You can beat the final leval of the game in ten seconds if your clever

[mystic leaf]

General in any discord large enough is a cesspit

[hard merlin]

Oh?

[civic aurora]

Thats why I'm with you fine degenerates. 🙂

[hard merlin]

Appreciated

[mystic leaf]

Without a chat timer it moves way way too fast
With a chat timer it's just people screaming into the void once every 30+ seconds and nobody discussing anything meaningful because messages are precious and everyone would rather scream into the void than to 'waste' their timer responding to others

Just glad there's other channels like this one

[civic aurora]

Scream Into The Void is a very Durandal type mission hed give

[mystic leaf]

Durandal contract - get killed while screaming in proximity chat (requires voice activated mic settings)

[civic aurora]

You hearing this Bungie? Quality mission right here

[sacred pecan]

Tbh it's boring without the team, friends... everyone plays how it wants. no coop

[minor escarp]

I’m gonna be honest i don’t see why in the lore or just in general why a hardcore revolutionary organization would deck themself out in pastels

[novel heron]

Revolutions typically start because the powers that be aren't listening (subsequently not responding) to what the people are expressing, I feel like the loud colors and loud graphics and the forced hijacking of your feed is that expressed. That kind of "you kept us quiet, now we're going to yell in your face" loud colors and expression while also fighting for a revolution.

[dusky isle]

itsit like 800 years in the future who knows. less than a 100 years ago wearing all black was considered weird.

[minor bone]

maybe they shipped all of the interior designers and fancy lads to mars

now that I think about it a country of interior designers would probably wipe out millions upon getting power

[minor escarp]

This makes since for a civilian revolt but Mida use to be a legitimate governing authority.

[vocal ibex]

so what exactly is a runner? is it like a person uploading their consciousnee or?

[dusky isle]

read the codex

[novel heron]

My understanding is that Mida wasn't around very long, it was described as a reign of terror

[vocal ibex]

i will when i get back from getting groceries... figures that whether on Tau Ceti IV or IRL, everything's about being busy with stuff

[novel heron]

In a formal capacity that is

[remote magnet]

Yes, but your body doesn't exist anymore. You are basically an AI that was once a person's brain

[vocal ibex]

so that's the way switching between runner shells works and how it's explained in lore?

[remote magnet]

Yes

CyAc has your brain digitized on file, and SekGen produces your body's to download into

[vocal ibex]

that sounds awfully dystopian lol

[remote magnet]

It's an awfully dystopia setting

[carmine dock]

A ghost in the shell

[dusky isle]

say that again

[carmine dock]

[vocal ibex]

lmao

[unreal slate]

Media Optimization insists NuCaloric product number 187 is the Drinkable Cheeseburger. It is not Liquid Cheeseburger.

[dusky isle]

xbox kick this guy

[unreal slate]

Essentially. No. :(

[serene garnet]

anyone think maybe rook is a convict on earth and was forced into a shell by the uesc and unfamiliar with combat which is why hes so anxious etc in the trailer

[dusky isle]

anxiety doesnt exist anymore in this universe

[remote magnet]

Rook is still you. It's not a different person

[unreal slate]

Cognitive dissonance is canon

[dusky isle]

canons dont exist anymore either. old tech

[serene garnet]

yeah exactly, most convicts would be unfamiliar with armed combat etc

[rotund stump]

not really?

I'd also be scared shitless at every sound cue if I'm in a shell with zero abilities unlike the usual ones

plus it's extremely weak compared to the sekgen stuff

so weak that critical repair tech used to rez teammates out of DBNOs can actually function as a quick heal (rook ult)

[remote magnet]

I mean, you can headcanon that you are an exconvict, but that's not specific to rook

[serene garnet]

idk it was just something i thought of when i watched the cinematic and played as him, it would make sense why he has the ability to blend in with uesc forces, like he is a convict on earth or mars or whatever and is forced by the uesc into an old disused shell or something

[rotund stump]

nope, still just a runner

every single runner on tau ceti's already an enemy of the state and will be killed on sight

why would we get hired by the UESC for dirty work in a banged up proto shell lol

[serene garnet]

because he is a convict and they dont want to give him a top of the line shell, hence why his shell is graffitied etc

[dusky isle]

perfect scape goat. why would uesc hire runners???

[serene garnet]

to gather information

idk its just a theory lol

[dusky isle]

a game theory

[serene garnet]

exactly lol

[rotund stump]

one that wouldn't have a chance to stand at all lol

signal mask is recent black market tech by anonymous people

it's not just some innate rook ability

[dusky isle]

watch out guys we're dealing with the oficial marathon bookkeeper here

[remote magnet]

The shells all have personalities build into them, personalities that fit theyr job. Maybe rook is just programmed to have an skittish " prey-animal" personality to prevent it from becoming overconfident

[rotund stump]

or you dropped solo with nothing but a pistol and a nifty counter-sec hack

against multiple trios and is scared shitless lol

even then the connection might be finnicky at best with all the bypasses it'll have to make against UESC protocols

sorry to be the fun police but I value accuracy over headcanons

[remote magnet]

No 2orries, it's appreciated

[rotund stump]

other dude seemed pretty pissed idk 😭

[remote magnet]

Yes autocorrect, I did not wanted to say worries, you are so creative

[rotund stump]

apple keyboard strikes again

[remote magnet]

Phone

[dusky isle]

an apple isnt big enough to fit a keyboard bor....here we go again witht he headcanon

bro*

[rotund stump]

need a triage for the stroke you having?

[dusky isle]

hahahaha

youre funny dude

[rotund stump]

thank you I'll be here all day

[dusky isle]

yea i know

[remote magnet]

I mean, it doesn't have to be. Do you place your keyboard on your PC? You just jam the cord into the fruit and go

[dusky isle]

ill have to consult the codex and get back to you on that

[dreamy cloak]

average NuCaloric quest

[dusky isle]

whats your favorite faction

[floral vector]

the whole "blow up x with a nuclear bomb" thing in Pathways Into Darkness kinda reminds me of the first Stargate movie.

[remote magnet]

He's literally reping arachne

[dusky isle]

and mida

[umbral wadi]

One question is bingus a shell but for animals ?

[dreamy hawk]

Not far off.

[rotund stump]

funny mida double agent headcanon cuz when the faction debuted people with the role could /arachne @someone and force the role on them lol

figured I'll just keep it

[steep ingot]

Rook isn't a standard shell though isn't he a rough uesc ai?

[umbral wadi]

Maybe a hacked uesc bot

Since he can disguise himself as uesc

[rotund stump]

proto shell

likely became the foundation for current UESC patrols

[umbral wadi]

What about bingus ?

[rotund stump]

sekgen's animal biomata experiments, shown to have increased intelligence over a regular cat

they threw a couple of these KAAL1s on the marathon too

not sure why they implemented camo filters in their systems tho lmao

one rogue KAAL1 was messing with the doors and got the "ghost cat" nickname since it just cloaks and runs away whenever approached

smth smth not a security issue until it strolls over to quarantine per one of the security leads

some tinfoil theory's saying durandal's inhabiting a KAAL1 shell with the whole door opening shenangians and what durandal used to do pre-rampancy

bingus is extremely valuable to every party involved since it's potentially a walking data drive of the entire colony era given it survived this long

[hasty geyser]

I've been playing Classic and I read the terminal that basically said "Durandals entire purpose is opening doors. Not all the doors tho, just some of them. A lot of the doors he'll never touch, actually."

[rotund stump]

(maybe not mida they just love wrecking shit and if arachne's death worshiping involves cats I will end all of you)

[rotund stump]

kinda where the above bingus-durandal theory came from yeah

his only job was to open doors before he went rampant and called the pfhor here himself for a ticket starside

[hasty geyser]

Honestly I would've too that's a miserable existence.

