...You mean you don't get those in Russia?

Hey, they have their limits.

Anyway, looks like they're testing their brand new reality warper.

[Dryunya]

Brent is on to the conspiracy.

OOOOOOHHHHHH.

Things are getting interesting...

Also, noticing the mention that Newlight are doing work in Australia. What did Adell say? "God knows what they did.."

OH CRAP.

Yeah obviously it's an oh crap moment. Though considering that New Light wont be in control for another 10 years, it's simple to asume they haven't made any major moves yet. It's tiny steps for whatever work they're doing in Aus.

And yeah I was deliberately pushing for some reference to Australia, I need to have some clue of what might be happening to it.

Maybe something slightly worse than Nuke 'em all.

What could be WORSE than 'nuke 'em all?

[Anura]

Ret Gone?

[The Wild West Pyro]

Ret Gone?

Australia into Eldrich Location and everyone Ret Gone and Kill 'em All?

Can we please stop discussing the fate of my country? It's something I'd like to prevent.

OK, OK.

Anyway, it looks like...well...another waiting game...

Should everyone just write more fics and submit them to the thread Matrx set up?

[Dryunya]

I'm intermittently working on mine, but I can't say it goes well. I'm trying, though.

It's actually a pretty tough assignment if you think about it.

[narrativedilettante]

If other people write more I can write a third!

'Cause I don't want to overwhelm the thread by posting story after story. But I like writing these.

Do so-he's going to need all the stories he can get to recharge.

I think Pyro's right. I've just added to the post myself, the more the merrier, I say.

[narrativedilettante]

I will gladly keep writing these, but I won't double post. So I'll only post new ones after there are other ones posted.

Got a really strange email from Brent earlier. I... have no idea what he's talking about. It's like he wrote it in a cipher or something.

Did someone say... ciphers?

[Dryunya]

My exact reaction. I'm pretty sure we can help her.

[SpiritfChaos]

You wanna ask or should I?

[Dryunya]

We have the code. Let's get cracking.

Transcript (I underlined the parts where I'm not sure):

Scrap 1, blue paper with horizontal lines:
TU(+1) IA(+1) IE (+1) OOHSKDLSY
TTSC (+1) BH (+3) EAEM (+1) HWD
MBHUDCOA (+3) BIAHE ?EF (+1) DE(+1)
RSGID

Scrap 2, yellow paper with horizontal lines:
YOM(+2)I! (+1) HOGT(+1) MKPSNOTEC
(+2) INHHERSH (+1) GTHOOTSI(+1)
COTEIRN

[Dryunya]

Now, thinking aloud about the cipher.

• This is not Caesarian shift. Brute-forcing different keys returns gibberish.
• I assume the circled numbers are keys, but which word do they apply to - the previous of the next one? In any case, one word on each scrap doesn't have a corresponding number, so how are we going to decode it?
• The first scrap has 50 letters, 1 punctuation mark, 9 circled numbers; the second one has 40 letters, 1 punctuation mark, 6 numbers. I think they are too different, and one can't be a key to the other.

[Sophira]

There are five 'words' that don't have a circled number after them:

Blue scrap:

• OOHSkDLSY
• HWD
• RSGID

Yellow scrap:

• MKPSNOTεC
• COTE9RN

(I'm not sure if the 9 I transcribed is actually supposed to be a 9, and I'm approximating as closely as I can with the ε; it's probably just supposed to be an E.)

One 'word' on the yellow scrap has a circled number right in the middle: YOM(+2)I!

*Slowly slides back into the darkness, away from all the scary, scary numbers*

Um. Yeah. Carry on, guys.

I concur.
