In the levels [[The Armory]] and [[Cairo Station]] in [[Halo 2|''Halo 2'']], the player can find a '''hidden message''' Easter egg. The easter egg can also be found on the DLC map [[Elongation]], which utilises several assets from Cairo Station.


In the level, the [[The Armory (Level)|Armory]] in [[Halo 2|''Halo 2'']], the player can find many '''hidden messages'''. Here are some of them:
On almost every control panel in the [[Armory A-01|armory]] as well as multiple control panels throughout the rest of Cairo Station there is a screen with the message:
*On almost every control panel in the armory, there is at least one screen with a message:

*On the Control Panel in the corner of the room, behind the armor plates, there is two lines of ten blinking lamps. Over and between them is some really small text. On the top of the first line the message says "FUSION GRID STATUS" and on top of the second line it says "BLINKING LIGHT SIMULATOR".
*On the floor in the shield tester, there is a warning saying: "Warning! Unauthorized personnel must stand clear".
*To the right of the elevator is a pile of boxes. One of them contains the deadly [[VX 7 Nerve Gas]].
*If you look at the different boxes you can find some interesting items, like Marine Boots, the mobile turret that Sgt. Johnson carries at the start of the "Cairo Station" before the "Home Field Advantage" part. There are even some meals.
*"Rev. Pain" is the player name for one of Halo's creators from Bungie studios.
*The "Wu" may refer to Louis Wu, the alias of the admin of Halo.Bungie.Org or also the protagonist in the science fiction story, "Ringworld" by Larry Niven, sharing many of Halo's themes.
*If you jump around and do not face Guns while he is talking before stepping on the red square, he will make comments.
*When Johnson comes up with the elevator, you can push Guns into the elevator and he will come down in it with you, but you cannot push him out from the elevator.

The message.

In the levels The Armory and Cairo Station in Halo 2, the player can find a hidden message Easter egg. The easter egg can also be found on the DLC map Elongation, which utilises several assets from Cairo Station.

On almost every control panel in the armory as well as multiple control panels throughout the rest of Cairo Station there is a screen with the message: 

 CODED MESSAGE: WU 1120
 REJECTED BY ADMINISTRATOR REV. PAIN
 MAY CONTAIN HARMFUL CONTENT.
 RESULTANT PSYCHOLOGICAL DAMAGE
 ACTION: CENSORED

"Rev. Pain" is the player name for one of Halo's creators from Bungie. The "Wu" may refer to Louis Wu, the alias of Claude Errera, the admin of halo.bungie.org. Alternatively, "Wu" may be a reference to Michael Wu, a senior employee at Bungie who worked as a single-player environment artist for Halo 2; he may have been personally responsible for the Easter egg and included his own name.[1]

The Easter Egg does not appear in the Halo 2: Anniversary remastered graphics mode.