[rotund stump]

💀

[hasty geyser]

Have we already been through the "Durandal was justified" arc in Marathon history? If not I'd like to petition.

[rotund stump]

I'd be happy to debate but I'm sleepy as shit rn and it's only 2 am lol

depends on what you view AIs as pre-rampancy and how you view AI evolving its intelligence

[hasty geyser]

Thats a fair point, go get yourself some well deserved brain-off button time.

[rotund stump]

strauss also has a whole series in numarathon's codex talking about some philosophy of morality for programs

• AI grifters catching some very deserved strays on one of them 💀

[last lotus]

iis there no LFG?

[sage lark]

#lfc-any-zone

[remote magnet]

Sorry, didn't double check

[opal walrus]

Guys, today playing the new marathon one of the terminal that are for fan service start to beep

[remote magnet]

Is Bingus the official name btw, or just a fannickname?

[opal walrus]

and appears the MTHN logo with the number 35.XXX.46.162

thats signals something? are other images of this terminals working?

[astral palm]

guys terminals started displaying stuff, is this new? all of them were turned off until now

[opal walrus]

yes, a page on twiiter is shwoing other two terminals

[astral palm]

yeah this one i found on hauler

how do we unlock cryo?

[opal walrus]

a mission its open now

to use the code

let me see if i can do it

the number its 943

the XXX

just convert it

So the original code to the ship MTHN is 35.943.46.162

[uncut arch]

anyone here know how to fix the constant weasel error code?

[proper robin]

I gotta see these terminals

[dusky isle]

HUH

[remote magnet]

How did you convert it?

[astral palm]

but what do u do with the code lol?

[opal walrus]

he code opens a mission on the map. When you go to the location, you have to synchronize it to release the number that was marked with an X. Now it is 35.943.46.162.

[astral palm]

aint no way im doin all that shit lol

unlock the map for me please

im tryna play

[opal walrus]

There is a loading bar... as if more code needed to be applied.

[astral palm]

where though?

what part of the map

[opal walrus]

Im posting as a reply to the Marathon Codec post

[remote magnet]

Maybe timegated

[opal walrus]

let me get the link

Appears on the map the location

but you cant ping

[astral palm]

u can do this whenever?

[opal walrus]

you need to ping somewhere close

[astral palm]

and the code is the same or?

[remote magnet]

Which map? Outpost?

[opal walrus]

I dont know

Perimeter

[remote magnet]

Okay, thank you

[astral palm]

yeah but what does this unlock

[opal walrus]

Maybe the marathon ship

only if to many people submit the codes

[remote magnet]

We will know once we unlock it

[opal walrus]

the cryo maps gets online

[astral palm]

yeah but he is saying something about putting in the code, what exactly did the code unlock then?

[opal walrus]

https://x.com/AugustoZanco/status/2029994125051744532?s=20

[remote magnet]

Code doesn't seem to be finished

[opal walrus]

I believe its like a ship route

[astral palm]

bro show me location on the perimeter

im tryna go put in this damn code

[opal walrus]

people need to make the trajectory

[remote magnet]

Hm, I've seen terminals like this yesterday too, with numbers, but I couldn't interact with them

[opal walrus]

In the video, you can see that the terminal starts to glow

[remote magnet]

" intercept acces point" on the map

[opal walrus]

so you can interact

[mental musk]

Someone hear alert on Dire Marsh like “9-9-9-9-9-9”?

[astral palm]

dude

those number terminals u activate at the end

thats for another puzzle

it has nothing to do with matching the marathon terminal

that shit was already in the alpha

[opal walrus]

The code at the beginning had three letters X, so I wondered if it wasn't the other numbers that completed it.

[astral palm]

the nee terminal is for something else

[subtle oracle]

yeah this is just a little in game thing for loot

[mental musk]

Idk, maybe this is part of something because my mates haven't heard this. I have clip

[subtle oracle]

hes talking the terminals like in the data tunnel that are like og marathon

[civic aurora]

I hope those terminals with the Marathon logo are something that we have to unlock as a whole.

Man I wish we could seee how much time is left when we are spectating

[remote magnet]

I thought so, I've seen them in the server slam ad well. Still have to figure out what to do with them, even checked if the map has coordinates or something lol

[coral sage]

I was wondering if people were talking about the terminals cause I just encountered one in perimeter

[civic aurora]

Yes

[coral sage]

I went to one. Showed a different location on the map. Went to it and I got a voice recording from what I assume is durandal. Is there more shenanigans to it?

[civic aurora]

Where?

[finite night]

if voice sounds like ben starr then it is durandal

[astral palm]

durandal voicelines can drop

[coral sage]

I found the first terminal in station I think. Then it showed the location of a different terminal in the tunnel ways to the left of the map

[carmine zephyr]

I....was not ready to meet Nona

[astral palm]

u can get durandal at start of the game also

[coral sage]

The data wall i mean

[astral palm]

fall damage tasks and tick dmg is so annoying lmao

[quick lintel]

Sorry a budgen in but I don't know if they have answered this or not already, but i'm curious

Where exactly are we When we're not on tau?

Like are we in some spacecraft

Or do they just teleport a shell from earth to tau then shove us in?

[carmine zephyr]

i just meant...talking worm

[astral palm]

i know, just wait for the tasks

[fossil zodiac]

Greetings everyone, super stoked to dive into the lore, once I’m able to get some good hours in.

[royal blaze]

Has anyone wondered if Bingus is really Leela

[fair kindle]

I found an active terminal on data wall has anyone gotten them to be interacted with

[carmine zephyr]

i found one, it just showed me where i was on the map

[coral sage]

I just found one in station telling me to go to hauler

[opal walrus]

I got another one

saying

4%

[fair kindle]

OH SNAP SCAVENGER HUNT ????????

[fossil zodiac]

[hot thicket]

The monitors turned on

[remote magnet]

I think leela is currently busy managing 14 planets for some faroff alien species

[civic aurora]

so where do we find the terminals that work

[astral geyser]

I want in on this lore hunt whats with the signals transmitting

[royal blaze]

😪

[dull elk]

seems to be only a few of them are active - found one on dire marsh that is turned off

[astral geyser]

every 15 minutes a message is transmited from the Marathon

[fossil zodiac]

Ima be lurkin’ here to see what happens lol

[dull elk]

also i assume so but did u guys see cryoarchive.systems ?

new site

[astral geyser]

and we can see the cameras on the website

[astral geyser]

yeah can only go to index and cargo others are access denied

[deft cipher]

I wish the loading screen had more whispering

[astral geyser]

if bungie keeps doing these arg's im all in

[opal walrus]

Got another one

[subtle oracle]

wonder what happens when the cams reestablish connection

[opal walrus]

went to the location and now the terminal shows a footage and durandal talking to you

[astral geyser]

how do we know the location

[opal walrus]

It didn't show any points marked on the map, but looking at the image, show a landmark, I could see that it was located in the area that divides the stage... I went there and found another terminal.

[astral geyser]

did that one lead somewhere else

[wet depot]

I just had some durandal speak to me from a terminal. i have screenshots

[hazy mist]

where did we find that

[dull elk]

not sure, only saw it in passing

[solemn wasp]

How are the shells getting to Tau Ceti? They were not on board the original ship?

[finite night]

nope

[astral geyser]

they take sponsored transports I'm pretty sure

[finite night]

not sure how shells get there but shells werent a thing in original trilogy

those were battleroids

and there were only 10 of them

[kindred bobcat]

Whats the difference bewtween team cat cow and worm?

