[Trailhead] Uplink Saga Got a tip about the following game: the chiptune music and graphics are pretty cool, but haven't had a chance to dig much deeper. Sort of a 16-bit, Red vs Blue feel.

So I got an email today:

Nice and simple to decode those bits, just Base64, which gives you

So it sounds like if anyone hasn't got any emails yet, it doesn't mean you wont get anything! I don't know if anyone else got it or they're already dispersing among multiple agents, sorry if you all did and this was irrelevant.
EDIT: The subject was "We must avoid detection"

I found no pictures in the e-mails I received, but there was plenty of humour? The sorrow! Oh well! I'm still here and...very, very curious.

This looks, to me, like the floor layout of the room in the video.

I thought the same, I think there's still more images to come which is why I haven't posted this already, but I reckon it's a floor plan or something (could the G1 bit of Amelia's picture be like, ground floor?). There's still gaps, but they must be made to be put together, the lines on the diag picture match up perfectly with the blocks on the G1 picture.
EDIT: All of the transparent bits come out as black, which makes it hard to see some of the second image and makes it look filled in when there's actually a load of gaps, so I've added a white background so you can see what's supposed to be transparent clearly.

I got a new layer of the image I got another layer of the image. I'm including my version and the combined image. I used a green background for the combined images to show the transparency. It looks like a building to me.
