Hellooooo, *waves arms*, someone notice the changes in the Copyrighed Material lines on the bottom of the pages? The one after the Table of Contents seems to have something.

Brighten that up and compare the backgrounds.

So maybe this formula is a bigger part of this than we had thought.

Too bad it's pretty much impossible for anyone here to solve. :\

Lots of people were trying to over on the bungie forums . . . but not enough info. I still think we should look for more of the equation along the walls of the corridors of the servers .

Holy crap you're right . . looks like a number . . .

OMG! On every page starting with the Copyright page (one with the info) to the very last page with writing, theres some letter hidden behind the "copyright" at the bottom of the page, it changes! look closely, its there.

Page numbers. The first few are Roman, like VII. That's what we got at IRC.

Hmm. Seems useless, just book page numbers. But i don't remember that being there before . . .

Umm guys, I may be wrong here, but it looks to me those are the page numbers IN the book. The roman numerals indicate the pagination prior to and including the ToC, and regular numbers proceeding after.... just like in any other book. When "Look Inside" features are done a scan is made of the book if the publisher does not provide an electronic copy. The "Copyright Material" is then imaged on top of the scan. I think you ARE seeing numbers, I just think they're supposed to be there.

OMG!! A PAGE NUMBER!!



(Yes, that's sarcasm. Glad you noticed.)

EDIT:: BTW, I still think you guys are seeing things in the Server 01 wall. There is no equation there, that I can find.

Table of Contents page numbers.

This is a little random, and I don't know if it means anything but...

Chapter 1 - 1
Chapter 2 - 24

Reverse the page number sets and you have 2401

Chapter 3 - 43

343

Interesting, no? I read another thread where someone speculated (or knew?) the numbers for the other 5 (expected) monitors. I'm not sure where I saw that thread or what the numbers were, but if someone knows what I'm talking about care to take a stab and finding the others?
