New to me, and as thermoplyae said it's in reference to Hamish Sinclair, but still - this expanation here, well, it'd damn poetic, and very interesting.
: Storkinator on the Pfhorums pmade a pretty amazing post a day or so ago and

: "I have always been confused by the Hanger 96 we see, "as if from
: an old dream." There are many clues, though the best one is the
: secret map "Hats Off to Eight Nineteen" which we see grainy,
: green images of in some of the terminals. Are Hanger 96 and 8.19 the same
: level? When did we have this old dream?
: Part of the introductory text at Bungie's old site read: STATUS REPORT
: At 0820 hours the UESC Marathon Space Station came under surprise attack by
: unknown alien forces. You were returning from the colony in a shuttle that
: was also attacked. Your escape pod reached the Marathon 30 minutes after
: the attack started.
: The most intruiging part of the status report is the time the Marathon was
: attacked. 820. Hmmm, 819? 820?
: Could we have been asleep in our shuttle, dreaming about Hanger 96 until the
: moment the UESC Marathon was attacked? Was 0819 hours our last moment of
: freedom, the last moment before our lives were changed forever by the
: Pfhor, the Marathon, and Durandal? People take their hats off for several
: reasons. Perhaps the "Hats Off" is in mourning."
