 		And now Citizen Spywatch is harassing the Citizen Soldiers by telephone.

The majority of the discussion of their latest (and, to date, most inept) campaign can be found here: Phone call from Spywatch

My contribution to the discussion is as follows:

Quote:
Since they used communications channels that were previously established by Citizen Skywatch to distribute this message, we can only assume that Spywatch has infiltrated the ranks of the Citizen Elite. I doubt any but they would have had access to the communications systems used when Citizen 13 was on the run.

I have managed to make a recording of the message delivered by these persons. I am attempting to decipher it, but I have noticed something rather unusual about the speaker - he seems to have a British accent, as well as typically British mannerisms of condescension. Most suspicious indeed.

EDIT: Here's what I've been able to decipher so far:

"This is a message from Citizen Spywatch."

Hobo*, Jeep°, Pictureˆ, Easy, Palª, Jokeˉ, Easy, Victor, Care†, Care†, Dog, Cab‡, Dog, Easy, Teacher, Easy, Care†, Victor, Easy, Baker, Charlie, Hobo*, Able, Hobo*, Item, Teacher, Able, Hobo*, Cab‡, Care†, Roger, Palª, William, Loveۚ, Able, George, Major˘, Roger, Major˘, Fox΅, Palª, Eagle¥, Loveۚ.

"SPYwatch, not SKYwatch, darlings! Keep your eyes on the lies!"

NOTES:

* - This might be "Oboe".

° - This might be "Chief", "Cheap", or "Cheese".

ˆ - This might be "Victor".

ª - This might be "Hal" or "How".

ˉ - This might be "Choke".

† - This might be "Tare" or "Dare".

‡ - This might be "Cap", "Cat", "Gab", or "Nab".

ۚ - This might be "Glove".

˘ - This might be "Danger".

΅ - This might be "Box".

¥ - This actually sounds like "Eoku" to me, but that's not a word.

EDIT THE SECOND:

The number that my telephone call came from was (215) 710-8162. This is, if memory serves, the same number that Citizen Skywatch used for Operation: TOMATO POWDERKEG.

 		They appear to be using the old US Navy Alphabet. At least for mine it worked -
Able Baker Charlie Dog Easy Fox George How Item Jig King Love Mike Nan Oboe Peter Queen Roger Sugar Tare Uncle Victor William X-ray Yoke Zebra

Code:
My message was -
tieynueiereaphtahbsreesnprdtefeaaeohistreld

and another one posted sounds like -
dbevtgrifsysdpahcaeuadhhhascisoadtsnemehtay

here are a couple more:
oevehjevtpdndetehvebcoaoitaonprhwlagtrtfhsl
Oevecjevppdcdetepvebcoaoetaonprcwlagtrpfcsl
QEVEHYEVPPDNDEPEPVETSO---PA--NPR--AGPRP--S

yleriocehoohursfseyhhyswsennuogehilhroeoeie

I found the 4 phone numbers we've seen so far and called them up to hear them for myself. These are what I think they are:
Code:
dbevtgrifsysdpahcaeuadhhhascisoadtsnemehtay 1-213-985-7161
oevehyevttdndepetvebcoaoipaontrhwlagprpfhsl 1-215-710-8162
nleriocehootursfsenttnswsennuogehiltroaoeie 1-415-817-9975
tieynueiereaphtahbsreesnprdtefeaaeohistreld 1-617-505-1786

Last edit for the night - read the letters down each column and you get -
Don't believe everything you receive. If the story doesn't add up perhaps the facts have been subtracted. One has shown his papers and continues to forge ahead. What lies along the primrose path for the easily led?

 		New phone calls
This afternoon people started receiving morse code phone messages. The two that I am aware of were approximately:

FAFGXGAAFAAFDGGGDGXXAXFFGFFGFAAGDGAXGDGF, DXAXAXFXFDFGFFDGGGFGGDDGFFDDAXXAAXFFGGGF.
GDAXAFGDGXDGDDFGGGDFAXGDGFAAFFAGGFGGAAXGDGFFAFFGFFGGAAAFGGRGDGGFDFAAFAFAGDAXGGGXGDFF.
GGDFDDDFDGGFAFDDGGDGXXAXFFFGFFAX

and

GGDFGDAXAAGGFGDAAXFFAXFDXGDGFFDADGFAGGGDAAGGDGFGFFFDGXGFGGADAXAGAXAAFAGGXDDGGGDF.
DDFGDGFFDDGXFFAGAXGDDDGDFGGXFFAG.GGDFDGGFDGGFAFDGGGDGXXAXFFFGFFAX.

If you use a Polybius checkerboard with ADFGX down the side and across the top you will get something close to the following:

LOYAL CITIZEN SOLDIERS. KEEP MONITORING EVENTS.
RECRUIT OTHERS AND STAY IN CONTACT. I SHALL RETURN.
THIS IS CITIZEN ONE.

THREAT OF ENEMY INFILTRATION MUST BE DEALT WITH.
GOING UNDERGROUND. THIS IS CITIZEN ONE.
