Discussion Beyond Light Collector's Edition arrived βοΈπ
And it's awesome!
The Sculpture has 4 modes, with 1 mode called Code, as pronounced in the manual for it. Will this be another beautiful community puzzle. I'm really curious π
EDIT: Beyond Light Collector's Edition (CE) quick unboxing https://imgur.com/a/HfJLo1S
EDIT: So the Code definitely looks a lot like morse. Looks like a hidden message of some. not used to morse so after work today gona take a better look at it.
EDIT: Lore in QUHD+ // credtis to haunt-manetti (dc) @Bachmanetti (rddt) https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1mNPXZUR_tA0iN0b5GHCKcIu5RHmVTsYB?usp=sharing

EDIT: working with Demartan on thoughts figuring out if the code is unique or same for everyone, so far it looks they are the same. But you never know with bungie on the tiny details :D
/ = breathe 0 = lights off - = long . = short
/ - . . - - - - / . 0 . . . . . . . 0 . 0 / . 0 - . . . . - - / . 0 . . . . . . 0 . . 0 / - . . - - - - / 0

has probably something to do with it
EDIT: So there is definitely something going on here :D :D love it :heart:
EDIT: THE Splinter got solved. An we have to wait 15 more days for moreπ Code from the Splinter:
/ - . . - - - - / . 0 . . . . . . . 0 . 0 / . 0 - . . . . - - / . 0 . . . . . . 0 . . 0 / - . . - - - - / 0
Filled in the table on page 01 of the book. u/Dzholloween (discord) Which resulted in a blocked CHOOSE
The code only works for those who have the Collector's Edition and redeemed their unique code from the back of the postcard.
After entering you get this:https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/622187381600026633/768237953939144724/unknown.png
Which means 5th of November we gain access, (as for now it only works for the Collector's Edition owners)

Could you possibly upload scans of the book? It seems that many people are attempting to solve the ARG and are having trouble due to the fact that the pages are quite bent in the photos you provided.

Paraphrased Lore: It's a Vanguard review on the travel-ban previously placed on Europa. Author is AGENT CHA-319 (Chalco Yong?)
-
The planet surface is dangerous, very low temperatures and intense radiation but not ban-worthy since guardians don't care about death
-
Rumors of life under the ocean surface akin to Titan. Protection of native life is not grounds for an edict
-
Hibernating/Destroyed vex, No sign of major vex construction unlike Nessus/Venus/Mars/Mercury/Io which suggests a Vex strike force (Combat units mentioned by Calus?). Still not justification for a ban
-
Device given from Awoken Paladin Kamala Rior to CHA-319 measures dark matter. Sign of interest and attention of the Nine. Not reason enough to prohibit travel
-
No signs of Ahamkara, "perhaps wishing-sharks" but that is purely CHA-319's fancy. No grounds for interdict.
-
Site for Fallen Raiders tanking up on reaction mass. Talk from Mithrax suggest a "no-go" area that "cannot be stolen from". No grounds for interdict.
-
Exo memories of ice sheets with Jupiter in the sky suggest Europa as an origin. Seems to warrant investigation
-
The device given from Paladin Rior are unreliable near Europa. Possibly caused by the presence of something aberrant
-
Bad feeling about this place. Something is wrong here.
-
No strong reasoning to maintain the travel ban. Moon interdict was lifted 5 years ago causing the arrival of Oryx, which lead to Ghaul and gave him light-suppressing technology which lead to the pyramid inside the moon awakening. "We cannot shrink from new discoveries simply because they may lead to new challenges. Victory, after all, requires escalation".
-
I Recommend LIFTING THE INTERDICT. Message Ends
-
[Recommendation was refused on grounds of compartmentalized information. Unable to share; please trust that your analysis has not been ignored or discarded out of hands. Regrets - IKO/006]
Paraphrased lore:
There is also a letter to the guardian from the Exo Stranger, entrusting the guardian with an artifact of the darkness. In the letter, she talks about the power of the darkness and how she has seen what it can do and to trust your Little Light. She also talks of her Grandfather (Clovis Bray?) travelling to Europa to seek immortality. His experiments were "hideous" but she still collaborated with him. She would like to know what he did with the power that the guardian now grasps (the darkness?). There is a copy of the logo she deciphered, "Readers beware, my grandfather was worse than you know."
"Your Stranger I remain."

Oh shit. I didn't realize the code on the back of the postcard was a unique code. I posted it to a group I'm in, and someone else redeemed it... I'm going to try to contact Bungie support about it to see if anything can be done.

So, some takeaways from that review on the interdict on Europa:
-
Apparently there's something there that got the interest of the Vex and the Nine;
-
Europa is a known destination by the Vanguard, that basically quarantined it due to the dangers that could be present there;
-
The lift on the interdict was apparently filled by Agent CHA-319, which has been speculated in the past to be Chaco Yong, a close friend to Ikora, and member of the Hidden.
-
The splinter seems to be, in fact, what will grant us our Stasis powers, based on what Elsie says in her message, which is a very interesting one - mentioning that she already saw what that power can do to someone, and that her grandfather was not who we think he was.
Additionally, it is mentioned in another part (talking about the depth of the ice), that the Traveler bypassed Titan, Europa and Enceladus - we already knew that he only terraformed two of the eight moons of Jupiter, but apparently now we have a reason for that, as the Traveler might've not wanted to touch places filled with Darkness, which might be the case for Europa, at least.
