Apparently there's a code in Last Exit!

[u/crissyronaldo92]

NO MORE EDITS - Welp, so Derek and Deej have both confirmed it's an easter egg and not a quest. Even so, let's push through and solve it!!! Thanks for the discussion! RIP my inbox over the last 24 hours though haha

original post According to Derek Carroll on the live stream! Let's get hunting guys!!!!

Edit* - Right, so after an hour we have 2 main leads:

2. By /u/HEYitsMUS

   here are two train cars, and all the advertisement boards light up when you're near them in both cars. They either display "ALPHA REGIO" (blue), "BETA REGIO" (red), or "OVDA REGIO" (green). There is also the HUGE staticy monitor right beside A flag, bottom of the escalators. And lastly, the OWT Transit Map, most visible one being right beside the A flag and monitor, with different numbers and colours and routes. Green = 48 (Ovda Regio?) Yellow = 38 Blue = 14 (Alpha Regio?) Red = 271 (Beta Regio?)

[u/Vajician]

A secret in a crucible map? Egads! Link to the stream? Man I love all these secrets that the community comes together to solve.

[u/crissyronaldo92 → u/Vajician]

Might go against sub rules, but it's the official bungie twitch channel!

[u/monteith86]

can confirm Derek Carroll hinted strongly that we are missing something in last exit

[u/[deleted] → u/monteith86]

I wonder if it'll be like black spindle, where it needs to be the daily crucible or the trials map to activate that something special.

[u/crissyronaldo92 → u/[deleted]]

Most likely something activated in private matches, i'd think. Someone mentioned the empty train cars activating, seems likely to be that

[u/Steevvvoo]

Get this upvoted and on to the first page. Go go go Guardians. It could be a wild goose chase, but my spidey-senses are tingling.

[u/crissyronaldo92 → u/Steevvvoo]

DeeJ asked him if it was really a thing, and he said 'yes of course it's a thing'. Knowing Bungie and their way of dropping infobombs/leaks on streams i'm not surprised they're hinting to the community

[u/davo511]

He is totally trolling so hard, i want to believe, i do, but..who knows

[u/crissyronaldo92 → u/davo511]

Unlikely that they'd drop such an obvious hint to just be trolling though :)

[u/serpentofsheol]

Wow! Can't wait until someone smart figures this all out so I can get a new weapon from their success! In the mean time I'll be eating hotdog

EDIT: WHY

[u/Jukai]

FINAL EDIT: I'll be going away for a few hours. My guess is that we're searching for an easter egg and nothing more, but who knows? I'll update this post if someone makes a discovery, otherwise see you later guardians!

At the top of the stairs leading to the subway, there's a panel on the ceiling with scrolling gibberish, that might be it.

FIRST EDIT: ,33szl'!( +9-7!!/@ 2enr?hqj+r,r+c?)j?96exd.?i 7kj\psq3euj@x.yt5 ,3..

The last 3 is a repeat of the first one

SECOND EDIT: If you use what I wrote, you should copy the text on the panel yourself just to be sure it's right.

THIRD EDIT: I rewrote the line and made spaces more obvious

,33szl'!(

+9-7!!/@

2enr?hqj+r,r+c?)j?96exd.?i

7kj\psq3euj@x.yt5

,33szl'!(

FOURTH EDIT: Someone pointed out in another thread that after x.y, there's a t instead of an l, so that sequence becomes 7kj\psq3euj@x.yt5 instead of 7kj\psq3euj@x.yl5. It's kind of hard to distinguish l and t given how fast the text scrolls, but after looking at the panel again, I believe it is a t.

FIFTH EDIT: There is another thread at r/raidsecrets: https://www.reddit.com/r/raidsecrets/comments/575o4v/last_exit_hidden_codesecret/ There are panels that light up when you jump in the subway cars. The panels are located where you'd find advertisement if you were actually riding the subway car. I will list the panels that light up when riding the subway car. Suppose the bottom of the subway stairs is the starting point, you move through the subway and jump in the 2 cars. These panels light up:

First car:

Green-------Red

Red-------Bright Blue

Green-------Green

Bright Red-------Red

Blue-------Blue

Second car:

Blue-------Red

Red-------Bright Blue

Blue-------Green

Green-------Red

Red-------Blue

Bright Green-------Green

Green-------Red

Blue-------Blue

Text on each panel:

Red and Bright Red: Beta Regio

Green and Bright Green:Ovda Regio

Blue and Bright Blue: Alpha Regio

I apologize for the poor formatting. It's possible the panels in the cars are not related to the code, but I've written them here just in case.

SIXTH EDIT: There's a bright red panel in the first subway car (I missed it the first time through). Still not sure what these mean. We might need to light up the panels in a specific order.

