Alien Map Pawns

  • These will be used to track positions on the terrain map.

Intercepted Note

  • This was dropped by Theo and picked up by Jeremy.
  • The symbols in the octagon shapes represent numbers. Convert the "numbers" in Theo's list on the opposite sides to ascending numbers 1-11.
  • The numbers in the triangles must equal the sum of all touching octagon numbers.
  • The numbers must be written in sequence top to bottom ("start at midnight") and working clockwise ("work till the eleventh hour").
  • The new code is:
    • 21, 24, 25, 30, 26, 18
  • We must now align this new code with the original one we had Jordan try and find the median (average between each two-digit sum).
    • 21 → 15
    • 24 → 06
    • 25 → 17
    • 30 → 04
    • 26 → 16
    • 18 → 12
  • Add each group together and divide by two to find the median. This gives us:
    • 18, 15, 21, 17, 21, 15
  • The word "octagon" precedes the coded message.
  • Octagons have 8 sides. Shift the letters in the code backward by 8.
  • Once decoded, the message reads:
    • "between two lone peaks south of a forest"
  • Using this clue to find Theo's location on the terrain map, we come up with:
    • S-16

Jeremy's Alien Codex

  • The symbols Jeremy found carved into things are similar to the ones on Theo's biotech sketch in Episode 3.

Jeremy's Letter

  • The emergency frequency is 319.315.
  • This number needs to be shifted by the number of the last sector Jeremy and Jordan were in before getting separated.
    • NACS is located in sector T-2.
  • Shifting the emergency frequency forward by 2 gives us:
    • 531.537

Jordan Map Pawn

  • This will be used to track Jordan's position on the terrain map.

Map Detail

  • This will be used on the terrain map.

Pawn Holders

  • These are used to hold the map pawns.
  • You must punch out the small plastic pieces in the inserts in order to fit the pawns in comfortably.

Ration Box

  • There is a symbol from Theo on the back of the box.
  • Inside are more pawns and pawn holders for our terrain map.

Movement Strategies

Burrower

  • They only move forward in straight lines.
  • They cannot see humans while it is underground.
  • They move two sectors per hour before coming back to the surface. It then freezes in place.
  • They don't see very well, but if you are right on top of it they will see or sense you.

Flyer

  • They only move in straight lines, at the rate of one sector an hour.
  • They can see two sectors in every direction with no blind spots, excluding the cover of forest.
  • They can see a human in the forest if they are directly overhead.

Jordan

  • Jordan is a force to be reckoned with.
  • Nothing holds her back.

Salvador

  • Takes an hour to cross a mountain.
  • Takes two hours to cross a river.
  • He can use forest for cover.

Sentinel

  • Circles the perimeter of a large patch of corrupted land at the rate of one sector an hour.
  • Takes a total of twelve hours to return to its starting point.
  • They have four faces.
  • Now, they can see only one sector ahead, with the exception of diagonals.
  • In a forested area, they are completely blind and cannot see even the sector right next to them.
  • They pay no mind to terrain, meaning they can cross mountains.
