Marathon Lore - The MIDA Rising ARG & The new Marathon Trailer Explained!

Marathon's Lore and Story are a relative unknown, but Bungie recently teased the official reveal of the game on April 12th. In doing so, Marathon's latest trailer was unveiled at the end of a massive ARG, which prominently featured MIDA, the UESC and the Traxus Corporation. Players rushed to solve the ARG's solution and in the process uncovered a variety of secrets. Today I wanted to give a brief summary of the ARG's solving process, the narrative behind the ARG and what the lore implications of MIDA Rising in this manner might be.

A massive thanks to the Marathon community for solving the ARG, including the community discord and many streamers including MrRoflWaffles, Skarrow, Bog on my Dog, Falloutplays, Aztecross, CBGray, Activee & more! In particular I'd check out Skarrow & Milo's channels for more in depth ARG breakdowns. Their perspectives will be more complete if you want to get the more complete picture.
