Marathon players urged to kill 500 million UESC to unlock Cryo Archive

Cryo Archive appeared in Marathon's zone selection menu yesterday (March 17) and remains locked as the community continues to solve a cryptic Destiny-style ARG puzzle. Bungie has provided the clearest instructions to date for getting inside. A mailbox message sent today (March 18) from 'Cryo.Archive_Admin' calls for players to destroy UESC forces, which reads: "uesc security deployed … lethal force authorized against all trespassers … uesc security lockdown across all zones … mitigation: mass elimination of uesc security units … their death machines march on your synthetic bones … return the favor … destroy them … all of them … thank you".

Parts of the community are calling for a "day of peace" to allow Runners to focus their efforts on killing UESC, while other fans don't need much convincing to destroy robots. "Looks like clankers are back on the menu boys," says one player on Reddit, as others try to work out how long it will take to reach the milestone.
