Physical Items
Coded Message 1
Observation #1
This is found in Jeremy's messenger bag.
Observation #2
Note the phrase "exchange key information". This points to using the Diffie-Hellman key exchange method again to decipher.
Observation #3
3 and 36 are repeated, meaning they are a key to deciphering this note.
- Letters will shift forward 3 times.
Observation #4
Once decoded, the coded phrases read:
- "IT FEELS GOOD"
- "SEEN. IT FEELS GOOD"
- "SEE MY GOOD WORKS."
- "I WILL DO."
- "FUN"
- "SEE YOU SPEAKING WITH PATRICIA"
- "INTO ALOSHA'S DATA CACHE"
- "FUN WHILE"
- "LASTED"
- "YOUR TIME"
- "TICKING AWAY"
- "ISN'T PERSONAL"
- "YOU DO"
- "YOU CHOOSE"
- "FIRST"
- "DIE"
Observation #5
WTF! Someone is threatening us!
Coded Message 2
Observation #1
This is found in Jeremy's messenger bag.
Observation #2
This is a correspondence between Jeremy and Alosha.
- "Griefing"? lol
Observation #3
The code in this one is pretty easy. It's Pig Latin.
- Jeremy: I saw someone.
- Alosha: What did you see, Jeremy?
- Jeremy: A man came out of Laila's server room while I delivered morning mail. No one is up that early before the day lights come on.
Observation #4
On the back is a message from Alosha to Laila.
Observation #5
He mentions "two-square", which is the cipher we should use.
Observation #6
Once deciphered, the coded phrases read:
- "MY PASSWORD FOR ROOM 1105 SURVEILLANCE"
- "OVERRIDE MORE SECURITY PROTOCOLS. NEW PASSWORD NOW 1439. SOMETHING IS GOING ON. I WANT TO FIND WHAT HE IS HIDING."
Coded Message 3
Observation #1
This is found in Jeremy's messenger bag.
Observation #2
There is a mention of "backwards". This points to the Atbash cipher, where the alphabet is read backward instead of forward.
Observation #3
Once decoded, the phrases read:
- "INCITING A PANIC"/"VOTE"
- "OUT OF PROPER DECONTAMINATION MATERIALS. EXPEDITIONS CAN'T CONTINUE"
- "DR. WHELAN"/"BASE FULLY SELF-SUSTAINING"
- "SURFACE"/"DANGEROUS"/"REASONS"/"VIRUS"/"WEIGH"/"FACTS"/"I VOTE"/"TIEBREAKER"
Observation #4
It's hilarious how Ada refuses to encode her sentences after Cyril asks her to.
Contact Letter
Observation #1
Ooh, so we have everything we need now to know who our contact is.
- I wonder who?
Observation #2
The coded signature is simply a replacement cipher. By looking through the personnel names, we get a match of:
- Laila Woods
Observation #3
There is a riddle at the bottom of the page.
Observation #4
The answer is:
- Words
Doctor's Guide
Observation
This is a guide from Dr. Cyril Farrahmand on how to cope with the apocalypse.
Field Note Propaganda
Observation
Sections of Persephone's expedition notes have been inserted into this poster to inspire fear among the community.
- Of course, they are taken out of context.
Messenger Bag
Observation #1
This was supposedly "lost" by Jeremy.
Observation #2
It contains 4 coded messages inside.
Noodle Packet
Observation #1
This is found in Jeremy's messenger bag.
- Haha! Normally a product boasts about LESS sodium, not more!
Observation #2
Jeremy's notes reveal that Mathias and Oswald have been writing back and forth.
Password Card
Observation #1
This time, Rule 10 is referenced.
Observation #2
Using the same trick as in previous episodes, shift the letters back 10 times.
Observation #3
Once decoded, the password is:
- jonassalk
Patient Notes
Observation #1
These are Dr. Cyril Farrahmand's notes on some of his patients.
Observation #2
Note the patient on page 3.
- This is Alosha.
Rotating Puzzle
Observation #1
All the letters must be visible.
Observation #2
What is revealed is the password to Alosha's data cache:
- fortythieves

Websites
NACS Facility
Observation #1
Username:
- C117
Observation #2
Password:
- jonassalk
Observation #3 - Directory → Personnel Files → Council Profiles
Oleksander Pavlo is now grayed out on Alosha's profile.
- This is the new hidden link for this episode.
- The password is "fortythieves".
Observation #4 - Notes → Terminal
This is the redacted file (REDACTED.FILE.PDF) of the hacker that Oswald sent Alosha shortly before Day 0 of the apocalypse.
Observation #5 - Investigation → Case File → SURVEILLANCE.ENTRYWAY.MP4
We can view surveillance footage.
- Shepard Oswald was the one to assist Persephone in leaving the compound unauthorized.
- It appears there is audio too, although I was not able to hear anything despite having my volume up all the way.
Observation #6 - Internal Recon → Facility Map
All but one room is denied access.
- Room 105A belongs to Shepard Oswald.
Observation #7 - Internal Recon → Facility Map
The password can be found in other clues of this episode.
- The password is: 1439.
Observation #8 - Internal Recon → Facility Map
Accessing this room gives us a live footage feed (SURVEILLANCE.DORMITORY.105A.LIVE).
Observation #9 - Internal Recon → Facility Map
Scrolling all the way to the left and down, we can see a remote with a flashing red light and a string of letters and numbers.
- The letters and numbers are the same as on the emitter we received in Episode 1, which was retrieved from Persephone's body.
- Is this the same radio Persephone took outside with her? Why would Oswald keep it and not destroy it?
- He looked very suspicious in the surveillance footage with Persephone. Did he set her up? If so, why?
- He obviously knows more than he lets on. From Alosha's journal entries, I get the feeling he was a conspirator from the beginning, before Omega Protocol went into effect.
Observation #10 - Communication
We learn how the A Class was chosen.
Observation #11 - PATRICIA
When you feel you have found everything, type in "D4gob4h".
Observation #12 - PATRICIA
Enter the file names separated by commas:
- Redacted.File.pdf, Surveillance.Entryway.mp4, Surveillance.Dormitory105A.live
