Points of Interest

The community is currently analyzing numerous potential leads, demonstrating the voracity of the hive mind:


  • Narcissus

On June 18th, Adjutant Reflex posted the following quote: "He has had millennia for reflection, but what image does he see?" He has posted other allusions, to things like MacBeth ("By the pricking of my thumbs.") and Greek Myth (The Iris Poem, what this ARG is named.). In the story of Narcissus, he was punished by being forced to look at himself in the mirror-like pool of water for eternity. (Though, he did not realize it was a punishment.) The answer, then, would be "Himself."


  • "Avery Fane"
    • A blog post by Avery Fane on myspace which linked to SOTA has raised the question of whether he is in-game or not, because of numerous suspiciously coincidental references to similar things, such as 'Iris'. It further led to his website www.averyfane.com, showing he's an actor/model/singer. Hired talent? Temporarily recruited to post a blog entry?
    • Avery has shown up now on youtube and on Facebook - but the jury is still out on how much is legitimate and how much is fan-made hoax
  • two222222
    • A blog post by two222222 (http://www.myspace.com/two222222) references SOTA as if he's a member, but with no information revealed not already known, it's widely considered to be a red herring; not official, just a fan-made attempt
      -- update: a followup blog entry seems to debunk it as a hoax posting

  • AdjutantReflex made its first appearance on the Bungie.net forums in a thread called "System Integrity Confirmed", and typed in yellow text.


  • Urk, on the unfiction boards, figured the following out from the forum post by AdjutantReflex that read
    "871803909 ± 384 hours since event"

Here is how it breaks down:

  • Hours in a year, according to Google = 8,765.81277
  • Hours passed since activation as cited by AdjutantReflex = 871,803,909+-384
  • 871,803,909 / 8,765.81277 = 99454.999995396890047880865244627
  • Rounded, that's roughly 99455 years since activation.
  • 100,000 - 99455 = 545
  • We're in year 2007. The events in the Halo story arc take place in the year 2552.
  • 2552 - 2007 = 545
AR's time reference equates nearly exactly to 100,000 years before the year 2552
  • For clarification on how the number 100,000 came up, FauxHammer said
"Whatever happened 99,520 years ago, happened about 100,000 years ago if the local year is 2552. There are a few hints in the Halo 2 campaign that the last activation of the halo installations (the array perhaps?) was about 100,000 years ago." However, according to wikipedia.org humans originated, 200,000 years ago as of present date. Thus, if the rings were activated according to the above information it would mean the humans and the world would have had to go through a massive extinction mid-way through our existance.


  • In the third thread, AdjutantReflex typed "36 hours 50 minutes remaining". At that point, the time and date was 6/12/2007, 12:10 PM PDT (pointing to 6/14/07, 1:00 AM PDT).


  • The morning of 6/14/07, an E-mail was sent to a select group of people (how they were selected is still being determined), containing this image:
070614-Glyph.jpg
The interesting thing about that picture was this glyph, made bigger by Urk:
070614-Glyph-zoom.jpg


  • Camperman determined that the setting of that picture is the Halo 2 map "Desolation" (screenshot), which is described as
"Once a scientific outpost, this derelict Forerunner facility waits patiently to be reactivated."


  • The poem in the picture says for the "keepers of the flame" to "Look for the signs."


  • 50401 at args.bungie.org spotted a sign in the visor of Master Chief at Halo3.com.
Symbol01-MasterChief-Enh.jpg
This is not, however, the same glyph. Neither of these glyphs match up to known glyphs.

Other Mysteries

X.XX.713> ghost.713/non-auth/activity ongoing

This line of text was hidden in a panoramic shot of a warthog that bungie released. From there, troglodyte went to the bible and found Genesis 7:13, which reads:

"On that very day Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth,
together with his wife and the wives of his three sons, entered the ark."

Also, analysis on the server "05 Open" site, has continued, with suggestions that at mysterious sphere, formed from many rectangular segments was in fact a "Dyson Sphere" which was mentioned in Ghosts of Onyx, a google search revealed a refrence to another book...called Ringworld, which bears at least some similarity with the Halo universe.
