WEEK 5: coded note in arrival room (arumat)

[antietam]

[ At first glance, the note is a random jumble of letters. However, if Arumat uses that alphabet he wrote down and replaces the matching letters for their corresponding letters in the actual alphabet, it will create a message. ]

Good job. Sorry about the hunt, but I wanted to make it hard to track for the people in charge. You're the only one who will have this specific 'code'. I think this will be a good way to exchange information without danger of being caught.

Of course, that's untested. You don't have to participate. If you'd like to, respond in kind with code on this note and put it back. If there's anything you're looking to find out, let me know. We can create a web of information this way.

{ Verily, the pale-haired Eldarian considered the idea to be ingenious. Whilst he knew that there was possibly a way to get around the AI via language, he hadn't the patience to think up a code himself. Ha ha ha.

He's still slightly miffed about the hurdles he had to go through, but he figured it may not be too bad.

He begins to write down the code and then he does place it back. }

I'm testing this out. It is a good idea -- I discussed alternative forms of communication once before with a certain lad here, but I believe this method will suffice.

As for anything I'm "looking" to find out, it'd be anything about the Cradle Project and its history. As well as anything in general concerning our situation.

Naturally, since we will be in contact with each other, I will extend the same courtesy to you. That is all.

[ It's a slow method of communication in particular, but at least it's something. Within a few hours, Adam will collect the note, go back to his room, and write something down on another piece of paper. Later on, he puts it in the same pod but in a different position so that he'll know it's been replaced. ]

Thanks for responding. Let me know if you think up a better method of communication or would like these notes set up somewhere else. It's malleable.

My partner from last week told me he found something on a datapad that had a few implications for the project. Specifically, that its focus seems to be testing human psychology. I believe the way the motives are set up confirms this. Likely they are testing what will make humans kill.

My focus right now is on the third parties listed in the rulebook. The reason I made this was because I suspect they aren't able to speak out for fear of 'failing' their duties. If you've heard anything, I'll be discreet.

{ Time has gone by, but at an extremely late hour that could be considered morning, on the eve of Week 5, Arumat comes on by. }

It's simply a twisted experiment. That is what it is.

Hmph, in regards to the third parties, I believe you're correct in that assumption. No one is going to wish to give an indication as of yet in regards to their identity, goals or motivations.

...

After all, they would want to resign from this project, just like everyone else.

I'll let you know when I hear some more, but I also thought to attach something to this as well. Written in our code, too, of course.

It's more just so something can be used to organize what we've learned while we trade information here.

{ Another note has been added on top of this, and as Arumat indicated it was written in his code. }
