In the last sentence of the post, AdjutantReflex said "''I will seek one of you out and leave my legacy in a small space.''" Twenty-five minutes later, AdjutantReflex replied to the thread saying "''He has had millennia for reflection, but what image does he see?''".

Valchael on the bungie.net forums announced he'd received a package from Microsoft containing a number of SOTA-related items. He was one of the first 100 to open Server 05. It's expected that packages were sent to all 100 - whether each will receive their package depends on the validity of their addresses (entered either directly, or via their Passport/XBL account). The package contained: A T-shirt, a copy of the SOTA flyer, a printed version of the ''Halo 3'' comic, and a slip of paper with an XBL key redeemable for an Iris glyph gamerpic.

====Server 2====

On July 10, [http://206.16.223.61/Ce1EOnJ/flash/web/index.html Episode 2] opens at Halo3.com.

The "Servers" have been renamed to "Episodes". One of the files that you can download from episode 02 is a .wav file entitled 719 Hz. The sound file contains garbled noise, but if you run it through a program called Spectogram, then it creates a picture of what appears to be a melting and misshapen clock. The image can also be attributed to look like a blurry version of "[[The Device]]", which can be accessed through the ''Halo 3'' website. It is hidden inside the concept art section, which could be the reference to being "''hidden behind a false menu item''" from the Flood Containment Control call number.

====Server 3====

On July 26, ~~2007~~ at Halo3.com, on the concept art section, after the thumbnail for Spartan Laser, is a thumbnail labeled "The Device". When the thumbnail is clicked, a window will pop up, and once you click "Initiate", it tells you it's waiting for sound input. If you have a microphone connected, you can speak and it will make echoes of your voice. By tapping hard enough to generate some noise on your microphone repeatably with a certain interval between each tap, or by playing the file 719Hz.wav downloaded from one of the episodes, it will unlock the glyph and give you a link to Server 3. Note: A few people have unlocked the glyph by whispering Iris into their microphone, although this is doubtful how it was meant to be unlocked.
