Lydia Voss: squints at the calendar MSG here, hidden. Need 2 decode. U see it?
Ahh yes I do. It's seems to be some sort of code. Let me take a look at that. I get close to her looking at the calender
she moves aside to give you a better view of the calendar
Lydia Voss: Looks like some kind of substitution cipher. Each letter replaced by a symbol or number, but the key is not immediately obvious.
I think so...there's a pattern here. These symbols, they're not just random. They're...they're a map.
Lydia nods, her eyes scanning the page intently. Lydia Voss: Yes, I agree. These symbols are indeed a form of cryptic mapping. But what do they represent? We need to decipher their meaning before we can make any progress. Any ideas on how to start?
yeah I see it...we need to find out what it means though.
Right. Any ideas on what type of code this is? she looks up from the calendar, studying the surroundings.
I do. But let's take this to my place to decipher it further. This place gives me the creeps.
Lydia nods, her expression serious. "Good idea. Let's head back to your place."
With a swift and efficient pace, Lydia leads the way out of the abandoned school, her eyes scanning the surroundings for any potential threats or clues. Once outside, she turns to Vargas, her gaze unwavering.
Lydia Voss: "Lead the way. I'll follow."
yeah I see it. what does it say?
It says... "Find the room with the missing book, and the truth will be revealed." Well, well, looks like we have our first clue! What do you make of it, Vargas?
let me see. I look at the calendar and I start to decode the message. ok so this date is circled...November 10th...and this date here is circled too...May 5th.
Lydia nods in agreement, following your line of thought
Lydia Voss: Yes, those dates are indeed circled. But why are they circled? And what connection do they have to the mystery?
no I don't see anything what does it say
Lydia points to a specific date on the calendar. "Look here. It's written in invisible ink. You need to hold it up to a light source."
That's good. It's a simple substitution cipher. Look, these numbers here correspond to letters of the alphabet, and we just need to substitute them in the correct spots. It's a bit tedious, but it should give us our message.
I look over at you I see it. What does it say?
stares at the calendar intently, squinting her eyes It's a code. The letters are shifted by two positions to the right. I need to apply the Caesar Cipher decryption technique to decipher the message.
I see it I put on my glasses let's decipher this together
leans closer to examine the calendar Looks like a cipher. This symbol... Looks like it's used for substitution. Maybe a letter substitution cipher. Lydia taps her chin, deep in thought
