[[File:IRIS Transmission Log Day 1.png|thumb|The countdown website's first appearance.]]
On the last page (page 4) of the [[Halo 3: The Cradle of Life]] comic there are three comic strip panels that can be clicked on over and over and/or dragged to reveal mysterious numbers. These numbers are as follows: Strip One - 206., Strip Two - 16. over 223., Strip Three - 65. These numbers were later discovered to be an IP address by Bungie.net forum goers. By typing http://206.16.223.65/ into the url box, people would be linked to a webpage owned by Microsoft with a message saying that you do not have permission to view this page.  
The IP address of the site has been traced to "Microsoft Way - Redmond, Washington".
Later in the evening, the webpage opened to reveal an alien looking website with the text:


'''Transmission Log''', also known as '''206.16.223.65''', was a website tied to the first episode of [[Iris]] called "[[The Unknown Helper]]". Found on the last page of the ''[[Halo 3: The Cradle of Life]]'' comic, the Transmission Log featured a countdown on it that was running down in base 7 integers to the June 21, 2007.{{Ref/Site|Id=IRISTransmissionLog15th|URL=http://206.16.223.65/|Site=Transmission Log|Detail=June 15|D=16|M=06|Y=2007|LocalArchive=Transmission Log}}{{Ref/Site|Id=IRISTransmissionLog17th|URL=http://206.16.223.65:80/Default.aspx|Site=Transmission Log|Detail=June 17|D=18|M=06|Y=2007|LocalArchive=Transmission Log}}

Found on the last page of the ''[[Halo 3: The Cradle of Life]]'' comic, the Transmission Log featured a countdown on it that was running down in base 7 integers to the June 21, 2007. Periodically the text changed, giving updates that seemingly related to the status of [[Adjutant Reflex]] who was interacting with users on [[Bungie.net]].

'''''000 000 000 000 Remaining'''''
 
 
("''0''" represents the numbers in the countdown. From left to right, the four three-digit numbers represented days, hours, minutes and seconds.)
 
 
When bookmarked, the page will be named by default "Transmission Log". Nobody yet knows what the webpage is counting down to and it is strange that the countdown will skip numbers with the digits 7, 8 and 9 (for example, it will countdown like 32, 31, 30, 26, 25, 24, etc. It will also countdown like 102, 101, 100, 66, 65, 64, etc.). It is also strange that the "minutes" and "seconds" (and possibly "hours") columns of the timer start at the number "113". However, the digit skipping could be explained by the possibility that the timer is counting in Base [[List of "Seven" references in Halo|Seven]] instead of Base Ten. If this is true, the timer is counting down to midnight on Thursday, June 21, 2007. June 21 happens to be summer solstice.
A clear reference to this is made with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stonehenge Stonehenge cromlech] quoted on the [[Society of the Ancients]] website. The cromlech in United Kingdom is made to be aligned with the sun on the summer solstice.


On June 18 the site had a "System Breach" where the countdown speed increased, and on 1 PM Eastern Standard time the timer on the countdown ran down to 0. It was shortly replaced by a much longer, much slower moving countdown. And then replaced later with a stationary countdown with the numbers '001 012 034 053' on June 19. On June 20 the site redirected users to the [[Bounce Path Control]] and by extension the first [[Server]].

BoonIsha at unfiction noted that the stopped countdown timer of "001-012-034-053", when treated as GPS coordinates 1.12, 34.53 result in a location in South Africa. Further investigation reveals that the point is in the middle of the largest caldera in the world, at the tip of Mount Elgon, also home to some "unusual caves", and not far from Voi.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
On the morning of June 21<sup>st</sup>, all notion of the time disappeared and it now redirects you to a new IP address. It redirects to: http://206.16.223.61/E5h2JK/flash/web/index.html and this site has a screen asking you if you live in North America or Europe, and asks for your birth date. After gaining entrance to the site, a flash animation appears and a Forerunner looking relic comes from out of a hallway and starts floating and spinning in front of you. The user has the ability to spin the relic in any horizontal direction. When you bookmark this page it is labeled as "Server 5 Open". This is almost definitely in relation to the the 5 servers on the Halo 3 webpage. The relic is clearly Forerunner in design and upon further inspection, has the same symbol on it's back as the one in the [[Iris]] page.If you click on some of the symbols, it allows you to download 4 different documents. 2 text files and
2 pictures. One of the symbols enables a flash animation.

If the image named "Slide_Ref070107" which has a posible date of 5th july 2007 is trying to link to something either happening on the site or could lead to anoughter clue in the new books said to release in july. this may possibly be the release date or may refer to a certain date in the books "Four-Issue Miniseries Featuring All-New Adventures and Artwork Launches July 2007" this may be the next part of the Iris marketing campaign.

The hidden messages only appear if the symbol on the back of the artifact is pressed before pressing the symbol that starts the flash animation. During the video, an image similar to the misfiring of Delta Halo can be seen. This could provide conclusive evidence that the relic is Forerunner in origin.
