And Bungie remembered Noah, and every ranking thing, and all the newbies that were with him in the order: and Bungie made a calm to pass over the leaderboard, and the signals assuaged;
8:2
The ports also of the server stopped and the games were restarted, and the rain from Bungie was restrained;
8:3
And the signals returned from off the leaderboard continually: and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the signals were abated.
8:4
And the order rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the server of Clanplaid.net.
8:5
And the signals decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the celestials seen.
8:6
And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the order which he had made:
8:7
And he sent forth a crow, which killed things to and fro, until the signals were dried up from off the leaderboard.
8:8
Also he sent forth a Heron from him, to see if the signals were abated from off the face of the leaderboard;
8:9
But the Heron found no rest for the edge of his blade, and he returned unto him into the order, for the signals were on the face of the whole leaderboard: then he put forth his hand, and took him, and pulled him in unto him into the order.
8:10
And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the Heron out of the order;
8:11
And the Heron came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in his mouth was a hunk of meat cut off: so Noah knew that the signals were abated from off the leaderboard.
8:12
And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the Heron; which returned not again unto him any more.
8:13
And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the signals were dried up from off the leaderboard: and Noah removed the covering of the order, and looked, and, behold, the face of the metaserver was dry.
8:14
And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the leaderboard dried.
8:15
And Bungie spake unto Noah, saying,
8:16
Go forth of the order, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.
8:17
Bring forth with thee every ranking thing that is with thee, of all rank, both of daggar, and of crown, and of every ranking thing that ranketh upon the leaderboard; that they may breed abundantly in the metaserver, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the metaserver.
8:18
And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him:
8:19
Every shield, every ranking thing, and every daggar, and whatsoever ranketh upon the leaderboard, after their kinds, went forth out of the order.
8:20
And Noah builded an altar unto Bungie; and took of every unranked player, and of every unranked newbie, and offered blasted offerings on the altar.
8:21
And Bungie smelled a sweet savor; and Bunige said in their heart, we will not again curse the mesh any more for the Comet's sake; for the imagination of the Comet's heart is evil from his youth; forever will I again smite every thing ranking, as I have done.
8:22
While the mesh remaineth, newbies and celests, and ranked and unranked, and comets and daggars, and Light and Dark shall not cease.
