In Response To: This clue do not eat (Chelsea Bridge)

Even the name of the post drips with clues...
The title is a reference to Soffish, another one of those Bungie-isms that we may never know anything about (somewhat like Ling-ling, although less famous).

Head to soffish.bungie.com to see what I mean.

This leads me to believe the letters pointing to numbers on the "clocks" is a good path to taste. Each letter in "ARRIVAL" points to two letters on the outside of the dials, like hands on the face of a clock. It makes a whole lot of sense, when you look at all the clock sayings Chelsea has had in the past. Even now, the "what was supposide to be there, and what wasn't" pretty much tells us that we are not going to use all the numbers. In fact, we're probably only going to use 14.

Patterns, patterns.... what could that mean? Perhaps we're supposed to come up with a new set of numbers from the ones on the dials? We'd find a specific pattern in the dial (or perhaps just the "correct" numbers), and use it to determine the new numbers. I think.

These are either the birds perched atop the castle, or cuckoos springing from clock...
Anyway, they're beckoning. Anybody got a bow and arrow?