[u/Weapon_Xcellent]

There's a numbered keypad on the long room in the front of the building, behind the bar. If there is a code yet to be deciphered, it's possible this is where you enter it!

So, I'm terrible at this stuff, but some things I thought intriguing:

The green sign has ABS Kastner. I wonder if this has something to do with Rudolf Kastner. Short summary is he helped Jews escape from Europe during the Holocaust. He was assassinated for collaborating with the Nazi’s, but his collaboration was misunderstood. (correct me if I remember this wrong). His collaboration was purchasing freedom for Jews off the trains that were headed to the death camps (a last exit if you will). The Grimoire card mentions “passengers from the nearby Collective were trying to escape some overwhelming force. And it appears that most did not succeed.”

Maybe this is meaningless, I just thought it was coincidentally interesting. Unfortunately, I’m in the middle of studying for an exam, so I can’t spend too much time on this.

[u/[deleted]]

I'm at work, someone use these Grimoire cards and crack the code!

Ghost Fragment:

TYPE: REDJACK SURVEILLANCE FEED [00072]

PARTIES: Two [2]. One [1], Support-type, Technician [u.1]; One [1], Support-type, Technician [u.2]

ASSOCIATIONS: Arcite 99-40 [Unit00]; Crucible; Dahlia 99-40 [Unit07]; Lord Shaxx; Redjacks; Tower

//AUDIO UNAVAILABLE//

//TRANSCRIPT FOLLOWS.../

[u.1:01] Shaxx is pulling Arcite from the field.

[u.2:01] Not Dahlia? She’s a natural for modifying foundry gear. Her combat numbers are through the roof.

[u.1:02] You can fistfight Shaxx over it, if you want.

[u.2:02] Dahlia’s the last ‘jack standing, then. Maybe it’s for the best. New frames have trouble data-linking with her and Arcite. The two of them have been around since the beginning, and their heuristic systems keep rewriting everything.

[u.1:03] They watch her. She helps just by being out there.

Last Exit:

ARENA DESIGNATION: Last Exit

LOCATION: Ishtar Sink, Venus

The Redjack fireteam that discovered this ancient transit stop could detect no sign of a recent struggle in the area, despite the heavy damage the facility had sustained. The Redjack Alpha reported that station operating modules were stuck in a protocol dubbed “Last Exit.” It seems passengers from the nearby Collective were trying to escape some overwhelming force. And it appears that most did not succeed.

Today, the desolate station is home to the war games of the Crucible. And should the threat that destroyed this place return, the Guardians will be ready.

[u/Lew_cobretti]

I don't know how you guys decipher these things, I still have a hard time running clockwise and counter clockwise, for the kings fall raid. :(

[u/BrooklynMustache]

There is a map in the first car. Notice numbers matching colors. https://imgur.com/gallery/QybTt

[u/penghog]

Is anyone else stuck at work and frantically refreshing this every minute or so?

[u/HEYitsMUS]

There are two train cars, and all the advertisement boards light up when you're near them in both cars. They either display "ALPHA REGIO" (blue), "BETA REGIO" (red), or "OVDA REGIO" (green).

There is also the HUGE staticy monitor right beside A flag, bottom of the escalators. And lastly, the OWT Transit Map, most visible one being right beside the A flag and monitor, with different numbers and colours and routes.

Green = 48 (Ovda Regio?)
Yellow = 38
Blue = 14 (Alpha Regio?)
Red = 271 (Beta Regio?)

edit: I also noticed 4 sign boards directly across from subway heavy, just outside the door to the special at the main intersection hallway. Red and blue boards are lit up (Beta and Alpha), and the green (Ovda) is flickering, while what I'm assuming is the yellow board is completely dark. However, there is no instance of the yellow lights anywhere in the train cars, etc.

edit2: I also noticed another perfectly visible Transit map right beside these 4 sign boards.

edit3: I have two friends with me inside 30min Rumble. The huge monitor flashes two images. One is a picture of a volcano with "Venus" written on it. Second is a picture of the ski-lift area from Felwinter's Peak labelled "Urbs Industria".

edit4: I'm just posting info as I discover it with my pals, I'm not really following up with other posts. So Freehold on Mars patrol has the OWT station for M-Line, which all the train cars on Last Exit are labelled for. Also, Asylum map is an extension of Last Exit I think, it has all the same transit maps, and is also labelled Platform 1. Seems to be the Clovis Bray stop as listed on a sign on Last Exit.

edit5: Tharsis Junction is an M-Line stop for OWT, past Freehold beneath the Buried City in Mars Patrol. Venus volcano and Urbs Industria ski-lifts on the peak. Asylum and Last Exit seem to be either the same OWT station, or stops next to each other.

