GENESIS
1:1
In the beginning Bungie created the tagset and the mesh.
1:2
And the mesh was without form, and void; and redness was upon the lines of the polys. And the Cursor of Bungie moved upon the face of the squares.
1:3
And Bungie said, Let there be light: and there was light.
1:4
And Bungie saw the light, that it was good: and Bungie divided the light from the darkness.
1:5
And Bungie called the light Ambient Lighting, and the darkness they called Shadowmap. And the shadows and the highlights were the first colormap.
1:6
And Bungie said, Let there be texts in the midst of the meshes, and let them divide the meshes from the meshes.
1:7
And Bungie made the texts, and divided the meshes which were after the texts from the meshes which were before the texts: and it was so.
1:8
And Bungie called the texts Journals. And the shadows and the highlights were the second colormap.
1:9 And Bungie said, Let the meshes under the tagset be gathered together unto one place, and let the levels appear: and it was so.
1:10
And Bungie called the levels maps; and the gathering together of the meshes called them campaigns: and Bungie saw that it was good.
1:11
And Bungie said, Let the mesh bring forth passabilities, the shrublike scenery, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose scenery is in itself, upon the mesh: and it was so.
1:12
And the mesh brought forth passabilities, and shrublike scenery after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose scenery was in itself, after his kind: and Bungie saw that it was good.
1:13
And the shadows and the highlights were the third colormap.
1:14
And Bungie said, Let there be facts in the texts of the tagset to divide the speculation from the observations; and let them be for sentances, and for paragraphs, and for journals, and stories:
1:15
And let them be for facts in the texts of the tagset to give light upon the mesh: and it was so.
1:16
And Bungie made two great facts; the greater fact to rule the story, and the lesser fact to rule the Asylum: they made the clues also.
1:17
And Bungie set them in the texts of the tagset to give light upon the mesh,
1:18
And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and Bungie saw that it was good.
1:19
And the shadows and the highlights were the fourth colormap.
1:20
And Bungie said, Let the meshes bring forth abundantly the killing monsters that hath AI, and theoretical creatues that may fly above the mesh in the open texts of tagset.
1:21
And Bungie created great Trow, and every undead creature that moveth, which the meshes brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every cursed fowl thing after his kind: and Bungie saw that it was good.
1:22
And Bungie blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the meshes in the games, and let fowl things multiply in the mesh.
1:23
And the shadows and the highlights were the fifth colormap.
1:24
And Bungie said, Let the mesh bring forth the hypothetical creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beast of the mesh after his kind: and it was so.
1:25
And Bungie drew pictures of the beast of the mesh after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the mesh after his kind: and Bungie saw that it was good.
1:26
And Bungie said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the media, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the mesh, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the mesh.
1:27
So Bungie created man in their own image, in the image of Bungie created he him; male and female created he them, but drew in the mesh only male.
1:28
And Bungie blessed them, and Bungie said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the mesh, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the media, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the mesh.
1:29
And Bungie said, Behold, I have given you every shrub-like scenery, which is upon the face of all the mesh, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
1:30
And to every beast of the mesh, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the mesh, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
1:31
And Bungie saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the shadows and the highlights were the sixth colormap.
