Where did the letters to numbers come from? I know where the 1-7: 7878787 comes from. What about the letters to numbers?

Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I thought that is why the septagon was used.

I have a feeling the pics are supposed to be a guideline for the words we are supposed to make out.

Well, the letter 'U' appears 4 times, if that means anything.

  • 09.14.2012 3:33 PM PDT

If I counted right. There are seven numbers of 1 through 7. Seven 1's. Seven 2's and so on. If this means anything. I know Bungie likes "7" that is why I am mentioning it but I could be wrong.

You sneaky bastard. Do you enjoy watching us struggle and squirm at these puzzles. Don't answer that.

Ok, I've got to go to work. I'll work on this when I get back later tonight.

you're wrong. We've already counted.
Odd numbers appear 7 times, even numbers appear 8 times.

One does not choose a destiny, his destiny is bestowed, shaped and formed, from the soul.

So why don't we connect the numbers and letters in a way that we connect all the U's and all the pictures. Its probably either some form of picture or word. Like a picture made when you connect the.....numbers and letters (dots isnt appropriate for this)

Is there a purpose behind the positioning of the letters or is it just random?

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

No one solved it yet?

He was probably joking.
He might have confused the second half of season 5 for season 6, given the seperate time frame and the fact that the context implies that season 5 is over.

So here's a crazy theory. Bottom left is General G - the General G is a statistic related to spacial relationships. Anyone here have knowledge about that stuff? Could explain the layout of the letters and numbers.

Isn't the "You" from "itallbeginswithyou.jpg" referring to the whitespace from the seventh column shaped as a "U" ?

I think we might get a hint at 4:30.

4 + 1/2 clock
4:30 O'clock

Wild shot in the dark based off a guess in the previous page.


I'm thinking Bungie put bananaphone in there on purpose because they knew we'd be too busy listening to the song to solve the puzzle with any form of haste.

Sounds like a good idea but I don't think they would have put so many letters on the boundry of the white and grey space if that was the case.