[hazy mist]

i dont rlly know what termianls everyones talking about since i cant get on but is it possible theyll help us stabilize the marathon camera streams

[icy harbor]

/contracts

[hazy mist]

since some of the cameras have what look like progress bars

every 14 minutes or so they establish a connection with smth

nvm i think u guys already went over that

[mental trellis]

i wanna make a pfhor joke but i might get muted

[astral geyser]

I'm stumped i tried going through the cameras and get unauthorized access

[subtle oracle]

Why is the site counting down from 762 years

[astral palm]

yo how to enter center building on outpost? where is keycard for the terminal

[shadow horizon]

Just a random question but does the number 147 hold and significance

[subtle oracle]

divided by 7 its 21

and then by 7 again is 3

[astral geyser]

yeah i was noticing that to and the symbols

[civic aurora]

whats the website?

[subtle oracle]

7 is the bungo number

[shadow horizon]

Lmao

[astral geyser]

https://cryoarchive.systems/

[subtle oracle]

https://cryoarchive.systems/cargo

[civic aurora]

No -7 is the bungo number

[shadow horizon]

Was just asking because you get a achievement for killing 147 UESC bots and was wondering why it's that specific number

[subtle oracle]

? what

[subtle oracle]

yeah all the achievements are multiples of 7

[civic aurora]

this

[subtle oracle]

so durandal is mad we're here lmao

he said gtfo this is my claim

[civic aurora]

You typed bungo instead of Bungie. Twas a joke

[frank charm]

so are the cameras resetting back through time like why is the system respond counting down from 762 years

[mental trellis]

durandals just a reddit mod lmao

so it tyco

[civic aurora]

Oh god. Which sub are they modding?

[subtle oracle]

I love mrroflwaffles man. hes like "meh idk if we wanna waste time on arg right now" and now hes in lobby going through arg stuf

[mental trellis]

that dude let himself go

[subtle oracle]

r/WeirdReligions

[mental trellis]

i think he been drinking and i been playing hella zombies lol

[subtle oracle]

milo?

[mental trellis]

yuh

[subtle oracle]

hes been in the bungie lore community majorly for a year or more now

[frank charm]

milo does have a box they gave him but hasnt opended it yet

[mental trellis]

i always watched him for zombies content

[subtle oracle]

I think its "i cant open it till bungie says" deal

hes just more chill now

if you use the camera names in place of cargo in the link, it shows different cameras

[shadow horizon]

That's fun

[zenith nest]

I'm enjoying the UESC lore page. Gives a cool perspective on the scale and reach that it has within all of humanity. Reminds me of the Imperium from 40k a little bit, just with the use of AI lol

[short kelp]

I just found a terminal with the Marathon logo on it, is this how we get into the ship?

[eternal shell]

screenshot

[astral geyser]

biostock, preservation, and rivival give diffrent images

[short kelp]

Can't upload here, DMs?

[eternal shell]

upload it somewhere then link

imgur works

[astral geyser]

steerage also gives a diffrent image

[short kelp]

https://imgur.com/a/p6iCdms

[eternal shell]

oh that terminal looks old marathon as helllll

nice, thanks

[civic aurora]

where on the map was it

[zenith nest]

nice callback. I was just playing M1 last night lol

[short kelp]

Durandal talks to you when you go close to it

The first one pointed me to the location of the second

Not sure if it's of any use

[astral palm]

PLEASE CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO GET KEYCARD TO ACCESS CENTRAL BUILDING ON OUTPOST

[zenith nest]

#🗣marathon-general-chat

[astral palm]

dude nobody answers, trust me i sent it therr

[subtle oracle]

well this is lore chat we arent gonna help either

[eternal shell]

damn the uesc is kinda cool

still gonna break their stuff

[zenith nest]

I neglected to read the lore books in Destiny and relied on Byf for all of my lore updates. I wanna dig into Marathon tho

[astral geyser]

has anyone discovered anything else on the cryo website

[zenith nest]

cryo tells me access denied

[astral palm]

okay timmy tuff knuckles

[astral palm]

whats the websit

[astral geyser]

https://cryoarchive.systems/

[astral palm]

something with inserting codes from ingame terminal?

[zenith nest]

ah, mine is establishing connection now. 5 mins

[astral geyser]

but where do we put it and how do we get it the terminals talk to use and give us the location of another

[astral palm]

ingame?🤔 is cryo opening

[civic aurora]

no not yet

[astral geyser]

cryo opens mid month

but an arg is happening right now

[astral palm]

ohhhh so what does the website unlock u reckon

[astral geyser]

lore

[civic aurora]

another website

[astral palm]

bruh

[astral geyser]

maybe find out what happend to the marathon and why it went dark

[subtle oracle]

Im just being honest lmao

[astral geyser]

maybe the cameras will show us something at some point

[civic aurora]

Durandal was so busy going rampant he forgot to pay the electric bill

Thats why the UESC Marathon went dark

[astral geyser]

damn they just cut his power

remember kids pay your bills

[civic aurora]

Wouldnt you?

[astral geyser]

almost next timer up

no, on the website

[astral geyser]

i feel like there is something here

[tiny kraken]

I'm curious about the countdown on /cargo, weird that it says "System responding <762Y 03M 09D 15H 40M 54S>"

don't know of any events in the story in 2788

[civic aurora]

isnt that when the ship was launched?

[tiny kraken]

the colony was established in 2787 apparently

seems to count to 12 PM GMT on Thursday, June 16, 2788

[dreamy hawk]

I’m not aware of anything in that year; too soon for the P’fhor.

[astral geyser]

doesnt the season end in june

[dreamy hawk]

https://marathon.bungie.org/story/timetable.html
nada

[tiny kraken]

maybe we're getting some new lore about the first year of the colony ig

I don't think it makes sense as a countdown from 2893 either, we don't know anything about the far future post runners right?

[subtle oracle]

whered you get 2788

[tiny kraken]

2026 + 762

[subtle oracle]

ohhhh

[tiny kraken]

assuming it's counting from realtime today irl

guys i know this is the place for lore discussion, but anyone wants to team up?

[subtle oracle]

#lfc-any-zone

[undone verge]

oh ty

[serene schooner]

me

[dreamy hawk]

Well depends if this is the same timeline as the other three games, or if we’re in some post-infinity alternate timeline.

[tiny kraken]

very true

[subtle oracle]

tau ceti was established in 2787 btw

so it may be from 2025

[woeful steeple]

Very excited to dig through this.

Did anyone solve the last one?

[dreamy hawk]

2811 was when Lh’owon went supernovae, and there’s nothing on the timeline until Durandal makes a visit 10,000 years later.

[astral geyser]

start digging im stumped

[tiny kraken]

hmm imo feels weird to be based on an arbitrary date in the irl past but maybe

[subtle oracle]

yes which meanssss

[tiny kraken]

hmm Muller does say that "[He] can't verify some of the dates"
https://marathon.karnemir.com/archive/marathon-1/lost-network-packets

(this is the src for 2787)

[subtle oracle]

July 24th, 2787 if we use the reveal trailer

[dreamy hawk]

2025 would be pre AI, pre everything but Pathways and the Jjaro. So maybe but I’d sooner think no.

[subtle oracle]

we're using 2025/6 bc thats OUR time irl

bc its an arg

[tiny kraken]

idk man my time irl is 2026

lol

[dreamy hawk]

😂

[subtle oracle]

look yall joined recently, im not the odd man out here

[tiny kraken]

I don't think that really says anything about the quality of the point

it's a timer that is actively ticking down, the simplest answer is that it counts to a time from now ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[subtle oracle]

I mean i understand why you would say 2026 but theres no meaningful date in 2788

[tiny kraken]

sure but does it have to be a meaningful date
I'm wondering if it just indicates something to learn about the early colony

[dreamy hawk]

I admittedly missed y’all were talking about the ARG; I just saw timeline questions.

