In case no one already knows: I just had a 5 minute conversation with the person who answered at the phone number that was on the XBL account. I would say that this completely disproves the validity of that account. I called on my lunch break just now and got a voicemail. I couldnt really tell what was being said so i called back and this time a man answered. He said that if I was looking for Bungie or whatever to gio away. One of his friends posted his phone number because he had a RedvsBlue voicemail message and was playing a trick on him. He told me that he already contacted people at arg.bungie.org to let them know to stop calling. I told him how to navigate to this post but was unsure, so i said I'd pass on his information that he is not affiliated with whats going on.

What are we using as the chat room for this?

The XBox Live account FNC013575663331 has logged in recently and the profile changed slightly.

Before it had read Comm:6166342000
Then changed to Comm:6166342###
Now it reads Comm:6166342#7#

I'm not certain if that live account is actually part of this, but still kind of interesting to see it changing.

Reports from the first number have said that a person answered and was upset at all these strange calls. Another report said it was a hoax and his friend put the number online.

Wow! You guys have brought up some very interesting ideas since I first posted the thread. Excellent work!

I'm not sure if it's been posted, but an event relating to our good friend AdjuctantReflex is scheduled to happen at 1 AM PST. (That is 4 AM for you East Coasters in the U.S.A!) Hopefully there will be confirmation about which sites are indeed related to this ARG and which are not. (Bungie's forum has people finding ARGs that appear to be very very old, even claimed to not be involved with Bungie years ago, but that isn't stopping them.)

Heh heh, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the enthusiasm.

I wonder how crazy this will be, or if I will still be able to make a dent in my Netflix queue this summer ...

'sup.

Yeah the description does seem similar to the pictures of the ark that we have seen. About the control, the monitor (i think its guilty spark or whatever) states that in the event of a failure of the firing sequence all the other halos are ready for remote activation from the ark on earth. Actually since you seem to prefer to explore all the possibilities, all he sais is that halos can be fired remotely and it is heavily implied that it can be done from the ark on earth.

I must be an idiot or something, but uh could someone please describe how to get to the chat room.. it isn't working and I've tried multiple times.

[BluThundur]

Add to me to that list of ILB lurkers that has returned in hopes of another adventure.

I've got nothing better to do. I'll poke around tonight when the 38 hours is up and see what's what.

Yes, I was able to track down the transcript of that conversation. Thank you for the headsup.

Excerpt from http://halosm.bungie.org/story/halo2_level_transcripts/lv15_greatjourney.html detailing what the Ark contains:

"343 GUILTY SPARK:

Fail-safe protocol: in the event of unexpected shut-down, the entire system will move to standby status. All platforms are now ready for remote activation.

COMMANDER KEYES:

Remote activation? From here?

343 GUILTY SPARK:

Don't be ridiculous.

.......


COMMANDER KEYES:

Then where? Where would someone go to activate the other rings?

343 GUILTY SPARK:

Why... the Ark, of course.

The Arbiter approaches the trio from the shadows behind them to stand between Miranda and Johnson. Both humans look up at the Arbiter.

ARBITER:

And, where, Oracle, is that?

Cut to the Forerunner ship from High Charity emerging from slipspace into the space battle above Earth.

NAV OFFICER (radio):

We've got a new contact, unknown classification!

Cut to the Master Chief, braced against the side of the ship.

LORD HOOD (radio):

It isn't one of ours. Take it out!

MASTER CHIEF:

This is Spartan one-one-seven!

........


LORD HOOD:

Master Chief! You mind telling me what you're doing on that ship?!

MASTER CHIEF:

Sir. Finishing this fight."



Thanks to halo.bungie.org.

Apologies for putting in the end script as well. Too much of a Halo nut not to.
