If this works- would we know how to hack the rest of the pages? because that doesn't seem very fun. . . .

With no information to narrow the search, you'd have to try 1336336 combos to get the 1st four letters of the rest of the codes. Then repeat 4 more times to get them all.

The omph would leave this world before then, I spec..

Here's section 5 as we beat this up in IRC. I adjusted the levels and tried to force in some dark sections for letter IDs...

We probably could, but who'd want to? I do like to go outside once in a while...

Not really, because we'd have no blueprint to go against to guess letters.

I'm 99% sure the second character is H. As for the rest, the first looks like a Q but is dropped like a number so forget that--2, maybe? Same story with the last one--it sure as hell looks like a J, but it's also dropped too far to be a letter...

2H?1.PDF? My brain is hitting the wall.

I think that the mark right after the last slash might be part of the drawing above it. This V looking mark seems too close to the slash.