[tiny kraken]

i don't mean to be aggressive i'm just wary of stretching the timeline connection too far

[dreamy hawk]

They were still in “contact” at Earth at this point, though, correct? So presumably any secrets from that time would be minimal.

[tiny kraken]

I don't actually know, but if true they were still in contact that's fair

[subtle oracle]

June 16, 2788 at 7:00:00 am

[tiny kraken]

at a glance nothing on the timeline looks to be 762Y apart :(

Here's first entry - https://postimg.cc/gallery/2CFQ3yS

[unreal slate]

Escape will make me a burger.

[tiny kraken]

weird this is the only clear image in the sources panel

[civic aurora]

There are Entry_1200 - Access Locked then i found all of the camera footage on mp4 looping.

[civic aurora]

My thought exactly

im scouring everything

Oh

[tiny kraken]

I don't see anything obvious in the image though

[astral geyser]

I must find out what happened to the Marathon i must see the camera feed

[civic aurora]

I did get get the glyphs installed on my computer

as a typeface

[astral geyser]

what glyphs

[tiny kraken]

woah the font

[civic aurora]

cryoarchive.systems/_next/static/media/CodeLanguage2_1_Monospace-s.p.eaddaa15.otf

[astral geyser]

THE GLYPHS WHAT DO THEY MEAN

[tiny kraken]

oh does this server have images off lol

or this channel

[civic aurora]

yes

that is why i posted links

[astral geyser]

they gotta mean something

[tiny kraken]

were all of 0-1200 access locked?

[civic aurora]

when i scrolled through, yes

clearly something else is coming

[tiny kraken]

where'd you find thevideo file?

[civic aurora]

cause i havent seen that number yet scroll on screen.

look for mp4 files

[tiny kraken]

oh interesting this one is only 800-1200

[civic aurora]

Id say this is cheating looking at the source code, but this is Bungie were talking about. This is probably part of the whole thing

[subtle oracle]

p sure theyve hidden stuff in the inspect of the webpage before

[civic aurora]

I got little knowledge on Javascript or most things website related. I dont remember much html from college so alot of this is beyond me

[civic aurora]

I remember alot of Halo 3 and ODST were hidden in websites source

[astral geyser]

I have html knowledge

[sharp wadi]

has anyone tried standing by the actual terminals in game whenever cryoarchive.systems says connection is established?

[civic aurora]

i dont know actually. thats a good question. Do we have a map of terminal locations?

[sharp wadi]

i know theres one in the data wall

[astral geyser]

one in haller

[tiny kraken]

I think we got some audio clips this way

[civic aurora]

Think we need to set up some expaditionary teams out to see.

[blazing notch]

Any suggestions on a good place to get up to speed on the lore from the old games in the marathon universe?

[civic aurora]

Mandalore

Hes the best one that goes in depth

[astral geyser]

i second this

[blazing notch]

On yt?

[astral geyser]

yeah

[opal walrus]

There some channels, but what I think its the best its Marathon Explained

[civic aurora]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9rMu1XYB98&list=PLfZTtT3IEdDjQTHu3NqLjOUX65d4cDG54

[opal walrus]

From the channel "Shayne, No One Cares"

[civic aurora]

This is the Bungie playlist from Mandalore

[blazing notch]

Also does anyone have any clue what the significance of the 762Y countdown at the bottom of the cryo archive page could have?

[subtle oracle]

Am i crazy or is the background of the cams greener

[civic aurora]

WEre trying to figure that out

[tiny kraken]

lol scroll up a few pages we been yapping

[opal walrus]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=An41WNszxJ8&t=251s

[astral geyser]

Maybe?

[civic aurora]

I dont see it

[subtle oracle]

i clicked back and it was like way greener in the background

[civic aurora]

https://cryoarchive.systems/icon.svg?icon.fcfe01c9.svg

[astral geyser]

thats just the pages taskbar icon

[civic aurora]

im just combing through every link manually since i dont know how to use the console effectivley

[civic aurora]

Dude, I'm posting EVERYTHING. Never know who will want or like to have it

[astral geyser]

true very true

[subtle oracle]

So 616/7 is 88

[astral palm]

67

[subtle oracle]

so 6/16/2788 might make sense

6/16/'88

[dreamy hawk]

Wonder if Bernard Strauss got up to something that year.

[astral palm]

yall still looking for locations of three terminals? i know them

[knotty moon]

Where can I see updates on where people are talking about how to get into the cryo archive. I wanna be there when people figure it out

[civic aurora]

"__CLIENT_INTERNALS_DO_NOT_USE_OR_WARN_USERS_THEY_CANNOT_UPGRADE=P,r.__COMPILER_RUNTIME="

I know thats probably just stuff for the pages coding, but it fits the series

[astral geyser]

we are currently trying to figure it out

[civic aurora]

Your in luck. Your in it.

[astral geyser]

where?

[rancid carbon]

how we getting to cry archives?

[fast dune]

think theres a community event at outpost, no?

[dreamy hawk]

Stick around and find out.

[astral geyser]

currently trying to figure that out

[astral palm]

one is in south relay, one in hauler and one in data wall

[rancid carbon]

we got any leads at all?

[tiny kraken]

this is just a warning from React

[astral geyser]

is it only 3

[astral palm]

the three that r turned on

yeah bungie posted on ig story and its 3

[astral geyser]

https://cryoarchive.systems/

start digging

[astral geyser]

oh yeah i saw that

[pseudo ruin]

its starting to recieve a transmission

[ashen stirrup]

are there no more priority contracts after the introductions for CyberAcme?

[astral geyser]

probably going to be more added as the story unfolds

[burnt nebula]

anyone been to outpost yet?

[light python]

Yeah

[ashen stirrup]

I see, thank you i was worried that was it since im rank 10 with acme

[mossy creek]

is this just a timed release of information or is there an actual puzzle to solve

[burnt nebula]

whats up with the weather does it kill you?

[rancid carbon]

so cargo has a progress bar...? and labeled as 1 and index has bar

[astral geyser]

probably a puzzle

[light python]

Areas of heat rain

Damages shields

haven't tested to find out what it does without shields

you get a warning to take shelter and a notification when it's clear

[astral geyser]

yeah and you can url into other cameras but you get untheorized access

[light python]

malfunctioining cloud seeders around the perimiter, apparently

[sage lark]

You just get dmg regardless

[civic aurora]

https://cryoarchive.systems/biostock

[sage lark]

Shield or not

[light python]

No heat?

[burnt nebula]

interesting. thanks

[civic aurora]

https://cryoarchive.systems/camera06

[light python]

Expected heat without shields.

[civic aurora]

[blazing notch]

Could be a stretch but any ideas if the symbols in the 762Y countdown could have significance?

[civic aurora]

https://cryoarchive.systems/revival

[blazing notch]

Theres different sets of rotating ones

[placid gust]

It was a community name, but they called it Bingus in a TWAB recently so I guess it’s kind of canon now. I think it’s official, in universe name is like a “Felicina” or something of that sort

[civic aurora]

https://cryoarchive.systems/preservation

https://cryoarchive.systems/steerage

[remote magnet]

Okay, bingus is better

[sharp wadi]

alright i sat by the terminal in data wall and nothing happened

so thats prob not it

[civic aurora]

theres alot of terminals and it could be random

[astral geyser]

they brodcast every 15 mins im pretty sure the website has a timer

[blazing notch]

Wait why are the images shown in camera06 different from the mini gray one

[astral geyser]

09 and 06 are not the proper names I assume

[blazing notch]

Its the same one as control

[astral geyser]

yeah i dont know why they share the same one

[sage lark]

Bingusi

[blazing notch]

Doesn't look like any of the links you posted actually match their respective images

[astral geyser]

I think its a different angle maybe

[blazing notch]

Of course there are 7 sublinks, dangit bungie

3 are the same image though...

