This is a direct copy & paste from reddit and all credit goes to reddit user shutdown924. Original reddit thread; [spoiler]https://m.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/52y2gs/owl_sector_potential_new_arg_starting/[/spoiler] [spoiler]Link: http://owlsector.bungie.net/#en[/spoiler] To help with clarification: A thread was started today here about a random buff appearing for a streamer during a Crucible match. /u/usernamegeek then pointed out that someone in the chat linked them to a page on Bungie's website called Owl Sector - here is his post: When SayNoToRage first got it, a message showed up in his chat from owl_sector stating "We’ve detected an unidentified foreign intrusion into your systems, Guardian. Stay calm. We will investigate." That profile on twitch linked to this site. http://owlsector.bungie.net/#en So, this looks like an ARG (Alternate Reality Game) to hype up Rise of Iron. There are apparently 5 different buffs: Brilliance 3.2 Glory 2.1 Splendor 2.6 Magnificence 2.0 Fortitude 3.1 They appear to be obtained through random crucible kills or at the start of a strike. You get a timed (unknown amount) XP bonus. The Owl Sector Website appears to be gathering the data of those who have come in contact with the buff. Looks like if enough people have the buff, some chat logs appear here. Each buff appears to/will open a chat log. Brilliance 3.2 Chat Log Owl Sector Internal, OS-I6 1 SHU: How long since we last convened? QUI: I can still recall the Dawn Calamity, so not long enough. BER: I've got consistent and strange reports coming in from across the system. SHU: Try me. BER: A few Guardians in the field report being swarmed by some kind of electronic mite. The first few after visiting the Dust Palace on Mars, but the rest from all over. SHU: How bad? BER: Fantastic, apparently. At least, that's what they're yelling over comms. Is happy shouting a medical issue? Do we take this to the Vanguard? QUI: Ikora first. The Hidden might know something. Part two: Owl Sector Internal, OS-I6 2 SHU: Berriole's deployed on Mars, Quist is whimpering in the corner— QUI: Slander. SHU: Correction to the record. Quist is curled up in the corner, making noises of outrage— RAM: Officially, the Vanguard suggestion of quarantine was implemented and shortly afterwards reversed due to irreparable ineffectiveness. Unofficially, they laughed at Quist. Refer to Quist’s notes, which will be released to all of the Owl Sector after appropriate redactions. I remind the Sector that public records can be read by children; please word reports accordingly. Next steps? SHU: Segregating affected Guardians is impossible at this time. But limiting civilian exposure is still possible. Critical, in fact. RAM: Guardians are more likely to respect exclusion from the City than confinement to our hospital wing. SHU: I don’t want to see the effects of this tech mite on those without the Traveler's Light. I’ll talk to Ikora. QUI: She still talks to you? SHU: I’m Liaison to the Vanguard. It’s my job. Besides, I’m irresistibly charming. RAM: Even if? SHU: Even if. Magnificence 2.0 Chat Log Report of Bypass Authority Berriole, OS-I6 1, for Owl Sector records, assigned to incident TRANSMISSION. I have been tasked with returning to the Dust Palace on Mars, which as far as we know is the only link between the Guardians first affected by these overrides. Appropriate contamination equipment has been requisitioned, although specs are for the Dawn Calamity and have not been adjusted. The Owl Sector has determined that our acutest need is information. Which is where I come in. The area of interest includes former Clovis Bray buildings, so I expect my skills in cryptography, biosignature falsification, and historical architecture to be thoroughly exercised. Splendor 2.6 Chat Log Records of the Vanguard, OS-I6 1 CY6: I don't see the harm in it. A little mysterious fun, some ka-ching to our usual pew-pew. Didn't you take candy from strangers, when you were newborn in the Light? ZAV: No. I did not. IR: This isn't candy, Cayde. The Owl Sector reports a highly contagious armor systems override. If you'd stop clowning for a moment and think— ZAV: What protocols are the Owl Sector implementing? IR: The Liaison asked me what to do. CY6: That's a new one. IR: Both the Owl Sector and my Hidden have been unable to gain control of these overrides. I suggest quarantine as a stopgap. CY6: Lodging an objection, based on previous experience. ZAV: She's right, though. It's the best option at the moment. IR: The only option. NOTE: Deej confirmed the Owl Sector Twitter account that popped up, conveniently after this all started, is fake: https://twitter.com/DeeJ_BNG/status/776523849336664064 - thanks /u/raahaahaa & /u/uTheLittleMoa Due to receiving false info, I won't be updating this, outside of chat logs, unless we receive verification
