There were leads to Destiny in ODST...
And markings on walls, but I don't think those are important.

Don't be stupid like I was! Check to see what that Forum Ninja is saying to you!

Here you guys are, a video of the terminals, although I didn't take the time to slow it down or anything. Mostly because its almost 3 in the morning and I don't feel like doing much work.

On youtube with the HTML5 viewer you can slow down the video. No need for editing tools.

Take the dark squares and translate them. I'll try it.

EDIT: Here's what I tried: Instead of translating the first symbol as "Via", I translated the opposite symbol. The dark squares. The first word would be "populus" instead.

The dark words translate to:
Populus, Carcer, Acquisito, Fortuna Major, Puella, Caput, Draconis, Conjunctio

SWEET MOTHER OF GOD WE HAVE A CONSPIRACY!!!!!!!!
Those words you translated are some of the 16 geomantic figures... that look like this!!!!! oddly similar to some of the new avatars dont you think?

Populus: Latin for "the People". The figure resembles a bird's eye view of a group of people. The figure can mean that the outcome is based on the people of the situation, or represents a large number of people or peers.

Carcer: Latin for "the Prison". The figure is the outline of an enclosure, a link in a chain, or prison cell. It is usually bad in situations and denotes delays, setbacks, or bindings. Astrologically it is associated with Capricorn and Saturn retrograde; its inner and outer element is earth. It refers to immobility, and also thereby strength. Depending on the question it could indicate a restriction or a source of willpower.

Acquisito: Latin for "Gain". The figure resembles two bowls or cups turned upright. It is good in almost all situations, especially for getting and obtaining things

Fortuna Major: Latin for "the Greater Fortune". The figure resembles blessings growing from the earth and being fruitful in the air. It is good in all situations in a best case scenario sense and represents great good fortune, especially in beginnings.

Puella: Latin for "the Girl". The figure is to resemble the -blam!- or a woman with exaggerated breasts. It is good in most situations, especially with women, beauty, or feminine situations.

Caput and Draconis go together to mean: Latin for "the Head of the Dragon". The figure resembles the astrological symbol the north node of the Moon. It is neutral figure (good with good, evil with evil) but fortunate with starting or beginning new things.

Conjunctio: Latin for "the Conjunction". The figure resembles a crossroads or joining of two figures. The sign is neutral in meaning (good in good things, evil in evil), but good with joining or recovering things, especially marriage or relationships. Astrologically it is associated with Virgo and Mercury retrograde. It represents a combination of forces, for good or ill.
Link is being a bit derpy, just search for the geomantic figures...

Bigger than the Megg? Impossible!

Nothing could beat an extremely complicated routine leading to a room guarded by invincible pissed off marines. Tribute Room was a joke compared to the Megg.

As for Latin, boy I wish I had studied that. Perhaps I may be wrong and this is bigger than the Megg!

It's back. But...!

Bnet never fails to amuse. That Sandtrap thread was terribly long. I mean long.

Hahaha, it really was. I got quite a kick out of that thread though.

Read the bottom of the OP, I updated it. Anyone have any other ideas for things we could look at in the terminals? Might as well do it while we are here.

Does anyone know the backstory behind what is said in the terminals? Or is it just random jibber jabber?

We aren't here to ruin your experience (Well Qbix is).

This should be interesting.

This revival has brought me back to this thread. When I read that an unfound easter egg appears only on a certain day, I thought, what if the necessary glyphs only appear on a certain day? This would certainly explain why no one has ever attempted this before.


It would be a lot of work to try this though. Someone would have to disconnect from Live, change the date on there Xbox, get to the terminal, and check if the symbols have changed. For every day of the year. A group effort would make it go much faster.
