  • Day 2



    1. Head over to Resistance Head Quarters.

    2. Press 4 to enter Administrative mode.

    3. Press 2 and you will get a slew of coded messages.


    4. You are now in an apparent inbox with several messages in an unknown code. Each code you press on, you are brought to a screen similar to above. Your job is to reach the target code. You can drag ONE of the codes into the box. Once you do that, click through the codes on the right.
    • One-Modifiers: Click and drag each of the 10 options on the right, one-by-one, to the box the left.

    • Two-Modifiers: For the two modifiers pay attention to the first symbols of the two modifiers. If the two modifiers together, give you a target and a result with the same first symbol then you have deciphered part of the code. NOW, you must change the second modifier with the other 18 options that have the same first symbol of the second modifier. Do this till you decipher the code.

    • Tip: Try to do the messages with the one box or two box modifiers first until we get some more information in. They are less complicated, and you only have to drag each code into the box, rather than two and various clicking of the right numbers.

    • Three-Modifiers: You can either try using this guide or try the method below:
    While browsing around the Neoboards, I found a method that /really/ does help. [ link to the board ]

    The first thing you've gotta do is assign labels to your symbols. For example, I made them according to what letter or number they resemble (v, x, c, T, 8).

    Once you've done that, assign values to the letters (+ the 8, which we'll pretend is a number anyway) as you would in a math equation.

    v = 1
    8 = 2
    x = 3
    c = 4
    T = 5


    Next thing you do is some substitution. Looking at my screen now, I've got:

    Key: xTvTTv
    Target: cTvccT

    After substitution, you have:

    Key: 351551
    Target: 451445


    Subtract these. Nevermind about the minus. You can reverse it if you'd like, so you're subtracting the target from the key instead.

    99894

    Now check this out. Any number above 5, literally, is NOT counted. Instead, it will cycle back around to 1, and you'll count up once more. Why? There are only 5 symbols.

    So, in accordance to this rule..
    99894 -> 11114


    Let's try and get symbols that match. They need to add up to the first digit, 4. As I'm doing a Mod 2 code, the first digits of both codes need to add to four.

    What can be added together:
    2+4 / 8 and c

    5+1 / t and v


    so, from there, you can do some trial and error. And that's it, generally (: Hope it works for you all.
    thank you nova :)


    You do notneed to complete all of the puzzles. In order to finish you must solve the puzzle by Commander Garoo - normally this is a third modifier puzzle because you need to do others in order to unlock them. When you get this message:

    My lord,
    We've begun moving the civilians to the transport shuttles as planned. The public decks are all secure although we've had some trouble finding our way around the maintenance levels; there could still be traitors hiding in that maze. Nonetheless, the shuttles should be ready to launch shortly, and then we won't have to worry about the civilians any more.
    - Commander Garoo









    If you get the message refresh if the page doesn't do so on its own. You will then get this message:
    Gorix

    We've got it! They're putting all the civilians onto transport shuttles.
    Cylara

    That must be where my family is! We've got to go rescue them!
    Resistance Leader

    The Cybunny scout is there, too. She's the priority. Now get going, before it's too late!


    Warning:Please do NOT use any type of calculators. TNT has explicitly said that doing so is cheating and you will get frozen. To see a non-cheating, full-proof (yet, slightly complicated) way to decode three-modifiers look at the messages above.
