Should I go read the old thread, or start fresh on this one? Not much to go on so I realize that's just a guess but any opinions from anyone who followed the old one? In other words, do you think the old thread will be a spoiler or important background story?

It may be helpful to glance at the old threads as (at least so far) there are recurring players and some of the others may be surfacing. As for where this trail may lead, we cannot be sure if this will pick up from where the previous installment left off.
In other news, my last twitter encounter with Abby
Quote:
@AbbyPapanai Are you still hidden from the sun and the moon. How's the grilled cheese supply?
@spoonhead99 I am hidden although in different places frequently. Hope you are well for now.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Abby used to work in a top secret underground bio lab and her favourite snack food is grilled cheese.

KIFO which is Swahili for death
And who is CI001? Confidential Informant perhaps?
Is rumkin down?

From her twitter page it looks like the lab has been compromised and Abby is free. Who knows what else is free...

From the Z1 twitter feed we have
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
CI001 |YOU ARE SEEKING CONTROL9 - NORMAL PROTOCAL| BRKT
And from Abby
Quote:
It is up to God and Control. My purpose in life is so uncertain.
Is this the same Control and where are they?
Also from Abby
Which has way too many possible explanations.

Could we please get in the habit of stating what cipher was used, what the key is (if there is one) and how the key was found/discovered. I get more enjoyment out of LEARNING how to solve these than from being TOLD what the deciphered message is. And hopefully we can all learn what clues to look out for in the future. Thank you very much.

Adam. So agree which is why I stated twice in my spoilered post they are all CRYPTOGRAMS. They can simply be put into any CRYPTOGRAM solver w/o any key. That said I think spoonhead finding a key was mega bril. Do HTH you. Yaha, spoonhead, Rumkin is down tho there are over a dozen CRYPTOGRAM solvers on the web.

New post from Z1 and Abby
I'm going with some kind of Math symbol substitution.

I'll second the substitution idea - the characters are from different alphabets. Definitely some Greek but others too. Let's see where that goes.

Yikes! Looks like the first bit could be 'control9' but w/o the key and no spaces it's tough to penetrate.

Codes make my brain hurt. If this helps I did map the characters to letters. I ran it through some on-line crypto solvers and got nothing. Not sure if the number at the end were numbers. Also not sure if the third char second line is a U or a not closed correctly O.
A B C D E B F G H C G B I C
J K L E H A K M D K D H B C
D K C N B O P Q E B I H J R
F R I R F S M R A I E H D T
J R D K H F O S U V – O G U V
Maybe 7 and 9 are really just 7 and 9, or even all the numbers are numbers? I assume the dash is a dash since every line is 14 char long except line 5 and that has the dash.
I didn't think this was worthy of spoiler-ing ?

or, with numbers all left as numbers:
A B C D E B F 9 H C 9 B I C
J K L E H A K M D K D H B C
D K C N B 7 P Q E B I H J R
F R I R F 4 M R A I E H D T
J R D K H F 7 4 1 2 – 7 9 1 2
