* 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 [http://halo3.com/5467k 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:

* When visiting the locations, people found a new display on Xbox 360 kiosks ([http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sMfOrh8RrM youtube video], thanks ''AshofPompei'').  In a 'hidden menu' (see [[flood containment control]]), they found a quote from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaise_de_Vigen%C3%A8re Blaise de Vigenère]:<br>'''"There is no malicious intent. Only the single minded goal of survival"'''<br>This tells us the code is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigen%C3%A8re_cipher vigenere cipher].  Using the quote as the key, the quote can be decoded to:

| Report 206:<br>Every sixteen hours another planet is taken. The numbers being lost are astronomical.<br>Report 223:<br>Host world raised. Correct concentration to point sixty five.

* Then using the code 9BK2R6 at the [[206.16.223.65|transmission log]], leads to the new [[Bounce Path Control]] page where visitors were prompted to enter a verification code ([[:Image:BouncePathControl-CE.jpg|image]]).  The first 100 people to enter this code were presented with the key entry page again, with a new voice message.<br>The MP3 narrative says:

* Once all 100 keys were received, "the server's content" became unlocked, and the [[206.16.223.65|transmission log]] began redirecting to "[[Server 02|Server Open]]" ([http://206.16.223.61/Ce1EOnJ/flash/web/index.html direct link]).  The second server ('episode') shown on [http://www.halo3.com halo3.com] is now unocked and displays the Forerunner entity.
