Destiny Alternate Reality Game Discovered (Myth Busted!)

DeeJ said: The following is not the work of Bungie. Some of us know already the way Bungie likes to work in it's Universe. Long-Time Fans will surely remember cryptic messages and stories located at some Terminals in Marathon, Marathon: Durandal and Marathon: Infinity; Some of Bungie's old games and the spiritual antecessor to Halo. It's storywriting was a helluva piece of art. So complex that even today, after 17 Years, people are still finding clues and solving puzzles at the Marathon Story Guide, maintained by Hamish Sinclair (Hats Off To 819 (117*7=819 and all that babble). You also must've heard of Bungie's previous ARG (Alternate Reality Game), and their obvious relation to the Number 7. Today, on February 7th, a Twitter account named "[jo?y )ANSiBLE" followed me and 76 other users, (77). And started posting somewhat-deducible things. Here are a few >^*'[?when] am_! ---(Could be When/Where Am I?) >config_temporal adjustment::ACTIV*{ >adjusting//Syntax___TERRA::7cen.Negative ---(Adjusting... Syntax___TERRA shows up as "Negative", after formal Start-Up, it mentions Earth instead of Terra, it's Latin Translation) >JETTiSON: personality core || social_makeup//SCOUR^'&  ---(The Word "Jettison" is in All Caps except for the "i", this is later seen on another post) >haven.PRTCL::Established ...

Katkikr here pointed out that it was from The Roland's Song, owner of Durindana, or Durandal, "Forged from the same Steel/Iron as Joyeuse and Curtana". After I responded with "The Song of Roland... Durandal? Who Are You"? a response was given: "A Friend of a Friend". I don't believe he knows I tend to use the Name, and I'm not even sure if it's really from The Song of Roland. I read it all and couldn't find this excerpt. >[img]http://i.imgur.com/HW5NWPU.jpg[/img] From Tess Of the D'Urbervilles, Chapter 58 of 59. Tess runs away with Angel after she murdered his husband, who kept them away from each other. This chapter describes their arrival at a "Temple of The Winds", Stonehenge. >[img]http://i.imgur.com/NCtMsPI.jpg[/img] Couldn't find anything related to it. As you may notice in many images, "Destiny" and the number 7 are commonly seen. >[img]http://i.imgur.com/v7soozH.png[/img] The only picture so far with a "NUM" Termination. Oddly enough, the 7 is clearly seen here. [img]http://i.imgur.com/2HBZEeS.jpg[/img] Siddhartha Chapter 8 - By The River. Looks like the Character fled from home and is now wandering near a river.

The pictures end there, the last one being "Syntax.nav::proc_CNS.7// ....... 8". After that, it posts this. >UN.spool::success ...

It answers "vrtl.injct.array:: [?home] is mod.injct.array ... mod.injct.array is PURGED and lost. I am in Terra.web HERE." and right after, it types, answering the same tweet, this: "[?home] is in Terra.web [?where]" >The last thing it posted (At this precise moment, as I'm writing while interacting with "it", was this: "vrtl.injct.array:: I am the Virtual Injection Array, emergency simulacrum of the Modular Injection Array "SCPN"" So, vrtl.injct.array stands for Virtual Injection Array, and seems to be an "Emergency Simulacrum" for the actual Modular Injection Array. But, what kind of Array? What is it for? Technically, a certain event must've triggered it's "Activation". Bungie stated that in a couple weeks or so they'd reveal some Destiny-Related information, and this is surely leading to something else. And what could SCPN stand for? I'll keep updating this Thread as I gather more info. If you feel like analyzing those excerpts, please post anything you find. I seem to be the only one working on this thing. Only one other person has actually answered the account, yet it seems I'm the one It focuses on. ANY NEW INFO WILL BE ADDED AFTER THIS POINT. >After I asked why was It activated, it answered with "vrtl.injct.array:: To repair the Modular Injection Array and inject the Queen into Terra.web" Terra.web is surely Earth's World Wide Web, as in, letting the "Queen" be known. I asked if "It" and "The Queen" are of Human Origin, and what's the "Queen"'s Purpose.

