That iris-like structure to the right; some of the detailing in it looks like the detailing on the Forerunner artifact in the Halo 3 announcement trailer. (The "big rumbly thing what beams our sky", if I may.) The "petals" that rise up during the trailer, for instance, are traced out; 9 of them by my count, starting from 1 o'clock.


I didnt notice that...Good call

One thing come September 25th, if that structure is in the game I'll be poking around where that "J" ends up marking when overlayed on the iris map.


I'll be right next to you Wink

I think I figured it out, I think it has to do with a mathematical formula that has to do with a circle also the little bars in the lower left of the "eye" (which is above a holo projector btw) and I think if we matched up the bars and resized the glyph we may get something.
Also it looks like the Green samurai rangers morpher

I had a friend with some photoshop skills try to overlay all 3 pictures...didnt have any luck.

The re-sizing of the "J" was kicking his ass.

Someone or something will be waiting for us the last week of september in the "J" area inside the ARC

A Dyson sphere with a few friends perhaps Wink

AR an orracle?

Perhaps the eye thing in the picture is what AR will look like.... since he's not on a halo instalation, his model could be dirrerent.

I overlayed the J almost perfectly over the terminal. Nothing really showed up. I reversed it and tried it upside down. Still nothing that looked important. The only noticable thing was that the h (or a y I can't remember) intersected the center of the Iris symbol possibly forming a new symbol.

Either way I don't think theres much too it that we can interpret right now

Has anybody tried blowing out the contrast on the image, like they did to find the Schrodenger equation, and seeing if there's text encoded there?

If AR is the person in the transmissions which is basically confirmed, then he's a Forerunner. It adds up looking at what's available.

That last one kind of looks like Cortana is in the background. The bright spot in the middle is coming out of her face. Didn't one of the first halo 3 trailers have parts like that? I know Cortana was in one of them, but I don't remember if there was a flash.

Good call. I think there was a flash on one of the videos we kept arguing over. I'll see if I can do a screen capture.

I like how the background looks like a big iris with 'cortana' in the pupil. Neato

Negative. There was a picture in the original e32006 trailer, but it doesn't look anything like this. I couldn't do a screen capture because I could only find a .wmv and it's protected. I don't have the energy to convert it into a quicktime video.

I just watched the trailer I was talking about. The part with Cortana doesn't have a light but it does look like like when your getting a bad signal on TV. There are some flashes but it doesn't look like it could be the background for the trailer.

the sphere is 3d

the sphere in the middle right of the picture if you look closely at the schematics is a 3D design. looks like it is rising out of a cylinder.also if you look closely, the blue layer and the yellow layer are seperated. almost as if the blue layer revolves around the yellow layer....any of this sound familiar in the halo universe? i am an engineer so if you have anything you want me to review with terminal hit me up and I will take a look. ANYTHING. I am really into this thing now. Damn....
