 		[White District] Unnamed [SOLVED]
The reasoning is missing, but the answer is there
It looks like we got a new section of White District unlocked somehow...

Quote:
In an effort to sweep up any information we can glean, Defensecorp tries to pick up as much inter-office communication between bureaucrats as possible. Last night one of our embedded maintenance crew agents entered the office of Paul Benjamin, a Societal Information officer with the Senate propaganda offices. The agent found a note on the desk, along with a datachip containing two image files, which he copied. By comparing the note with stolen records of who entered and exited the building that day, we deduced that the message was likely left by Dr. Ross Reineer, a friend of Paul Benjamin's and an Assistant Operations Director from the Records and Statistics bureau.

Internal Affairs has been watching these two for a while, and this may be the perfect chance to gain some valuable information. Benjamin and Reineer are old world college buddies, and often share questionable information. There is a chance that their friendly gossip could be very damaging if it should be overheard by the wrong people.

Aside from being friends, these two also share a love of puzzles. Their personal web pages are full of ciphers, old brain teasers, and games. From the mysterious note left with the images, it seems as though Reineer has encrypted "the name you wanted" somehow as a sort of challenge to Benjamin. What is "the name you wanted"?

Take a look at the note and the two images and try and break this thing open.


This puzzle has a "BCC back to sender" option, which I'd assume is a "betray to the Underground" choice.

 		I have the answer, but not the way we were supposed to get it.

I matched up figures until I found something that resembled a word--picture below (zipped so as not to spoil).

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
The answer is FORGE


EDIT: Upon further research, Arthur H. Stone discovered the flexagon - this puzzle is likely a tetraflexigon. Don't know why we have ?Greek? letters in the upper right of the instruction sheet though.

 		I don't have the credits to try the solution, but i also came up with that this evening. Have you tried it?

Also, the Greek in the corner is mirorred and reads "ex tetra" or "in four." A clue to the solution by the splitting and re-arrangement of the pieces.

 		Yes. I tried it, and it worked. It is most definitively solved.
