 		Ooooh. I bet you that's from the file about the joke those guy's installed into LAINSY that Orein never heard.

 		That's exactly what it was from. I was surprised no one asked before me!

 		I've emailed Alex. Maybe the technicians know where this joke was sourced from? (If it wasn't made up by the PM's themselves)

Edit: His response
Quote:

What joke? Is it about the fisherman who claimed he caught two dead fishes?


I'm prodding a little further.

Also those numbers make me think of a Gronsfield cipher which is almost like vigenere cipher. But then again they haven't changed the encoding method on us now.

Quote:
I'm not sure where it came from. It was some sort of inside joke between the Whispher project team that they inserted into LAINSY (when we are still able to "teach" it) and as some sort of easter egg in the Whispher project prototypes.

Since it's in fact and inside joke, I don't see it funny nor do I know what it means or what it is exactly about. I'll ask someone if they know anything about it.


It makes it highly likely this joke may be the key to the OREIN file since it is in the Whispher folder *Shurgs* but I could be wrong.

 		Well I guess you could try to send the cipher text to LAINSY directly. Maybe the PM's will bash us with the clue stick with the joke again.

The only other thing is may "dead" as a key word. Though I would be worried if the two keys were orein and dead. (The main reason I think dead as the key was because it's futile to try to catch dead fish.) Though like Alex I don't find the joke funny myself.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Negative. That block of text doesn't mean anything to me.


Some humor:

Quote:
Can you clean up my brains after I spray them across my room with a shotgun?

Quote:
LAINSY SAYS: QUERY PROCESSED

Negative. I can't do.

 		Okay now i'm giving LAINSY some random stuff to see if I can get anything.

1.Who is the scarlet master? (I think we already know but confirmation is good.)

Quote:


LAINSY SAYS: QUERY PROCESSED

The scarlet master is Genus Orein



Okay off the yep document possible keys

 		Damnit, I think I used OREIN and SCARLETMASTER but never MASTER then SCARLET...

Anyway, LAINSY processed the joke as logic, and this was her answer:

Quote:
The man of twenty phrases never said he had one. His baskets are empty and were not meant for the bread he baked. Fishes do not drown, and the two he caught were dead. It was a futile act showing the man had serious mental issues.

 		used what? I don't get it. Am I missing something here?

Anyways, the joke was much funnier when LAINSY kinda explain it. ANyways, anyone here who had decrypted the files? I'm still having a hard time on it.

Xander cracked OREIN.txt, those were the key and passphrase...

Edit--Read the email! Razz

Quote:
Anyhow, if ever you are curious how this was cracked, the report says it was DECRYPTED with the alphabet key: master and passphrase: scarlet with with a reversed keyword, reversed alphabet, and keyword was put on the end of the alphabet. Good thing we had some data, and managed to trim down the time it took to solve it. Now, we'll proceed with the next one, which is the EMILY file. If you get it cracked ahead of us, feel free to fire aways so that we won't be wasting time.

Which in s sentence roughly translates to:

The end shall come to everyone. There is nothing that could sto me from doing this. Not now after I've gone so far and for so long. There will be and end and it won't be for us. Not this time. Not for the people who had the best. For them and for their lives. They made a mistake in messing up our lives and tampering our so called history. The future will not be like theirs. Ours will be what it should be. The past is our future and the present day will be our last. It will end and I am the master and I am gifted to be the one who will change everything and bring the corrupt system down for I am Genus Orein and I shall succeed. This will be the best thing I could do for all.

And that, doesn't sound good to me. What do you think he means with this? I don't exactly get it.

Anyhow, if ever you are curious how this was cracked, the report says it was DECRYPTED with the alphabet key: master and passphrase: scarlet with with a reversed keyword, reversed alphabet, and keyword was put on the end of the alphabet. Good thing we had some data, and managed to trim down the time it took to solve it. Now, we'll proceed with the next one, which is the EMILY file.

I think he means, he's going to make sure the Afyg don't destroy our future to save their own. It's actually very good. He's trying to separate us from the Afyg by killing them off. No easy task, but they messed with our future first.

Quote:
I think I'll agree to that. But if you think about it again, why did those Afyg guys mess us up in the first place?

Quote:
I don't know. I don't think Genus knows either. I'm not sure it's worth the risk to know. Let's just wait until Orein comes back, whenever that will happen.

Quote:
Yeah, regarding that. There has been some intercepted signal, and it has been traced to be similar to the preparation for a launch sequence. In fact, it's launch sequence for an emergency launch. I'm not sure when the launch will be, because there's some sort of variances from the signals that was intercpeted. There's something different in it. We're still not sure. We'll figure out.


He hasn't launched yet.
