Welcome to the Iris (Halo 3 ARG) Wiki

ANNOUNCEMENT: As you may well have noticed, the Wiki was down for over a day, since early afternoon June 20th - this was due to an unexpected server migration with the hosting ISP. Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused. I'm not happy about the events that have occurred, but I am working to have the wiki back up to date as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience and support.

  • At 12:00AM EDT, the text above the countdown disappeared, leaving only the halted timer.
  • Around 9PM EDT, the transmission log redirected to a different server (a system labelled 'Bounce Path Control'), where visitors were prompted to enter a verification code. The first 100 people to enter this code were presented with another page displaying:
Bounce Path Control
The Past (link to an mp3 narrative)
The Key
(23 digit unique key code)
The Path ->
Treat this knowledge with care

followed by:

Transcription:
This is how it all begins
Just in time to stand once again dance upon the knife-edge of oblivion
To relive what the halos had hoped to destroy, and more
For two enemies now stand for before there was only one
A fate we escaped, a fate we may relive
I almost convinced myself that noone was listening
That the waves of the past had rolled through once again
But a chance remains to change the universe, anew
Learn of our past
Take these keys and dip them in the wells of history
Perhaps through others' eyes you may find how to save us all
