There's a little twitter bird on the website and the toucan is a bird so I looked at twitter and found:

Maybe some sort of cipher with X in it, like for his twitter its an atbash for Xanonymous.I just joined in today so I'm not sure but have we seen any other names, website address, etc. that could be applied to this X person?

Okay, so now on a plot standpoint, it looks like SI is all Evil or Very Mad

at Quincy who's all Twisted Evil

at the idea of attacking Abigail. And this Zena Manuscript. To no surprise, Google brings up nothing about it, but I wish we knew why these guys were so obsessed over it. I wonder if Catherine would answer a few questions about it. Back to that bottom text. Anyone made any developments?

Great job, booba !!!

I had correctly surmised that "the Zena Manuscript" was included 3 times in the message plain text (based on letter-in-word count, and started to do a Vigenere decipher, but had to use a 32-letter key to get 2 of the 3 inclusions to decipher correctly, and nothing else was making any sense.

Good work in finding the correct cipher !
