Whoaaaa, I come home to find that all the ciphertext has been released and everyone is tearing into it like y'all were the Rosenberg Clinic and the message was an unethically obtained cadaver. Nice going! The text appears to read:
We've been transcribing it as a group over at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RJeD0BVAVkx1hdncUXVAT1YXYb1mlp2P1e_0APpxk0o/edit seems like we're getting the same stuff
Okay we need as many agents as possible working on this https://docs.google.com/document/d/1I8SHADivcH_foPydjUUsy4AQjEIisTOlisRJqAjkA8A/edit
Sent an e-mail to dispatch with the picture: Spoiler: E-Mail to Dispatch "Hello Dispatch, Agent Kakuzen here Instructions for Banishment Ritual were decoded. Here are the instructions. Have the Strike Team follow them to the fullest. Thanks." Will wait for Dispatch's reply in the next few hours.
we're most definitely not okay missing that one tile that one missing tile is going to give me countless nights without sleep i won't be able to go a second without wondering what could possibly be behind that one missing tile it's going to frustrate me over and over again for the rest of my life
Obviously! What if there is an emoji on that square that is crucial to the missions success? I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if we failed the mission because of a winkey face!
I sent dispatch a picture of the decoded document. They just replied. Agent Asvar Tyros, Excellent work. We have received the document and are currently performing an immediate investigation into the specific instructions required for the banishment ritual. Agents should be prepared to execute the banishment ritual and gather the supplies necessary for it. If we require deployment, then we will notify agents through our agency email server. --- Division 66
My response was pretty much the same from Dispatch when I sent them the document: Agent Kakuzen, Understood, all active agents did an excellent job with this code breaking task. We will begin an immediate analysis of the document and try to determine the exact instructions. Agents should be prepared to execute the banishment ritual and gather the supplies necessary for it. If we require deployment, then we will notify agents through our agency email server. --- Division 66
Great teamwork! That was one fast paced decryption Marathon I just wish, i could have been of more help than just a line of code here and there but I'm right now surveying the local psychiatry for cases of demonic possession
Received notification of the initiation of mass decryption while at work and by the time I get home...it's done, excellent work! Do we have any ideas on the parts of the letter that are obscured by those burn marks?
We have some ideas... first(horizontal) burn mark is probably 'mixture' or something like that. First word covered by the vertical burn is probably 'pressed' or 'crushed', second word covered is probably 'following'.
