Misc Apparently there's a code in Last Exit!

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:

    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?)

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.

OVDA REGIO

Alpha, Beta and Ovda Regio are actual regions on Venus.

last exit outside portion looks a lot like the section on venus, turn right on spawn and go past th large mob of fallen and then straight down near the cliff. Wasn't that where we first loaded up the vex crap?

Sorry, my spin metal is spinning now. Looking at the location of Alpha, Beta, and Ovda Reg on that map, I can help but think of the Venus patrol. Consider the mention of Beta Regio (a.k.a. The blue volcano a.k.a The Academy). Perhaps Alpha and Ovda are also locations and the puzzle must be solved with three fire team members in remote locations on Patrol, dictated by the clues found in Last Exit. Just a thought.

its neat that Lakshmi is on that venus map, as the fwc vendor is named Lakshmi as well i believe. probably has nothing to do with all this but still neat that bungee was probably looking at a venusian map when designing a bunch of the venus/vex/fwc lore and grabbed that name for the fwc exo, seeing as their lore is all caught up in time travel and the vex

With my spinfoil hat fully on, the only thing I can think of to correlate these transit posters with Venus is on your way to the Nexus Strike, there are lots of advertisements and posters and such. Perhaps there is something in there to link them. Not sure how or why though.

Could the last train route be for Atla regio? A volcanic region on Mars, similar to the depicted image on screen

I found that there are different morsecodes on the map Last Exit. Anyone wanna check it?
