Whatever they know, we'll get it from them - Vector - 6/9/06

**Ghost**

On Friday, our sources tracking Anome's fugitive group discovered a plan involving the infiltration of business networks across the city, possibly in order to implant a virus that could have destroyed the city's data infrastructure. The information we recovered included the names of the four infiltrators: Gyrho, Voleta, Raivez, and Nare11er.

Tyndall alerted our operatives, and they proceeded to hunt down the spies, while simultaneously our hovercraft homed in on their ship. All four spies were located in time, but their own perimeter guards killed Voleta and Raivez, presumably to prevent them from talking. Since we had by that point taken control of their broadcast vessel and jammed their jacks so they couldn't escape from our operatives in the simulation, this death was permanent.

Chances are that Voleta and Raivez didn't really know what they were getting into. All of the four were low-level operatives, and according to the information we've got out of Gyrho and Nare11er, they were told just enough to infiltrate the corporations and attempt to open their firewalls to Anome's hackers from the inside. Promises of wealth and power lured them in, promises that Anome probably didn't mean to keep. Not that it really matters now.

But Anome may pay more than he counted on for his sacrificial sheep. We were able to use Nare11er's knowledge of Anome's servers to access their system and grab some data before they woke up and closed the ports. It's encrypted, and I think we've seen this encoding before:

Do we need to keep cleaning up your messes or will you finally get around to cleaning up some of ours?

As I said... When we get ahold of the vials, we'll tell you if the juice was worth the squeeze. SMILEY

Ahh, more progress. We'll get there. Slowly but surely, we'll get there.

Stay optimistic.

From doing the 4 characters then doing diagonal work, I get

" : Niobe's gonna start this thing off any time now so make sure you're in position. Botch this and I swear that....

It starts breaking up from there but appears to be something like "I swear that I'll see youre dead or begging me --Anome"

I think we get the idea though.

i noticed that you have an unused "Z" in there

**Hydrazine**

Azum : Niobe's gonna start this thing off any time now so make sure you're in position. Botch this and I swear to hell I'll see you dead before they get me --Anome

Figured out where the problem was, there is suppose to be a space in the Iis part. I assume there is a person named Azum? But I think this is the whole thing.

I'm going to make life easier for the rest of you...

**GamiSB**

Peer I think right now I love you as much as one straight man can love another.

**Hydrazine**

**bleep**.... dont think love is the word i would use right now.... lol

So the name is Azul, not Azum

Peer

Heh... this is more popular of a tool than I expected...

I've put up a better (will support more than one cryptology) one here: http://www.subnova.com/mxo/crypt/

Glad to be of help. :robotvery-happy:

Kicka*s Peer, nice one!

And one line stuck out to me there, let's put it in context of the scenario unfolding.

*Operatives working for Anome are murdered, Niobe spawns have appears, Ghost fought them off*

"Ghost, what are you doing here?"

D'oh!

**exsuscito**

I quit...again
