updated. The new recording returns to part 1, but adds participants 3 and 4.
(July 8)
  • The message on the flood containment control (see for audio and transcription) call number has been updated with more of the conversation.
(July 6)
  • The message on the flood containment control (see for audio and transcription) call number has changed to a conversation between two men. Of note is a reference to "402-K-07-002". Googling the number leads to an EPA webpage referring to a booklet "EPA 402-K-07-002", Flood Cleanup and the Air in Your Home.
(July 5)
  • Valchael on the bungie.net forums announced he'd received a package from Microsoft containing a number of SOTA-related items. He was one of the first 100 to open Server 01. It's expected that packages were sent to all 100 - whether each will receive their package depends on the validity of their addresses (entered either directly, or via their Passport/XBL account).
  • FCCStonewall.jpg
    nattyhaze on arg.bungie.org discovered via google numerous classified postings for a company called Flood Containment Control (text displayed on the Slide_Ref070107.jpg), containing an image with the original 'closed' version of the glyph. Details here (actually discovered July 6th)