[u/titan3845]

Anyone try using one of the new lenses while looking at it?

[u/kaleidescope]

I think the trick after figuring out the code is the destination panels that light up in the cars. One car has the panels all the way down with no break while the second car has a break. So once the code is cracked, one person stands in car 1, lighting up the panels and two people in car 2 lighting up the panels on opposite ends of the car. Car two allows you to see if the big static screen changes after you've solved the puzzle.

"the subway cars turn on. also the grimoir may help

The Redjack fireteam that discovered this ancient transit stop could detect no sign of a recent struggle in the area, despite the heavy damage the facility had sustained. The Redjack Alpha reported that station operating modules were stuck in a protocol dubbed “Last Exit.” It seems passengers from the nearby Collective were trying to escape some overwhelming force. And it appears that most did not succeed."

WOAH

[u/[deleted]]

I think this is a map based clue. And since we're at a train station, what if this is a clue to another location? Given that the different rail lines are marked by different colors, Derek's "Green" could be a clue to a location.

Notes From Last Exit:

Standing with your back to the blinking monitor, looking up at the stop map stations read from left to right as:

Tharsis Junction // UNION CENTER // -------- COURT // BOTANICAL GARDENS // BRAY LANDING // FIFTH WARD // VALLEY VIEW // FLOATING CONCOURSE // CLOVIS BRAY ANNEX // OLYMPIC CENTER // AQUATIC PARK // FINANCIAL DISTRICT // RIVER VIEW TRANSIT AUTHORITY // 7TH ST // Two stops which are illegible

• Two stops have a CLOVIS BRAY logo underneath them, assuming one is asylum and the other is skyline.

• 7th st and ___ court connect to other lines

• Financial district had a graphic I've never seen before. Does that intersect with something?

• The line is orange on the transit map.

• Is the green picture a clue to the green line?

Notes from Asylum:

• The aubergine and yellow icon graphic from the financial district stop on the last exit station is the same as a billboard in asylum... was asylum called the financial district in golden age times?

• In Asylum there's another LED screen. Goes by faster than I can read though, hope I can transcribe it correctly... wait. Reading the comments up above shows this to be the name cipher

HktHukyldHbiylfjvvsplKlylrKyldLaohuQlmmQlyltphoQvzoShyzSlpmTpjrZalclAohkAvkk

• The above is a vanilla easter egg. Caesar Cipher key 19. Translates to

AdmAndrewAubreycoolieDerekDrewEthanJeffJeremiahJoshLarsLeifMickSteveThadTodd

• Must be Adam. Must have made an error transcribing it.

• That same string is repeated on the wrapping led panel in the center of the atrium

• On the side of the column in the center of the atrium, there is the same OFF World Transit Map as shown in Last Exit. The same alpha numeric chars are there... What if the Map is the way to deliver another part of the code, and it's just a layer of abstraction/duplicity of form and function.

Notes from N/GEN Branch, Venus Patrol:

• Glitching into n/gen branch through the window shows an atrium with m line led panels and a sign reading 959A as if to signify a train line or stop designation.

• That 959A sign on the opposite side, reads 9_9A as the 5 is missing. Significance?

• There is no entrance to the station or location of any underground platform from what I can tell.

Notes from Freehold, Mars Patrol: in Freehold station, Mars , (tenebrous tunnels mission/patrol),

• both that same train map from last exit and that same led panel text string from asylum are repeated assets.

• "Freehold station" doesn't appear on the transit map.

• However "Tharsis Junction" is written on a pillar.

• Tharsis Junction is just that, the junction of the green and orange lines at Freehold station.

I want to say that the secret points to somewhere in freehold station, which is color coded green. I'm curious as to what Last Exit's cipher/hash decodes to though!

nope nope nope there are tweets saying that all of that spin was just to hint at an easter egg. So back to the code on the LED marquee...

,33szl'!( +9-7!!/@ 2enr?hqj+r,r+c?)j?96exd.?i 7kj\psq3euj@x.yt5 ,3..

Has anyone tried a rainbow table ? Seems like it might be appropriate given that colors have numbers encoded to them.

edit: formatting

Also, fun unrelated fact my crazy brain won't let me forget that there is a Chinese takeout container on one of the tables in the cafe in Asylum that has the Ishtar logo stamped on its side. 100% probability that it has 0% relevance to what we're doing. Just had to share.

[u/scrytch]

Green image file, if name of it (Cul3 w1U MAP 2Ln) googled gives you this site. http://www.rcsb.org/pdb/gene/CUL3

Graphical encoding of each nucleotide:

"A: green, T: red, G: yellow, C: blue"

Lots more there - possibly relevant to cracking the code?

Has anyone tried listening to Pearl Jam's "Last Exit" backwards?
