I'm late to the whole party but I've been reading. Observing. Speculating a bit of my own.
I wasn't able to find much about the ARG since I'm an old n00b here, but it seems fairly obvious that the prose on each of the final images is referring to a celestial body in the Solar System.
Day One: Sol
Day Two: Earth
Day Three: Venus
Day Four: Jupiter
Day Five: Mercury
Day Six: Mars
Day Seven: Pluto
Alpha Lupi's post of "7 - Only the trusted few..." could have meant that only these seven planets will be featured in Destiny. Yet, each count down could allude to a Destiny of some sorts (ex: "2 - Pushed to this place for a reason..." means it was DESTINY to have been pushed there).
Only thoughts I have on what I know and have learned at the moment.
However, has anyone overlaid the Final Image mosaic over the Puerto Princesa map to look for correlating points or coordinates? maybe it's showing each planet or body's corresponding range of gravity; gravity well? "Something is falling towards you. Or are you falling towards it?" Also, Wikipedia interestingly enough said that Alpha Lupi is the Tenth Star of Imperial Guards in the Chinese Root constellation. The Traveler guards humanity, right?
So... Are we falling towards the Traveler? or is the Traveler falling towards us?

Edited by Hylebos: 3/18/2013 6:26:57 AMThe entire poem itself, while alluding to different planets and such, appears to be an elegant poem from Bungie to the Community. The final passage makes everything clear: Destiny is too far away to "Share it's heat", but it can be plainly seen... At the possibillity of a reveal our Joy builds and the first hope in ages transforms us... How we feel like telling every star that we are strong again... The trusted few alluded in the first passage would be those on us on Bnet quite possibly :)
