[LORE CONTEST] A MESSAGE FROM H.M. KERES THE VIIth: Secret documents «12345» Go

H.M. Keres VII

----------------------------------
A MESSAGE FROM H.M. KERES THE VIIth
----------------------------------

This is Keres VII of the Iron Star Company, ally to the Rebellion.

In our previous attack on VEGA's research facilities, my operatives successfully obtained a cache of secret documents. We were hoping the documents would contain information on VEGA's future plans.

At the time, the cache was sealed and its contents inaccessible, but thanks to the tireless work of our espionage specialists, we have been able to retrieve one of the documents without damaging it.

I have attached the document to this message. As you will see, much of the document is redacted. An uncensored version of the document is available, but protected by a keyword. It is my belief that the keyword is located within the document itself.

If you find the keyword, I'm willing to provide a reward of 1000 credits and a ship from the royal Iron Star fleet for the uncensored document. This offer is valid for the first person to provide a picture of the uncensored document, the keyword and how you decoded it.

We will attempt to retrieve the second document as soon as possible.

Keres R. I.

I'm going to give it to both of you. Civil Bore posted the password first but LittleZipp was the first to read the instructions fully. I saw your sneaky edit Civil

I'm being lenient because this is the first one. I'm going to be a lot more strict on rules next time. I'll contact both the winners when I get in the office tomorrow. Take the time to decide what ISC ship you want.

CivilBore

Thanks, would have edited faster, but the forum is really slow to load.

Sorry, I'm stretching the rules giving it to 2 people as it is. 

I can't believe you guys got it so fast. We're going to have to go harder next time. While you're waiting, you should read that doc, there's some interesting story in there...

Ah well, some people take the time to actually read what is required and post accordingly, some don't and save some time by that. That's life.

First year of #Uni, had to learn to code using ASCII. Horrible experience, but seems to have finally paid off

What ship do they get? Is it one that others can obtain, or something like the blood raven that only one (or in this case, 2) people have

In "Dune" physical translation of information is usual. It's more secure than radio-based

may I suggest to change this kind of contest into something else? there is no way at all for ppl in some timezone to participate and, as you can see you almost have to be logged in the moment you decide to post, maybe instead of decrypting finding the key by guessing and being creative about the content so you can also pick as many as you want?

norlam

well, that was over fast.
but it's great that there's some kind of lore being implemented this way.

still, there should be at least 1 day announcement before such things happen.
