I'm a little confused because I haven't done any of the cyphering so far - but which page of the journal do we have left to cypher? the M # page?
thanks in advance.

Edit: what if it's binary code (just use lines of 8 )?

The middle Swift:
Entry 6 Page 1:

T F F I B H .
B 2 ƒ ƒ _
5 G T G M
Z Z B F p '
_ F B 5 F H
T F ƒ F p B (illegible)
F G H G B 5 ƒ
Z Z p Z ƒ H F
p 1 F 6 ƒ T
B F T F s B G
B Z Z p 2 F ' _

Entry 6 Page 2:

p F F F s _
' F F p '
F F B _ F B 5
F F p p H
B F s 2 F 2
1 ƒ G B Z B
5 2 p 2 _ 6
S B

Hi, I've been following this ARG for a few weeks now and that meet-up was absolutely hilarious - thanks for the videos!

Just de-lurking to say that I don't think the three businesswomen are the triumvirate, at least not if you take the literal Latin sense of the word - it means "of three men".

Regarding the last pages we need to decode:

I would recommend people look at the photo rather than the typed version. My friend (chateauRat002a) and I have been going back and forth on some characters. Specifically:

*1 vs l vs |
*2 vs z
*4 vs H
*5 vs s
*6 vs G
*p vs 10?
*B vs 3/13?

For instance, it is unclear to us whether all her 2-looking characters are always 2s. Sometimes they may be zs.
On the one hand if there is no distinction between when she writes a 2 or a z, then we are fine. We may not yet know which character she intends to use the whole time, but all that matters for the decryption is that it is the same character consistently. On the other hand, if the 2 and z (for instance) are different characters then the number of characters she uses jumps from somewhere around 14 to somewhere around 20.

I agree with TimeTraveller on the ambiguousness of certain letters...

Can the people who attended the meetup confirm that the businesswomen, uh, actually drank the milkshake? Kind of a ridiculous question to ask but as I was watching the video I noticed someone mention that most (if not all) of the milkshake was still left unconsumed.

EDIT: Also, I've been replacing the transcribed ciphers at the beginning of the thread with decoded entries as the puzzles get solved, if anyone cares.

I'd say it would be pretty illogical if the triumverate turned out to be the three businesswomen, considering they were the ones who handed over the diary! From a story standpoint that would make no sense.

This has probably been suggested before, but in one of the videos Joey mentions that rebel groups are joining together. Could the triumvirate be an alliance of three rebel groups?
