Use this thread to discuss theories and keep track of clues and hints. Also, please post here the link to any document (or similar) created to cooperate on the mission. Meanwhile I'll try to keep this post updated with useful info and hints.

I'm stuck on alpha. I enter the answer but It just won't take it for some reason, am I missing something? It's Spoiler: Answer 2837 right? That answer won't work for me.
Yes, that is correct. How strange. You are trying to enter it in the Alpha Lock and not the front door? It's the only thing I can think of. If it's definitely the alpha door, then maybe drop a PM to one of the devs.

Spoiler: I'm dumb I spent a while trying to work out why it would not work then realised I had already been given the code for the front door. I was entering the ALPHA answer in the wrong place
Yup. Myself and Nikel both did shortly after the missions were released. More information about them in the Puzzle Piece thread.
Just in case anyone falls into my pitfall: Spoiler: Alpha It is not barbatos. Also the more I research this the more it seems like this answer is an error. There's nothing supporting this other than a single line in the wikipedia article that's not substantiated. Edit 3: The article was created with the factoid in 2003 and any sparse material that corroborates it was created way after that (and given identical verbiage most likely based on it). Now I'm super eager to know if this is really a case of Citogenesis.
