Bungie's Destiny (http://www.joystiq.com/game/destiny) has existed in one form or another since at least 2009, a new discovery in Halo 3: ODST indicates. The above image shows a poster found inODST, which portrays a planet within close proximity to a large white sphere, with the message "DESTINY AWAITS" scrawled above. The similarities between this image and the recently leaked Destiny concept art (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/27/bungie-confirms-leak-of-story-info-concept-art-for-destiny/) is undeniable, especially the title screen-esque image obtained by IGN (http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/11/28/destiny-story-details-concept-art-leaked).

Former Bungie employee and Halo series level designer Vic Deleon hasconfirmed (https://twitter.com/vicdeleon/statuses/274066360466800641) the connection, exclaiming that the secret had "FINALLY BEEN FOUND!" on Twitter. In light of these events, we've decided to dig even further into the annals of Halo lore by running the entirety of Halo: The Fall of Reachthrough an anagram construction algorithm and seeing what we come up with. Should that prove fruitless, we'll start decompiling the code for Pathways into Darkness (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathways_Into_Darkness).
