[UPDATE] The Ooze Zone - 29th June 2006 - Cracker

Quote:

Cracker

You guys have been busy. I got a couple of messages (JD - you know who you are) suggesting I entice Nev with a juicy bit of cryptography.

It wasn't a bad plan, and Anna Heath had just come up with some evidence - not proof, just evidence - connecting Crypto to the stolen tech hardware, so it certainly seemed worth a go.

JD sent over a neatly enciphered message written by a guy called Scott. For those of you who want to crack it, here's a copy:

No offence taken, Scott.

Anyway, I looked in at Crypto this morning and there was Nev, bent over his key. He never did know how to take a break.

"Caine! How are you? I'm not asking for a full medical report or psychological profile - it's just an enquiry based on popular social conventions. So. You. Okay?"

"I'm all right, Nev. You working hard?"

"Just trying to get ahead of myself. An impossible endeavour, in terms of both time and space, I realise, but I meant it metaphorically. I hope that was clear. What are you, what are you, what are you doing here? Except standing. And frowning. I can see you're doing that. It was more a question as to your intentions here, now, for being here, now."

"i was wondering if you could help me out..."

And so I gave him the enciphered note, saying we'd intercepted it from Earth, but that I was snowed under and having a bad day and nowhere near as good as him at this kind of thing and... anyway, he bought it.

With that out of the way, I sat on the edge of his desk and got all casual.

"Everything all right here, then? Nothing too stressful going on...?"

"No, no - everything's fine here. That's fine as in acceptable, not in the sense of top quality. One word, two very different meanings. I should really stop using such confusing terminology. Language is a terribly blunt instrument - perhaps I should just stop using it altogether. Hmmm."

And with that, he did. Clammed up completely.

I wasn't going to get anything else out of him, so that was it for the day.

He said he'll get back to me when he's cracked the cipher - which shouldn't take him long at all. I wonder what he'll make of it.

How could you tell if these guys were part of some grand conspiracy??? Its hard to even ask a simple question to them without getting lost by the end of the answer! Confused

Well Scott had the words, but you had the technique! Nice one.

Haven't broken your 1st one yet, so I might play with this... (as I supposedly know what it says already)
