Server #1 at HALO3.com has been unlocked. We have also been given a new IP address and Flash-based website. Are we being given clues as to the beginning of the Flood? Check out the image below that was hidden on the new Flash-based website. A lot is going down on the new page . Recap of tonight's events:
The countdown has stopped.
New countdown page at http://206.16.223.65/ .
Countdown timer was removed and replaced with text box and 4 letters and numbers.
Visitors could submit text back through the web form.
Keys were given out to some users.
I tried and got a bunch of errors.
Now the page refers us to: http://206.16.223.61/E5h2JK/flash/web/index.html
An .mp3 was embedded on the key entry page.
.mp3 is of a weird voice set to background "sounds".
One possible translation done by BoonIsha on the UnFiction forums :
This is how it all begins
Just in time to do the dance again on the knife's edge of oblivion(probably wrong)
To relive what the Halos had hoped to destroy and more
For two enemies now stand where before there's only one
A fate we escaped, and a fate you may relive
I had almost convinced myself that no one was listening
That the waves of the past would roll through once again
But a chance remains to change the Universe anew
Learn of our past
Take these keys and dip from the wells of history
Perhaps through others of us you may find how to save us all
I guess someone figured out the code to unlock the page?
Seems like 100 "keys" were given out.
Once they were given out then:
Server 05 Open
Click on your country and type in your birthday and you can play.
You'll see a rotating machine (a Sentinel?).
Clicking on the machine will stop the rotation.
You can then drag the machine to rotate Left and Right.
Note that a glyph can be seen on the back.
More icons can be seen on the surface of the machine.
Clicking on the icons allows you to initiate downloads from the website .
Let the machine rotate until it is pointed straight and you and stop it.
Click on the icon in the upper right.
Be amazed as you watch the Flash movie play.
Glyph. Starry Night? A monitor? The "bacteria background" from the countdown page. A spinning moon or planet? A HALO ? More?

THIS IS MY FINAL ENTRY, AND I AM LEFT WITH ONE HOPE
THAT ONE DAY, SOMEONE, ANYONE IS AROUND TO WITNESS THIS WARNING
If you are that witness, and it seems that we pinned all of our hopes on
this single suicidal plan
KNOW THAT A THOUSAND OTHER PLANS WERE TRIED AND FAILED
Millions of brave and ???ored souls died trying to avert this desperate
terrible solution
KNOW THAT ENERGETIC AND TENACIOUS AS LIFE IS
IT HAS AN ANTITHESIS JUST AS POWERFUL
IT IS THAT THING THAT WE MUST OBLITERATE
Here are some screen captures from the Flash movie:
Thanks luigi8922
