'Mornin!
Oh my dear sweet... haha. Nobody yet? I hope you guys have this when I get back from school. As Dazzy said "base 7 might fit in somewhere" (to paraphrase) and someone shot it down asking why base 7. Well 7 is Bungie's favorite number and I figure that's all we need to give 'er a go.
See you all after school!
Even with the TheMisssingLink's new hints my brain is still on fire.

Well, I am feeling slightly guilty about making you guys suffer, but Deej gave me full permission to imbue a little torture on you guys, so when all else fails, I blame Stosh.
As far as hints, I haven't given much in the way of hints in the last few hours because I've been out and about enjoying dinner elsewhere. But if hints are desired, I can spread a little bit of joy to help you through this rough spot.
This is admittedly the difficult part of the clue because it's not entirely clear how to proceed, but when you read the long passage, you might realize (or might not, but hopefully it's clear) that it's a little awkwardly worded. That should fire off klaxons and sirens to you. It means that I'm avoiding using words that would normally appear in casual speech.
Other things to consider:
* There are no spaces is the source text. This is significant.
* The letters are also capitalized. This too is significant.
* You're looking for sevens and zeroes. But there aren't any to be found. Yet the passage suggests that you're actually reading them in the passage.
Some food for thought.

And this is probably completely off the mark, but does anybody else feel like the letter "P" appears more often than normal in the decoded paragraph? I get the sense that sentences were structured to maximize the occurrence of "P".
This is actually a very interesting observation.
