I'm a huge gay human being and I'm posting exploration content because /r/RaidSecrets bit me in the rear end. The following post is entertainment-narrative of me wasting time in a videogame gg if you read it



There's some insistence right now out there that there's secrets associated with Last Exit, according to something a Bungo said on a stream recently. There's a scrollcode, akin to the devname scrollcode from Memento, on the escalators down to the subway area with wrecked cars, but it doesn't seem to be the names of developers. People theorize that there's a puzzle associated with these "Alpha Regio", "Beta Regio", and "Ovda Regio" destination signs in the ceilings of the open, accessible railcar wrecks at Last Exit's platform.

The flavor text of the map when you select it for a private Crucible match implies to me that some trainfulls of fleeing war refugees got banished from reality by the Vex:

quote:

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.

At the bottom of the escalators, on the train platform proper, there's this...transit map, which also shows up outside the entrance to the Archives on Venus Patrol:


Last Exit and Asylum are heavily lore-related (at some point I read they might be the same physical place), evidenced by the presence of OWT signage and facilities in both places. I visited there to see if I could find anything.
In Asylum, you see this...uh...logo? On a monitor? That I don't think I've seen anywhere else in the game.

The colors of the logo directly correlate to the colors on the Icebreaker's new Nanohance ornament, but I've never seen this "A\" logo anywhere else like I said, so I've no idea if it bears any significance beyond coincidence:



Down the hall in the A-side of the heavy/special Atrium, there's another active monitor that appears to have some kind of pulsing, purple waveform (pictured on the right):



The monitor is very active. It's a rather long animation loop for something that's just background. You can watch it for some time; gut Bungie ARG makes me want to say this probably has a spectrograph or something hidden in it, but I have no idea how to get that sort of information off an ingame screen and into scrutible format.

In Skyline, there's an identical Logo-Monitor inside the A stairwell going up to the inaccessible monorail platform:


I could not find other logo-monitors in any other maps, they only seem to be on Skyline (Mars) and Last Exit (Venus).

Because I was on Mars checking out the Skyline map, I decided to thematically continue and go investigate Tharsis Junction, another place mentioned in the RaidSecrets work as a destination for all these trains.

On my way, I found the Thorium Tree emblem in the wild outside the Subways:


And also this cute M-Line map in the dark transit terminals just before it starts getting to the departure and arrival platforms downstairs. I just noticed there's a dead ghost on top of it that I haven't gotten yet, I'll go get that later:


Indeed, there still were a loving lot of wrecked trains, just as we remembered them from Vanilla missions. And a ton of Vex, along with some Cabal. It reminded me that the Cabal seem just as fascinated by the Vex as the humans are:


I didn't find anything interesting down there. Or maybe I don't know what to look for. Perhaps I killed some yellowbar that triggers an event while my HUD was disabled for these screenshots?

While I was down there, I couldn't shake this strange feeling


that maybe the vex


were watching me with little Vex-motes:




My conclusion from all this is that we're going to have a great time in the Vault of Glass revamp. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ngl I was a bowl or two in at 3AM, but you should understand that there's no current point to any of the above, as I mention it's just for your entertainment purposes. You get exposure to my stream of consciousness explorations while I chase a "secret" that, by Bungie's own admission, "results in no material rewards, the knowledge it contains is the Easter Egg."

It's like I say at the end of the post:

lol Reddit also decried that Rezyl Azzir ARG account as a fake-phony just because Deej said, "Not Us", and here we are now with new backstory Grimoire cards in RoI about a dude named Rezyl Azzir.

One node on each class page requires you to beat the subclass-specific quests. I don't remember if those explicitly require you to max out the subclasses but you definitely have to play a bunch of crucible with them so it would help a lot.

Yeah you gotta do all the crucible quests for each subclass. Probably the vanguard ones too but they werent shown in stream.

Since they said both that this is the last event of D1 and that there is no plan to shut down the D1 servers at this time, you probably have a good long while.

I have I think 3? They live up to the Rare designation.

Counted earlier and I have 80+ ships and I think like 57 Sparrows. Hopefully those are enough.

Sparrows is way worse there are a ton of lovely purple sparrows you can only get by upgrading lovely blue sparrows you buy with legendary marks.

Hopefully they don't require too many because that's loving balls

Man I found a lot more monitors lit up than I originally thought on Asylum, this is getting a little weird.
I think they have numbers assigned to each somehow, there's little quirks in the level design that...well. Look:

0


One of these two is 1, angling on the first "waveform" monitor I posted about be it (1st image), the other one's across from another one of those Thorium Tree emblems in Ticket C (2nd image):




What's "OWT" spelled backwards?


3


4


The "S" in "venus" being cut off from the rest of the word by the floodlight makes "5" imo:



I don't know what the significance of the Thorium tree is, but it's by a train over here on Platform 1 in the Ticket hall to C from Atrium. Makes me feel like since there's 6 other monitors, this is a jackpot monitor or something:



Meanwhile, back in Skyline, these Daito logos in the motion-sensitive hallway turn into that logo on the monitors, just palette shifted:



Whatever this door glass artwork is, it's sure a fitted place to sit a No Time To Explain:
