Well rotation is pretty simple. The numbers you come up with (20 11 22 26 02 15 24) translate to TKVZBOX -- rotate that 7 times, and you get ARCGIVE. Unless you can think of a principled reason why the 4th (and only the 4th) letter should be rotated one more slot, I think this is an interesting coincidence. (By the way, in one of my manipulations the other day, I managed to get MAD NINA. Anybody know if there's a Nina connected with Bungie.org? 8-)
