 		looks to be a 16 point compass rose, not sure what the line would represent yet.

 		The compass:

The image is at http://thewaytheirworldended.com/PYXIS/strange-place.jpg


I can't make out much of the dialog in the new video, but it sounds like a conversation between two females, one young (Essy) and one older. And it sounds as though Essy is trying to "seek" the "darkness/blackness'.

I'm wondering if this "darkness" is the virus that's effecting the crew.

 		I'm seeing at least the word 'trap' in the strange-place image.

 		The picture on STRANGE-PLACE seems to look like either:
--A clock at 11:30.
--A compass?
--Dreamy Eyes' eye?

The video was really interesting...
I will analyze it at some point, but at the beginning it looks like the camera person is in the room where the LIBRA and SCORPIO pictures were taken.

As drizjr solved it:

Both a constellation, and a "Mariner's Compass".

I am a halo fan. I frequent the Bungie.net forums often. This intimation thing is stemmed from www.thewaytheirworldended.com. We are pretty sure this another one of bungie's ilovebees.com things. Everything is halo themed in one way or another. There is apparantly an A.I. that has gone rampant (again), and is holding its ship's crew/ passengers hostage without them knowing it. Every 5 days or so the A.I. comes out of hibernation and gives out another peice of information. So far it has been an interesting ride and I for one can't wait to find out what's really going on here.

Nice summary. Bungie have, however, stated it's not them. Wether that's misdirection or not remains to be seen. And we don't know that the AI is rampant, or indeed that it is holding the crew hostage. All we do know is that the ship dropped out of slipspace early, and woke some of the crew, though why that has happened still hasn't been established. The crew have isolated themselves, after being informed of a potential outbreak of a virus aboard the ship.

 		Hmmm...looking at the YouTube video again, it seems that Essy and someone else are talking, possibly arguing.

Furthermore, I noticed the camera seems to be panning around the room we've seen before (with a flashlight,) though it was hard to make out any recognizable landmarks.

Alarmingly, towards the end it appears that the cameraperson enters a door into an unilluminated room without shining the flashlight inside first, and Essy says something that sounds like "blackness," sounding somewhat distressed.

EDIT: A thought I had: Perhaps we are not to trust this older individual, who's pressing on into the "blackness?" Maybe it is a "trap" in there...

 		ilovebees was technically by 42entertainment, not bungie

and since bungie and microsoft broke up, bungie can safely justify that its not a bungie project but rather a microsoft one

Your right about the bungie saying its not them, but bungie has lied before. No recon, no lockout remake. I still say don't throw out the possibility of this being fueled by them.

Back to topic, has anyone been able to alter the sounds or anything for the video? I think whoever said that its the room we've already seen and that the camera is panning like a flash light is right. And if you listen carefully, you can hear a little girl yell "Sis!", or something similar at around 30 seconds earlier.

EDIT: Also, I just watched the video with it on High Quality. It does make the video worse, but watch where the flash light is, and you can see things in it a little better. Like a few distinctive shapes and figures in the room.

EDIT 2: Watch the video in regular quality, and you can kinda see an arrow at the bottom of the screen at around 16 seconds when the flash light beams in to that spot. HQ however is gonna be our best bet for seeing anything on the flashlight and around the room.

EDIT 3: Sorry about all teh edits, but I was looking at the other videos, and it looks like the description for keys has changed to:

 		Hmm... those two base64 strings contain the texts of our "graffiti" images -- "LEAVE ME ALONE," and "TRUST NOT HER" (basically, "DON'T TRUST HER" rephrased)

Also, "NOT A GOOD PLACE."

Now the ominous note is struck, and the conflict begins to show.

 		Nice job Nyst!
Keep up the good work guys.

Have any other communities been called on to help with this?
I hope we get more support.

Who is that guy that completed the London mission?

EDIT: The clip that Nyst got seems to be the clip a little after the first one we found, but before the one with the spaceship.