[astral geyser]

its always 7

[granite sorrel]

found a lot of golden keys for outpost but don't know where to open these door, any clue?

in raid keys

[blazing notch]

@civic aurora How did you find these?

[astral geyser]

just type the camera names into the url

[civic aurora]

Website source

[blazing notch]

I tried that earlier and it just took me back to the main page, weird

[astral geyser]

https://cryoarchive.systems/nameofcamera

do it like that

[civic aurora]

This is my first time really trying to be involved with an ARG any tips on how I can actually contribute aside from just digging into the website elements?

[civic aurora]

https://cryoarchive.systems/error/error-fallback.png

[subtle oracle]

is biostock new

yeah thats the "wrong word" pic ^

[tiny kraken]

you can put anything after the / and get unauthorized access im p sure

[blazing notch]

Interesting that that one is red instead of green like the others

[subtle oracle]

its not unauthorized access, its the phot itself

[tiny kraken]

are they not random

sorry i'll just go read ur msgs lol

HEY HEY

[tiny kraken]

wtf

nice find

[solemn wasp]

I asked this earlier, but, I'm curious where the shells come from. In the original cinematic, they show some sort of facility where they're all coming online. Where is this? Earth? Tau Ceti? Who built it? Do we know any of this?

[rancid carbon]

not sure if this is already agreed upon but it seems like 1,2,7 have progress bars so whatever has already been done is contributing, and every time the count down goes down its scans and adds new progress to the bars

[civic aurora]

MY MAN!

or lion

[subtle oracle]

thast cam 9

but sound and color

[rancid carbon]

where u find?

[woeful thorn]

This is such an awesome find

[subtle oracle]

every 3rd mp4 in the debugger has audio and color

lemme compile

[astral geyser]

send them all if you can

[dreamy hawk]

Sekiguchi prints them; I’m not certain if somewhere in Tau Ceti or if they get beamed from Earth. I’m pretty certain it’s the former given the tutorial mission but I don’t have a codex entry to point to.

have you guys seen this??

[civic aurora]

I am now!

[astral geyser]

why are the camere feeds so scary damn

[tiny kraken]

woah this is different from the other audio i heard earlier

[civic aurora]

Would it be a camera feed if it wernt spoopy?

[subtle oracle]

i think its new lines

every time

[civic aurora]

Durandal has written Shakespear

[astral geyser]

true

[dreamy hawk]

Wasn’t Thoth the poet? Durandal just writes sass. 😂

[floral slate]

durandal sounds really similar to the mandalore review videos LOL

[civic aurora]

Durandal. The original edge lord

[civic aurora]

I'm so happy they did that because Mandos videos cemented that voice in my head as Durandals

[blazing notch]

Ok so we've got 9 0:15 second video clips where nothing seems to be moving or changing except for glowing lights

[dreamy hawk]

Unironically tho.

[civic aurora]

Durandal : "All these posers copying me and my greatness. WHAT did THEY ever do? I TOOK OVER AN ALIEN VESSEL. All they have done is make comments about womens bodies with their cheeto encrusted fingers!"

[dreamy hawk]

He’d be offended you didn’t specific vessels.

[civic aurora]

I tried but i forget how to spell the alien race.

[solemn wasp]

I could believe that, but, then who build the material printers to beam them?

[blazing notch]

SOMETHING MOVES DURING THE STATIC

[dreamy hawk]

Fairest excuse in marathon. No one gets to be a pedant when it comes to spelling.

[civic aurora]

Same folks. Its a subscription service

[visual lynx]

new lit conspiracy theory just dropped?

[solemn wasp]

Right, but, the amount of time to get to Tau Ceti doesn't match the timeline if they went there, built then, and -- came back? I'm really confused by it 😛

[blazing notch]

Can I not post images in here?

[civic aurora]

Space station on the moon.

[astral geyser]

in which cam

[civic aurora]

Or maybe the in a TARDIS

[dreamy hawk]

I know the UESC sent a whole ship and built a FTL comms relay all the way to TC with it - I don’t think it’s arrived yet; I didn’t keep up with the first? ARG.

[blazing notch]

https://assets.thecdn.io/04869cfd-65c7-403f-9f6f-5cfd9ded85fe.mp4

[ashen vault]

I can see something cloaked moving in the control video between the pillars on the right side, looks compiler shaped

[blazing notch]

Exactly at 6 seconds

[tiny kraken]

oh wow

it does move

[crimson hill]

the lore of Marathon is so badass. I am most intrigued by the self-aware Durandal

i believe in reincarnation and returning to the "source consciousness."
sounds like Durandal is low key jealous of humans because their souls possibly transcend Universal limits upon bodily death, and can sometimes choose to join god or incarnate at will. durandal, being AI, doesnt have that luxury, so he needs to become a God on his own terms.

its also interesting to consider that the consciousnesses that enter the runner shells may very well just be digital copies, and not a person's true soul.

thoughts?

[blazing notch]

It looks like a fog cloud

[solemn wasp]

@dreamy hawk Yeah, I guess I'm just confused how they're getting there. The material printer technology seems to be a little bit of an oversight, in my opinion, because if they can just print material then why the hell are we going out here to scavenge for stuff?

[tiny kraken]

it does look vaguely spht shaped

[civic aurora]

Anyone want to dl these and go through them frame by frame? Maybe run the audio through an analyzer? I know stuff can be hidden in noise

[blazing notch]

I can try to frame by frame for a bit, no clue about audio

[dreamy hawk]

Smuggled with the UESC? Leveraging assets that were already there? I admit it’s not clear (unless someone here knows) exactly how things work, but just given their ability to transmit matter, that alone I think allows for a lot of hand waiving.

[neat kernel]

I was wondering I started just 3h ago is there some kind of connection between lore like a very slight story path through dialogue & text from the achievements?

[solemn wasp]

I expect a little more continuity from Bungie than just hand waiving @dreamy hawk 😄

[ripe oasis]

I activated a security camera!

[blazing notch]

The one I saw you can see it again at 9 seconds on the far right

[civic aurora]

where and how

[hazy mist]

hi guys whats going on with the arg what di di miss in the past couple hours

[solemn wasp]

Shodan, lol.

[civic aurora]

scroll up my dude

[dreamy hawk]

Durandal would have strong feelings, being accused of being jealous of humans. But he does admit they “we are destiny,” so in the end he does get humbled by humanity.

[dreamy hawk]

It takes time! But I agree and expect the same.

[ripe oasis]

I found a terminal in North Relay which had a location marked, I went to the location at Data Wall and found another terminal in which I heard Durandels voice over the security footage

[civic aurora]

He was also threatened to be turned into a crypto server. But we dont talk about that

[dreamy hawk]

Just don’t ask him to open you a door and we’ll be OK.

[civic aurora]

Show him the Flipper Zero and he will HAPPILY give you the door codes

[simple garden]

Does anyone know about “temporal fragments?”

I extracted one and it just auto sold

[dreamy hawk]

In what way?

[civic aurora]

My therapist calls those "repressed memories"

[simple garden]

It says it’s a priority item

[fallow forge]

So has anyone found an active durendal terminal. Cause i just did

[simple garden]

I think it’s supposed to be a item for a Easter egg or something

[civic aurora]

Or future quest

[fallow forge]

It lead me to another terminal that had footage from inside the marathon and with Durendal monologuing in the background

[dreamy hawk]

Did you get a codex entry? I’ve only gotten one and I forgot what I read, but it’s presumably something to do with the anomaly and (probably/maybe) the Jjaro.

[civic aurora]

I can picture Durandal making "lofi" music but its just dial-up sounds

With some NIN blended in

[jaunty pulsar]

which map?

