There's no way Nate Hawbaker's favorite hero is Alan Stuart

I'm still stumped on what number the cuckoo clock could be. 12? something lower?

And since the pictures = numbers, maybe we're doing a ' connect the dots ' variation?

Brainstorming with CrazzySnipe55 (and others!):

First - [ Four in a Literal Septagon ] Could be:
+ Fourth in series of 7 arms on the septagon
+ Stand-in for the word "for" or "four"
+ Stand-in for a date or time
+ A key number in a sequence of numbers intersected by lines connecting the dots

Second - [ Half of a Cuckoo Clock ] Could be:
+ "Time left"
+ "Half-time"
+ "half cuckoo" :-)

Third - [ Angel ] Could be:
+ bsAngel
+ Halo

Fourth - [ Bungee Jumper ] Hard to see this as anything other than BUNGiE

Fifth - [ General Patraeus & a G note (in the Treble Clef) ] - Could be:
+ Marty's Army

Sixth - [ A Green Apple ] Could be:
+ Apple, Inc.
+ New York City
+ Granny Smith

Seventh - [ Phone with Banana as the Receiver Webmaster is a Gorilla, Gorillas eat bananas


I like your organizational skills.

Work off this, just a shot in the dark, could the 4 perhaps have a link to Marathon by chance?

We know for a fact that one is bungie jump, two is apple, so let's go from there.



1 is Bungie Jump


2 is Apple


3 could be angel, representing the Trinity?


4 could be the obvious 4 at the top


5 could be the "G" musical note


6 is cuckoo clock since it's cut in half!


7 leaves the banana, which is the webmaster!



Now what?

Whoo.

Oh I get it, it's a progression.

Bungie, Apple, Co. (As in corporation), Halo, Marty, Letters to the webmaster and the septagon.

Not entirely sure how that escalates into the motto.

Perhaps destiny is the next in the progression?

Possibly Destiny? Or Halo due to the halo above her?

5 could be the "G" musical note
Why would David Petraeus be there then?


6 is cuckoo clock since it's cut in half!
What about it being cut in half is significant though? Perhaps, half the time required to solve the last puzzle? Or something of the like?


7 leaves the banana, which is the webmaster!

AH! I didn't even think about that. Wow. I think he's on the money.

Though my only concern is the Bungie jumping thing. Jumping to Microsoft? Or jumping to a higher level due to Microsoft's partnership?

The clock is six!!! A clock face has 12 numbers on it. Half a clock face with have half of the 12 numbers so it would be six on the clock face making the clock be six!

I've connected dot-to-dot by order of number on picture on MS Word, and it kinda looks like two stars, but it also runs through a bunch of letters and numbers!

The order isn't necessarily right but I'm pretty sure on Apple, Halo, Bungie and Co.

Another possibility for the general is General Mircosoft.
(I heard G being 'so' earlier)

And the phone being ... ilovebees?

Also the number 4 in the heptagon could represent destiny. Since it would be the 4th series Bungie would have made

1. Marathon
2. Myth
3. Halo
4. Destiny

You guys are totally ignoring the letters and numbers which definitely aren't there for decoration.

No that's not right either.

Alright, based on the timeline idea. I believe the graphic is showing the 7 steps to world Domination.

I've connected the dots on the pictures in the order I've decided represented the pictures (see above post) and the lines run through some numbers and letters, but I'm not sure if that's totally correct.

Missing Link is telling us to focus on the pictures now. Forget the numbers and letters until we hit up the pictures.

Could be the 4, symbolizing 4 the win. I saw the 6 mentioned earlier on the clock since it was half the time so that would be step 6 (though not sure how that correlates to becoming independent and such).

We figured out that there's a numerical significance to the pictures, like Apple being two (or Apple II) which Bungie used, and the Bungee picture being one, because Bungee jumping truly began on the First of one of the months in 1980.

And as you saw above, I hypothesized what the others would be, so let's try and figure them out.

Could it be a timeline, showing the path of Bungie up until now? Or up until Aerospace? If i remember correctly, the term "Bungie Aerospace" and Per audacia ad astra were used frequently together.

I think I've done it. If you draw lines from each picture in the correct order (see below) you will cross letters. These letters can be used to make "see u starside" which in latin is per audacia ad strata

Why does the Cuckoo Clock get the 6th spot because it's cut in half? I dont see the logic there.

Is that the answer??

I'm gonna test it to see for myself.

This isn't the answer.

The numbers for the images are also not all correct.

The webmaster is not represented in the pictures.
