[edit] Puzzle
[edit] Oster's Story
(Solved)
- Tuesday August 5 - After Oster was voted to receive the next injection, his results became available.
- In his dossier was placed the lab results of his planned injection.
- Oster is labeled as "P.A. SUBJECT #492132FB" with "PEL# bu75207b"
- Attempting to GET file 492132FB returns
- "Error: File does not exist"
- Attempting to GET file BU75207B returns a folder list of additional document numbers:
Name: Brown, Channing Service No. 492132fb PEL: bu75207b1 bu75207b2 bu75207b3 bu75207b4 bu75207b5
- Subsequently, GETing each of those files leads to a number of image documents
- The final document - the "Notice of confiscated materials" - contains an associated document name, documents that were found on Elden Stockmeyer's body - file XX334147SV. (This number could also be located in a simpler way by looking at the picture of Oster's possessions in his dossier.)
- XX34147SV is a large PDF of seven pages, containing an encrypted filename that must be deciphered in order to retrieve classified documents about Project LDP (Read XX334147SV here).
[edit] Solution - Part 1
- The instructions laid out on pages 1 through 3 are paraphrased as follows (to be applied to the map formed by pages 4 through 7):
- Locate the operative towers using the included list of coordinate triplets (X axis / Y axis / Quadrant 1-4). Label the locations with the associated letter.
- Double the distance from the HQ (the central marker) to each coordinate, and mark the resulting location (a 4x4 square however) with the same letter.
- Using the key in the lower right of the map, connected each letter pair.
- Mark each intersection of 2 or more lines where they overlap a numbered landmark. Once all intersections/landmarks are noted, connect them to form the perimeter of the proposed LDP.
- Make a note of each landmark's number forming the perimeter. Organize the number from smallest to largest, and separate them with a hyphen.
- The resulting string (with no spaces) is file which can be retrieved from the SRPA Terminal
- The series of landmark intersections is as follows:
4-11-12-13-18-21-24-26-27-29-32-33-34
- Taking this string as a file name, and GETing it reveals:
Result: Survey found. See LDP313619PM
- GETing LDP313619PM (and SAVEing it once loaded) downloads a very large PDF map outlining the proposed LDP perimeter:
[edit] Solution - Part 2, the trail
- In the bottom left of the map is a stamp with another associated document - SCNR458849. This document is a 2 colour explanation of Military Scenarios for Homeland Defense.
- Reading through the very detailed, informative document, at the very bottom is another associated document - DEP783528.
- DEP783528 is a top secret US Army Department of War memo, an Executive Summary of the Evacuation Plan. Again, reading through, at the end of the "Morale Issues" section, is another document reference - MPXX336684.
- MPXX336684 is the "Masada Proposal". Once again, reading through, near the bottom is another document reference - LDP227489WK.
- LDP227489WK is the classified Liberty Defense Tower High Level Summary. This is the location of the next Document Control Number. In the upper right is the stamp:
- At the bottom of the document, however, are references to another 7 documents detailing more classified information.