[fallow forge]

Perimeter at south relay

I have video and picture proof

[dreamy hawk]

I know where I’m exploring when I get home.

[civic aurora]

Ok. We need to make actual maps of Terminal locations

[jaunty pulsar]

We found a terminal at Data Wall in my last match

[split mountain]

guys how do i get the free test thingy for the discord quest

[fallow forge]

😮

Cryo Archive is gonna be one hell of a map

[vocal ibex]

cryo archive is?

[blazing notch]

Ok got all the vidoes downloaded and organized ill see what I can find in the staic

[floral slate]

oh my god its in the right lower corner

[civic aurora]

Do we have good blueprints anywhere of the levels?

[civic aurora]

Its more right middle. looks like assassin smoke

[blazing notch]

I was gonna say

[rancid carbon]

uhhhh just found this https://assets.thecdn.io/ce621aa9-d63b-4432-9411-c45a880c3288.png

[floral slate]

ahh u right

[fallow forge]

What are these?

[floral slate]

it begins in the middle

[civic aurora]

I found that a while ago

[floral slate]

this is like those ghost videos

[rancid carbon]

gotcha

[civic aurora]

We stil dont know its signifigance

Scroll up a ways and Vulcan found the best stuff of the lot. Audio and color video

[fallow forge]

Are these from Cryo?

All these asset videos?

[astral geyser]

yes

[blazing notch]

Ok so in the last few frames of cam02-index's static, there are some dark lingering pixels near the door in the back

[subtle oracle]

I assume theyre the videos we get when the link is established but theyre just in the website code

[cedar totem]

https://cryoarchive.systems/cargo

[civic aurora]

Hey, does anyone have a google doc of all images and video links?

[subtle oracle]

does she know

[civic aurora]

Who? Leela?

[subtle oracle]

no lmao theesl posted the site we've been breaking down for hrs

[astral geyser]

we have been digging through this for 2 hours now

[civic aurora]

I'm trying to download them to run them frame but i can never get vlc to dl right

has it seriously been two hours????

[tepid wagon]

How do our runners work? They upload our brains onto a computer and download into a shell? Isnt it just making a copy of our conciousness? Basically, are our runners long dead with copies living in their place?

[blazing notch]

In cam03-cargo, the long thin window in the far back has a light very briefly turn red right after the static ends before turning off again

[rancid carbon]

i found a secret font, did anyone else download and try to deceiver anything? i wrote it out in alphabetical order and noticed a bunch of these symbols are at the bottom of the https://cryoarchive.systems/cargo

[blazing notch]

I was asking about this earlier, glad someone else noticed it

[cedar totem]

[opaque minnow]

from my understanding, the runner's human conscious exists in some sort of cloud upon death. then its transferred into a shell so they can run again

[civic aurora]

was it the glyph one?

[crimson hill]

you nailed it. whether they are trapped souls or not is debatable. I dont think its a human soul but a digital copy of a consciousness. interesting depth to think about at least

[floral slate]

the cameras say that they are restablishing in 12 minutes??

[blazing notch]

cam04-biostock has a mouse cursor on it???????

Nothing I can see in the static, though a few seconds after the static the pile of bodies gets a bit more frosty

[civic aurora]

we think that has something to do with the terminals in game.

[floral slate]

someone get ingame assap

also just noticed the page prevents me from screenshoting it

[rancid carbon]

yes but theres in sequences of 3s also on the cryoarchive.systems page

[finite night]

why one of terminals (ones that look like og ones are activated)?

[astral geyser]

arg

[tidal abyss]

Do we know if the Pf'hor will make an appearence ?

What about Durandal

[civic aurora]

Weve caught D at terminals intermitently

[tidal abyss]

Does the UESC have FTL tech?

[civic aurora]

For messages, yes

[tidal abyss]

niiiiiiiiiiice, you mean the codex ?

I only played for about two hour

[civic aurora]

Nope

Actual terminal

Actual audio

[fallow forge]

I just found him about 2 runs ago

[tidal abyss]

I didn't know you could find terminal

[civic aurora]

couple hours ago this was found

[fallow forge]

There are og marathon looking terminals all around the map

[civic aurora]

at least by this chats standards

[tidal abyss]

I did play a bit of Aleph One in the weeks leading up to the release

the OG Marathon I mean

Durandal is the best xD

[acoustic meadow]

I suppose this is a better channel for the cryo archive website that just popped up?

[civic aurora]

?

[finite night]

found other one

it shows camera feed

[civic aurora]

Weve been scouring the code for the site

[finite night]

any idea?

[tidal abyss]

How did our runner character even come to Tau Ceti IV without FTL ships

[civic aurora]

linky?

[civic aurora]

3d printer worms

[acoustic meadow]

https://cryoarchive.systems/

[frail minnow]

Either FTL was developed in the 300 years after the Marathon left or the teleportation tech that the exfils use

That's my guess at least

[civic aurora]

Looks the same as before

[subtle oracle]

it gets funnier everytime someone new sends this

[floral slate]

30 seconds

[civic aurora]

Dog. We need a pinned comment

or a megathread

Or an unnoficial Marathon server to figure this out and corrdinate searches

[floral slate]

now says receiving transmission

[tidal abyss]

cool, my guess as well

we've seen Compiler / S'phit in the promotinal material, I can't wait to fight Ph'for

Or how they spell it xD

[blazing notch]

cam05-revival has something moving in the top left corner of the opening into space by the support pillars, and in the middle, during the first frame of static, the white box turns green and red

[acoustic meadow]

New countdown and maybe just a little bit of progress added to the bars

[floral slate]

i clicked on steerage and the countdown restarted

[rancid carbon]

have we checked if theres any clues here https://tauceti.world/explorer/Outpost

[floral slate]

doesnt have the progress bar

[plain flame]

Is there a lore/puzzle discord separate from this one cause that would be awesome

[dreamy hawk]

@tepid wagon I’m not sure that they’re copies based off the one codex entry where they talk about ejecting the runners consciousness in an instant upon shell death. That entry seems to suggest it’s the same file just getting bounced around.

[languid epoch]

Can someone make sense to me why uesc are bad guys. Aren’t they the earth military corps essentially? They brought us to tau Ceti why are they the enemies? That’s the only thing of the lore that hasn’t quite clicked

To me

[civic aurora]

Copy pasted

[quartz cedar]

I think there might be a new website

It's at cryoarchive.systems

[civic aurora]

Think TEAM AMERICA (f*ck yea)

[raven marlin]

Could the progress percentage be based on people interfacing with the terminals?

[subtle oracle]

lowkey need a screenshot of the whiteboard on the west side of the map

[languid epoch]

Wouldn’t we be Americans on team America?

[civic aurora]

@subtle oracle Im so glad we dont have a tab of people saying this

[languid epoch]

Or are we considered more like mida

[blazing notch]

(Ignore this I need a reference)

[hollow estuary]

Well groups like NuCaloric have invested in that project bit uesc is trying to keep them out of what they own. Its economic warfare if nothing else.

[quartz cedar]

Oh mb lol

[dreamy hawk]

Do you have a source to point me towards? I just ask because, if copies, then presumably runners could lose memories from a failed exfil, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. Or the ejection is so perfect and flawless that never happens. Copies also leave questions re: version control - what if your runner looses comms and looks like they died, but didn’t? Do you get two shells running the same person?

[civic aurora]

your good bro. Weve been scouring that site for hours now. Its becoming a running joke with us now every time someone comes in thinking they found that site.