    • Ansible, mention of the Queen, and Terra, make me more inclined to believe this is Jane from the Ender's Game trilogy, if it's real at all. It would make sense, seeing as the Ender's Game movie is coming out soon.

      • Problem with ARGs these days is determining whether it is an actual ARG or a fan is just dicking with people's expectations. Since the whole point is to be mysterious, it usually isn't said whether the ARG is official or not, so most of the time I don't bother with them.

        • The Siddhartha excerpt is on pg 87, and doesn't seem right. "If only there was a tiger a devour him..." Eh, I dunno. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this thread for any new stuff. I'm not that great at deciphering things.

          • Did you think of the Bungie formula when you saw the name of twitter account? Joyansible....according to the Bungie formula the next game would involve a character based off of Joyeuse, the name given to Charlemagne's sword. Pair that with Ansible, which is a "fictitious machine capable of instantaneous or superluminal communication" according to wiki, you get JOYANSIBLE and that is some pretty interesting stuff.

              • Here are the results from my theory: VWL1: O CSN1: S VWL2: no match CNS2: C,V,Y,J,W,G VWL3: U,Y CNS3: (F),B NUM1: 7 CNS4: (N),(H),T VWL4: E CNS5: L VWL5: no matches CNS6: R VWL6: E CNS7: M If there are multiple possibilities, they are listed in the order that was given in one of the tweets. If a letter is in paranthesis, that means it was not a match, but the number of occurrences was close and hard to tell if accurate because of cut off words or titles.

                  My general rule of thumb with supposed ARGs is to wait for some sort of connection that could NOT have come from a fan. The "I Love Bees" ARG started with a subliminal message in an official Halo 2 trailer. The IRIS ARG started with a post on the Bungie.net forums under an account that clearly had special privileges. Fans couldn't fake that, but they CAN make a fake Twitter account. Are you wasting your time? I don't know; it isn't my place to say. If you're having fun with it, who cares if it's official? I'll only say that I personally wouldn't spend a lot of time on an ARG that started on Twitter of all things (and is clearly trying its hardest to look like an ARG).

                    I'm not going to pretend to understand the majority of what's going on here, but one thing that stood out to me is the "Queen" in relation to the "moon" object seen in concept art. In this ARG the "Queen" is meant to be injected into the Earth to keep it safe, much like the "moon" is the Guardian of the Last City in Destiny. Maybe this unknown alien race is attempting to contact us, the "knights", in a barely-decipherable way in order to bring protection to the Last City, but are constantly thwarted by the "enemies". Just some thoughts. Seems early to be leaking plot points, but if Bungie has 10 years planned out, I'm sure they can afford a few months of intense speculation.

                  • I'll have to Comment from now on. I exceeded the 10.000 Characters... I guess Durandal would be proud of me for breaking stuff. I'm kinda stuck at this point. 14 Characters have to be submitted in order to start the Repair Process. One of them is 7, but that's the only Numeral. The rest are A-Z Characters. Now, it mentioned "occ number + VWL∨CNS - irrelevant [?atoms] ... I sense there was only one numeral in the sequence." VWL seems to be related to C#, a coding language, and a Trie, or Digital/Prefix Tree. VWL is "Vowel" and CNS is "Consonant".

                      • Also, just realized something else. I already knew that there were 14 Characters to be submitted in Total, and that the account had posted 14 Images of certain writings, I had also deduced that there was a Syntax NUM (Which was 7), and the rest were either CNS or VWL. Now, what I've just realized is: That within those pictures, there are 13 Consonants and Vowels, required for the activation. It's there, and I just need to find the Vowel /Consonant in each Image, and probably find an order for them as well.

                      • Thought it was worth mentioning that "The Hollow Men" is quoted by Cortana in Halo 3. The poem is also thought to reference Dante's Inferno, which we know ODST was related to. But I still can't rap my head around the meaning and connection of the stanza that Joyansible quoted.

                      • I would like to point out that the first part of the username seems similar to the name of the AI that will supposedly be in the game. You know the one on that thread about the Joyuse (Probably not right spelling.) thread, where the OP made a comparison between Durandal, Cortana, and Joyuse. (Still not sure if right spelling.)
