The Mail Sack is here to save the day!
[url=http://www.bungie.net/News/Blog.aspx?mode=news#cid32192]Let's open the Sack[/url].
As for the challenge, guessing at Bungie Lore won't be enough. We want to see your problem solving mojo. Team up if you will, but a winner is just a guesser without documentation of how they solved the puzzle.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] bluechill9 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] bjb yo Okay, so... What we need to do is find the order of the numbers (because that's the path misssinglink is leading us down)... But, we also have to remember that ALL of the pictures have to do with Bungie. None of them have to do with Bungie employees, and it's been stated that the "G" note from the bottom left corner goes by it's other name (I'm assuming Sol, which is latin for sun, because, well, Per Audia Ad Astra is latin for "Through Boldness to the stars", and the sun is a star). Just a bit of a recap with some more input sprinkled it.[/quote] Well the order so far is: 1. Bungee Jumping - Bungie took a leap and went over the cliff into game dev 2. Apple - Marathon The Angel is Halo. The unknowns are: The General & G-Note The Cuckoo Clock The 4 heptagon The Banana Phone. The General & G-Note could be either Destiny or Aerospace or Microsoft because Sol also is our home solar system ie. Home and Microsoft was Bungie's home for a while. The 4 Heptagon could be 7th column? and is 4th? As in take out all the 4s, (the instruction part from TheMissingLink). The Banana Phone is not the Webmaster. It could be Aerospace or Activision maybe? The Cuckoo Clock could be Bungie being freed from Microsoft because the bird "tries to escape" kind of.[/quote] banana phone = return of webmaster. There now no once can say I did nothing.

Step 1: Bungie Step 2: Apple Step 3: Halo Step 4: Chinese food (General Sol's chicken?) Step 5: Ling Ling (ring ring?) Step 6: Coup (1st syllable of cuckoo) Step 7: Red sun?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MURDUR 587 Maybe someone rung up Bungie. You know, ring ring ring ring ring, banana phone.[/quote]That'll be stuck in my head for weeks.

Ok, other names for G + So (Sol), as already note + It's the 5th note above middle C (that might indicate this is the 5th picture?) + In a particular key, G wouldbe the "tonic" As for the banana phone video misssinglink posted, there's 7 "ring"s sung at a time during the chorus...
-
Please, next time include a instruction manual.
-
Would the correct order be: Bungee Jumping : Bungie was founded - Takes a leap into a hard field, game dev Granny Smith Apple: Marathon - Apple computers General & G Note: Myth - General = War = Myth Angel w/ Halo : Halo - Angel's Halo = Halo Banana Phone: Destiny In the youtube video, the eye = Destiny? And soon to be "called upon" "See [call] you starside/2013"? And then the Cuckoo Clock is Aerospace? So 1: Bungee Jumping 2: Apple 3: General & G Note 4: Angel 5. Aerospace 6: Destiny Or flip 5 & 6?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Unanimate Objec My final answer: Do what defnop said and take numbers and make a line to their respective pictures. The pictures followed the 7 steps to world domination. I've already said the pictures in order like 10 times, so there's no need to repeat. Connecting the letters back to their pictures out a bunch of letters, and eventually you're left with the letters needed to make the 7th picture's (Aerospace's motto) Per Audacia Ad Astra. [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/86481854@N02/7989464912/in/photostream]Here's what I did.[/url] Thanks to Spec Op, We have the answer: Per Audacia Ad Astra. I have to go, I've been at this for ~5 hours. Good bye. Good luck [/quote]You're on the right track. You just don't the right order of pictures. I tried that as well with same order. Still no answer. I'm pretty sure we're on the right idea though. It makes sense to use the numbers to cross out letters. In the end, there needs to be no numbers left on the image. I believe once we get the right order, we'll have this thing solved. I'll be back in a few to see if anyone has solved it. Or MisssingLink can come in here and crush our hopes.

So each picture corresponds to a number, and if you draw a line from each picture to its corresponding number the lines will cross out letters leaving you with the letters to spell "Per Audacia Ad Astrata".

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CrazzySnipe55 I thought so I just didn't think you were actually going there. ;) In that case, I'm not sure your assessment is accurate.[/quote]I dunno, I was just basing it off the fact that whenever I look at a post-release video of Halo 2 development I always see "Sleep? What's sleep? We've got a game to develop.". And stuff like that because the crunch was so damn tight. You know Halo 3 was apparently meant to be part of Halo 2, so the crunch must have been pretty bad if they had to cut a whole second game of content from the game. Of course if they did finish "the Halo 3 part" of the campaign wouldn't have been as long as Halo 3 at all but it still presumably would have wrapped up the trilogy. Also the last time I remember watching a video with Bungie talking about Mircosoft it was along the lines of "They made us wear ties and work in cubicles, we didn't like that.". Well I tried, I did think Bungie saying "microsoft sucks" was a little uncharacteristic for a puzzle, but it was the most logically consistent at the time and they have said things to the effect at the past.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MURDUR 587 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CrazzySnipe55 Ah, didn't see that. I'm still not entirely seeing how treble works into MURDUR's sequence, unless it has some other meaning I'm ignorant of.[/quote]Treble is the clef that the G is played on. I'm using it as a synonym, simile, ineedtorelearnenglish, for terrible. It's also called the "G-Clef" if that helps anyone.[/quote]I thought so I just didn't think you were actually going there. ;) In that case, I'm not sure your assessment is accurate.

I'm still not entirely seeing how treble works into MURDUR's sequence, unless it has some other meaning I'm ignorant of.[/quote] Ok, for the music note, I think it was a hint to Marty and the number 5, and as for Petraeus: On the wiki, it said he was nominated to be the General of the Army, and how does Marty play into this? [url=http://bungie.wikia.com/wiki/The_Marty_Army]See for yourself.[/url][/quote]One of the hints was that none of the pictures are of employees, I'm assuming he meant by extension things related to them, but I don't know.[/quote] Still, I think the biggest gamebreaker right now would be as to [u]Why[/u] we need the pictures in order. If there were no numbers, it'd make sense (since you'd need some kind of proof as to how you arrive at the conclusion) But there [u]are[/u] numbers and there [u]are[/u] letters.

Or maybe you connect a line from the numbers to their respective pictures?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] defnop552 Is it possible that after figuring out the order of the images you place the blue dot and picture over its corresponding number which will block out letters and numbers. Eventually all the numbers have been covered and maybe you can spell something with the words left over?[/quote] How would you place the blue dot and picture over the number? I could just wipe out 1-7 since there are only 7 pictures, unless you and I are on totally different trains of thought. Good idea, none-the-less.

I'll see what I can do with my Paint skills. *cracks knuckles* Tried it and a bunch of random letters were left. AARDWDTEDDQDWICOUSWSPOAH I'm pretty sure that's not right either.