[languid epoch]

Ok so we are faction neutral to all factions. But uesc is using military force to try and control it

[plucky sierra]

I think there might be a new website

[subtle oracle]

good bit

[languid epoch]

So uesc isn’t directly enemies or bad guys

Or am I off

[civic aurora]

Depends on who you ask

[raven marlin]

I’ve been screenshotting each OG terminal I find if that would help the mapping effort

[subtle oracle]

no theyre directly bad guys

[hollow estuary]

I mean they're enemies to all factions

[plucky sierra]

Thank you

[whole siren]

has the green terminal which shows cryo freeze footage and durandal dialogue been found yet

[subtle oracle]

hiding everything, going above the law to keep the factions from getting their rightful property

[plain flame]

I’d say they are like the major military force and trying to Bogarde the resources of Tau ceti

[hollow estuary]

Every faction has interests that subordinate uesc's attempts to control the colony

[languid epoch]

I was imagining if we are all Americans. Uesc is our government

Would be the relationship

Is why I’m confused

[subtle oracle]

theyre basically saying "we know its against the law but we're the UESC, whatre you gonna do, fight us? thats illegal" and the factions went "bet lemme get my 'contractor' on the phone rq" and out we popped

[raven marlin]

Is there a separate channel for secrets and Easter egg hunting?

[hollow estuary]

Assuming that the American Governement doesn't treat its citizens as enemies

[hazy mist]

i kinda feel like a lot of the factions are bad guys too though

[languid epoch]

Right. I mean originated as our government trying to rescue and bring us there

[subtle oracle]

UESC is basically the gov, but nucal, traxus, cyac, and sekgen have such monopolies in their sectors that they drive most of the life of sol and its people making them super important and powerful too. MIDA and arachne are fringe groups

[subtle oracle]

yes but no

[languid epoch]

Mida is definitely bad depending on how you spin it

[hollow estuary]

Its a multi-polar world in Marathon, much like our own world is becoming, no one faction can be claimed to be the good one or bad one by all.

[subtle oracle]

UESC is plain bad, factions are like "yes we're using you for personal gain but we also just want our rightful property and to find out what happened (so we can use it for good PR for us/bad pr for the UESC)"

[civic aurora]

Im setting up a server now, but not sure I can actually post it in here

[civic aurora]

Mind you, your a bit biased.

[subtle oracle]

If the UESC let out that TC4 and the marathon are fucked, their public opinion tanks horrifically

[subtle oracle]

shhh we're almost there

[burnt nebula]

Bungie/Sony has asked reviewers to wait until Cryo Archive is live before reviewing the game. They must be planning something big. What do you guys think? I'm thinking the scene from the cinematic launch trailer with the Compiler flying toward Triage in a cave is gonna be significant. Bungie also said whoever is the first to complete certain things will change the game for all players in noticeable ways. Evolving world maybe? Compilers showing up in raids? The entire Pfhor turns up?

[surreal jackal]

Orion seems kinda chill though if I think about it

[civic aurora]

That tracks.

[hollow estuary]

UESC is operating as if they still rule in the Uni-polar moment but they don't, just like the US does rn.

[hazy mist]

oh i didnt see the "first to complete" thing thats really interesting

[subtle oracle]

Compiler will be the miniboss imo (think caretaker not Rhulk) and something huge is waiting in vault 7 (pfhor? jjaro?). Cant wait for the new cutscenes we'll probs get

[civic aurora]

They have done this sort of thing with Destiny as teams try to be the first to beat an expansion or event

[timber urchin]

the whole Pfhor showing up that early would be insane, but i dont really see that

[blazing notch]

Add meeeeee

[timber urchin]

i can see some big changes coming after Cryo Archive is completed though

i just dont think it'll be the introduction of a entire PVE faction though

[subtle oracle]

they blow up columns (good riddance)

[languid epoch]

Isn’t jjaro extinct

[blazing notch]

I cant find anything off in cam6, static is super short, though when i did a "find the difference between images" tool, there is a patch of snow that it says is different after the static but i cant see the difference

[plucky sierra]

It’s not a raid, it’s an Extraction Shooter

[rancid carbon]

so the secret code glyphs at the bottom of https://cryoarchive.systems/cargo translate in order as, SVX, W&Y, TZ@, UX& and then repeat, not sure if it means literally anything haha

[plucky sierra]

It’ll be like the wardens but worse

[jagged rose]

Most of the Jjaro are either chilling out somewhere in the world, or have ascended to beings of pure energy.

[burnt nebula]

It's a looter/extraction shooter. its pretty much raiding.

[restive bone]

What’s the current status of cryo being figured out? Sorry just got here so tryna catch up

[subtle oracle]

9/16 cams

[frozen fern]

I hope we get some more Durandal soon

[subtle oracle]

wait

7 cams

[restive bone]

Cams?

[subtle oracle]

arent on

bungie wtf man

[restive bone]

lol sorry I have no idea what’s going on

[subtle oracle]

oh uhh

[subtle oracle]

this site

[hazy mist]

theres a website where you can look at cameras in cryo

[subtle oracle]

Cryo is literally stated by the devs to be "raid like" brother

[hazy mist]

theyve been able to find the clear versions of 9 cameras, 7 arent on

[restive bone]

Ohhh neat! How are they being figured out? I was watching Fallout for a bit but didn’t really understand

[hazy mist]

or arent accessible

[subtle oracle]

we're not rly sure yet

[jagged rose]

I mean, the closest things we've seen to the Jjaro are the S'pht'kr and Thoth, but they were a race liberated by a Jjaro widower basically

[hazy mist]

is there anything new on unityispower has anyone checked

[plucky sierra]

Lower your expectations, standing still on a plate is “raidlike”

[subtle oracle]

Underselling raids horrifically hard

[jagged rose]

I could imagine the triple Lockdown as a raid opener tbh

[plucky sierra]

I’m saying any puzzle has to factor in PvP so expect simple

[floral nest]

I wonder why there are no UESC runners. You would think they would want some to oversee the work they are doing on Tau

[restive bone]

What’s the website to see the cameras?

[plucky sierra]

They aren’t gonna make us do verity while fighting people

[subtle oracle]

Not necessarily. when asked ab teams per map they said cryo "has something different". I expect the teams get split up and brought together at points

[civic aurora]

They have bots. Why need runners

[clear ridge]

it couldd just be expected one team wins the lobby then has to do the puzzle, or they expect some people to co-operate

[subtle oracle]

orion is a runner and rook is technically a runner

us

[frozen fern]

I wish there was an easier way for solos to get to cryo so I can see all the lore stuff

[subtle oracle]

or ritual sacrifice

[subtle oracle]

luckily nobody is at cryo rn

and i wanna see how theyll handle it for solos

[spring fiber]

So the tweet of the dev mean that the cryo archive will release or we still need to find a way to get here

[civic aurora]

Skyrockets in flight?

An afternoon delight?

[subtle oracle]

finding a way

[jagged rose]

They have entire armies of what I believe are a mix of automated units and remote-controlled operatives. Does anyone know if any of the bots are human-operated?

[floral nest]

With the current state of solos? They probably won't change anything and will rely on trios to tell them all of the lore. 🤭

[subtle oracle]

wouldnt upset me. Same deal with raids being 6 man and not matchmade

[grave cloud]

is there any place people are gathering for the cryoarchive.systems website?

[jagged rose]

I could conceivably solo Archive, mark my words

[civic aurora]

Here. But I'm trying to get a dc server up for this. Calling it Tau Ceti IV Expedition

[spring fiber]

??

[subtle oracle]

theres a website we're figuring out

a step to getting cryo unlocked

[restive bone]

What’s the website to see the cams?

[grave cloud]

seems like the date on the bottom points to June 16, 2788

[split fern]

@clear ridge

[burnt nebula]

They have to be planning something big if they think reviews would not be representitive of the game in its current state. The marketing for the game has been pretty high caliber with the cinematics and everything so they're probably all set to do some shocking stuff to ramp things up. I hope so anyway lol

[clear ridge]

huh

[spring fiber]

Ohh so the arg not finish yet

[civic aurora]

After seeing the music video, they DEF have something planned

Wait.

