args.bungie.org

It is apparent that the whole purpose of this arg is to inform us about the past, so we have a better understanding of the future. This arg is obviously working backwards. Server 05 is the last message to be transmitted, because it records the rings being fired. so in my opinion the whole thing maps out like this.

server 01-02-03-04-05 (recorded)----(about 97993 years)-----server 05-04-03-02-01 (recieved)----end of the world?(2552)

All we are doing is working our way to the beginning
