The answer is "Per Audacia Ad Astra". Someone just connect the dots for Pete's Sake. I'm too lazy. So is Pete. Do it for Pete.


"A rough road leads to the stars."
No, I mean the answer is literally "Per Audacia Ad Astra". Connect the dots in the order that FMike said to get that answer to present to MissingLink so that you can be like "hey, I win".

This data set is correct.
Posted by: FMike
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?
Those relate perfectly to the 7 steps of World Domination.
That was the idea behind FMike's post.

But that didn't make sense!
*Grumble grumble grumble*
He never said his logic was sound, just that his ordering of pictures was. Chillax, brah.

Given the 7 Steps to World Domination, my suspicion is that the logic is as sound as the ordering.
Yeah, I just realized that I thought at first he was talking about Coup as in the custom avatar/title bar service thing and the General Sol's chicken was a stretch because I thought it was a butchering of General Sao's chicken. That's what I get for not paying attention.

I see, sorry for the redundancy then. I am way out of the loop with this challenge.

Whoo.

Wait, so it is the seven steps?
How is the answer Ad Persa latin words then?

And why does the sun have a four on it?
And why are there random numbers and letters in the picture?

How did it begin with me? Did I found Bungie?

I'm back, so If there's anything I can do to help, tell me. I'm going to watch the banana phone video real quick to get up to speed.

Perhaps we are over-looking something or over-thinking about it. Maybe there are clues within what each of the employees have said, including what is beneath the picture: "...the clock is ticking..."

Maybe the banana phone isn't supposed to be the actual phone, but the "Ring, ring, ring" part. Maybe it's what you think when you see a banana phone.

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?



Using this, I've compiled This.


I'm going to see what letters are clearly left over, then unscramble.

From those remaining letters you can make Per Audacia ad strata

At the very least, an honorable mention would be nice. Working on this challenge from the ground up was very hard, but very fun. Coffee and bagels is a great way to start these Fridays.