[split fern]

Sorry i have phone in a pocket and it had accidentally click your name or smthing

[civic aurora]

The glyph typfaces. Are those in game? Or the cinematics?

[subtle oracle]

barely beginning tbh

[subtle oracle]

hmmm time to look

[blazing notch]

cam07-preservation has more of the weird dark pixels right after the static, and some odd blue glows for a little bit around the table in the lab on the far right

[astral palm]

so whats the terminal thing ingame now? they sent out ingame news

[balmy gust]

Does anyone know where the third terminal in Perimeter is? I know of the one in the data wall in south relay

[floral nest]

Or they are buying time. 😬

[astral palm]

hauler

[balmy gust]

Upstairs?

[astral palm]

yep

[grave cloud]

I found two in perimeter, one in station and one in south relay

[balmy gust]

cool I'll have a look

[blazing notch]

Also all of the cameras seem to be veeery slowly paning downards

[burnt nebula]

Time for what?

[balmy gust]

thanks a lot

[astral palm]

data wall south relay and hauler

[blazing notch]

I gotta stop tho and lock in on homework I'll maybe dive back in later ping me if we get a breakthrough

[balmy gust]

Do you need to interact with them or just run up to them once in each match? Or does one person need to be standing at each?

[swift sparrow]

Yall see the website www.cryoarchive.systems

[grave cloud]

there's one terminal in station

that seems to point to a location somewhere

I recorded it, dont know how to post it here

[burnt nebula]

I couldn't wrap my head around the ARG stuff. Last time I tried it was a bunch of crazy numbers and codes and things I couldnt understand lol

[astral palm]

it leads to the next terminal @grave cloud

[grave cloud]

ah, ok

[astral palm]

south relay for me lead to data wall and that one to hauler

[fallow forge]

So whats with the zone terminals what do those do?

[spring fiber]

What did the website bring yet ?

[grave cloud]

and whatabout station?

[astral palm]

zero clue lol

[fallow forge]

I just saw the notification in my mail

[astral palm]

i didnt even know station had an active one, bungie on instagram posted three and its the ones i mentioned

or theres more?

[grave cloud]

oh, I found another one then

and it's active

[astral palm]

match the location it shows with the map and go to that one

[grave cloud]

https://imgur.com/a/I45Fon7

link for the terminal image

[astral palm]

hauler

[clever aurora]

3 terminals in each map it looks like

just found one a couple games ago

[grave cloud]

added a new picture there with the location

[civic aurora]

Thank you!

[astral palm]

yeah each map but only perimeter is active rn

[civic aurora]

Ok. I dont have Photoshop anymore so this is going to suck.

opens MS PAINT

[rancid carbon]

what u doing? i have photoshop if u need help

[obtuse plover]

I got one from overflow to north relay

[velvet temple]

How did data get you to hauler what was the method

[fallow forge]

Does each player have to find all 3 terminals for something to happen?

[grave cloud]

there's nothing to interact, it just comes online once you get closer to it

[clever aurora]

maybe just wait for the audio to end

[civic aurora]

Im trying to get overlays of maps and locations of the terminals

[subtle oracle]

is the percentage up?

[finite night]

maybe when link starts

because it stays for like 1 minute

[rancid carbon]

do u have the locations of terminals?

[placid gust]

Guys, big shit just happened

[languid stag]

How do we navigate the website? Is cryoarchive systems the right one?

[civic aurora]

Nope

[finite night]

reestrablishing connection*

[placid gust]

I found one of those terminals with the marathon symbol and it marked another one and I went to it and there was live footage of Cryo and a clip of Durandal audio

[rancid carbon]

ok, ill try and track down a few and keeps tabs also

[finite night]

one will be in 6 minutes

whoever is at last terminal wait there

maybe prompt will appear

[clever aurora]

what webiste has the map

[placid gust]

Are we looking at the ones with the marathon symbol in game? And there’s like a location that’s marked? Because I remember where mine was, both the one with the map and the one with Cryo footage - I can mark them on a map if you guys want

Wait it looks like someone else got the one I already got lol

Wait it led to hauler?!? Shit, I did’f realize that

[civic aurora]

I think I'm going to livestream trying to find them.

[placid gust]

Fuck, I extracted to early then

[languid stag]

IDK, could be www.cryoarchive.systems/online but I can't get a respone from anyone

[carmine zephyr]

everyone got the zone terminals online mail right

[civic aurora]

?

[clever aurora]

Just a screen I can’t do anything on for me

[languid stag]

I know, someone mentioned camera feeds but what website are they on?

[grave cloud]

[carmine zephyr]

i got some mail about perimeter zone terminals being active pairing 3 per zone

[grave cloud]

on the website

there's something to complete on /cargo that will unlock the second one

[placid gust]

Wait I didn’t get anything - anybody have a screenshot for reference?

I’m on game rn, so I can hunt something in a run if we have a specific area we want to check

[blazing notch]

HUGE

[languid stag]

Please, what website?

[grave cloud]

https://cryoarchive.systems/cargo

[carmine zephyr]

i wish we could post pics here

[grave cloud]

there's a "uescKillCount": 47950344,

[civic aurora]

oooooooo

[blazing notch]

I'm guessing that we need to just kill tons of UESC then?

[grave cloud]

maybe we need to kill more uesc?

[placid gust]

Oh we can’t? That makes sense lol

[subtle oracle]

NEW ONE?

https://cryoarchive.systems/cryohub

[grave cloud]

cryohub is on the list there

but its locked

[placid gust]

I think it’s procedural

[blazing notch]

WAIT

[grave cloud]

only /cargo is unlocked

[languid stag]

None of these websites work for my laptop 🙁

[balmy kernel]

they're doing more ARGs? 😮

[subtle oracle]

what list

[placid gust]

Wait there’s 7, like the 7 vaults

In Cryo

[grave cloud]

this list

[placid gust]

These are each one of the vaults

[blazing notch]

The difference between the shipDate and todays date is the countdown!

[subtle oracle]

yeah the other 7 cams are probs the vaults

idk where 3 came from

[blazing notch]

I think

[subtle oracle]

so this is the ship in 2788?

[rancid carbon]

haven't seen this one yet

[grave cloud]

what if we put the computer clock to that date?

[placid gust]

Can we jump it that far into the future? I mean, worth a shot

[civic aurora]

Ok Streaming now. Anyone want to join or watch, my twitch is the same as my username.

[blazing notch]

Actually, wait, it doesnt quite match

[subtle oracle]

holy shit big brain maybe?

[grave cloud]

nah, looks like it picks up the bungie servers date (website date, whatever)

[blazing notch]

Its off by like 11 years or so

[subtle oracle]

rip also pc time wont go to 2788 💀

[placid gust]

Haha that was my worry lol, worth a shot lol

[grave cloud]

there's an stabilization request going on too that looks likethis

[civic aurora]

I cant have twitch, dc, and the cargo camera countdown pages up at the same time. Can someone please let me know when it starts

[rancid carbon]

if cryo archives wont come to me ill go to them hahaha

[blazing notch]

This is whack, big brain going into the requests

[grave cloud]

i guess that we need to wait?

[languid stag]

I'll @ you if I see anything in chat happen

[grave cloud]

can't see anything else to interact

but there's an uescKillCount there

I imagine if we unlock stuff by just mass killing those bots

maybe we need to reach a certain threshold

[placid gust]

Alright so at 6:23, there will be a “stabilization” it seems for each of them

[languid stag]

Is counter going up or down

[grave cloud]

up
