Skyscream looked over blearily at the screen and sipped what passed for coffee at the Base. Evil stuff but better than nothing. Numbers and letters were scrolling past on the screen at a rapid rate. She sighed and set her cup down before copying it into her personal folder and then routing the original to security with a note.
"Get the brainiacs to decrypt this. I'm sure it means something. The sooner the better. - Commander Skyscream"
She yawned and stretched before picking up her coffee cup again. She looked over the screens from her command chair in the center of the busy command deck of the base. Her chair was the only calm in the business of the human bees buzzing around her. She decided to return to her late night contemplations since everything seemed in order and put her feet up with a content smile playing across her lips.
"It's good to be the King ..."
"Mel Brooks" A mans voice suddenly chimed from her left. "History of the World part one."
"Give that man a day off." Skyscream chuckled.
"Yes commander." The young duty officer made notes and arranged schedules as he spoke. "You have tomorrow off Coaxil."
"Nice." The man nodded as he kept monitoring the radar.

((OOC) very strangely encrypted...URL encrypted....rotated 13 times...the Hex to ASCII. The underlines and () are actually part of the message...threw me off for a few minutes)

aaroun... how the hell do you decrypt?

((lots of trial and error....just reversing encryption algorithms I know and applying it to the message until I see a common string. In this case, the message looked like an Encoded URL, so I used a decode URL algorithm (commonly used for Internet Explorer embedded encryption) and the resulting output was in hexadecimal. Trying to decode the hex directly resulted in gibberish...another common encryption technique is bit-shifting (also known as rotating). So I just shifted the bits until I came up with something legable...sounds alot harder than it is, this one was rather easy.))

Hal's eyes snapped open a second before his body started to breath on its own again. The first breath had the distinctive digital sound that gave the impression that the digital soul had been returned to the body. The servos whirled and whizzed as his chair lowered.
Behind him, Erise forced his head forwards and yanked out the jack plug almost taking his head socket with it. Hal looked around at her and scowled. He needed a word with her about the attitude problem which was starting cause problems with some of the crew. But that was for another time. For now he take the ship back to base for resuppy and recharge.
Rubbing his eyes as they awoke from the long sleep, which his body had taken without him, they focused in on Aaroun sitting in the operator’s station. Hal got up and wandered over there, stretching on the way.
Hal looked at the screen and noticed that Aaroun had been sending mail.
“Who’s the lady?” He asked with a sly smile.
“Sky.” Aaroun replied wiping the smile off Hal’s face. “Someone’s been sending encoded transmission over the believer frequency. I decoded it and sent the original message back to base. Want to see it?”
Aaroun typed commands into the keyboard and a message popped up on the screen.
”Merv __ _)Sentinels_)_ _)Implanted with_ _ _()_nuclear _ _ from Kellner__)( _tinels are being_ _ _ reactiv_ _reprogrammed_ ())( _ _return_ )) _zero -one)_ __) _detonate)() ___)) war...EOF"
However you look at that it’s not good. Hal frowned as he thought
“Right. Well keep an eye out for any other transmissions while we head back. Got a while before we even clear the tunnels. Anything could happen.”
Aaroun nodded while Hal made his way into the cockpit and began the pre-flight routine.

## Incoming Message ## ##/ Source: Hovercraft Format C /## ## Destination: All Alliance Hovercraft ## ## Decrypting ##
Attention all members of The True Believers. (TTB)
This is Commander Skyscream of The True Believers. It has come to our attention that there may be a threat to Machine City. This threat may include detonating a nuclear device within either Machine city itself or the Farms. It is clear that this may be an attempt to restart the war by certain elements who are unhappy with thier current situation.
In a daring infiltration worthy of James Bond, a Cypherite named Kellner managed to steal an ancient nuclear device we had salvaged from ruins. We have no idea if it is even functional or not as we had no time to examine it properly before it disappeared. Several inhabitants of Believer Base are still spending some time in the Brig to think about how they failed humanity.
This all occured six months ago when the ship Trinity's Hope, an unarmed cargo vessel, was stolen along with the device and was last seen in the hands of Cypherites. Namely what was left of the Blue Order and some others once Kellner managed to get himself reinserted. It is my belief that the device is being inserted into a sentinal which will then be detonated remotely. This is unacceptable as it puts Zion as a whole at risk. The natural reaction of the Machine would be to assume we did it. We have been accused of things before so it would be a repeating pattern which the Machine seem incapable of breaking sometimes.
In addition to that .. this might be a sucker play. Make us look one way while they go another. Keep that in mind. Machine City might not be the target.
All TTB forces are to remain on high alert. This is not a drill.
Protect .. and I can't believe I'm saying this ... machine city. Intercept all hovercraft or sentinals that you can. The new Radiation scanners are to be running at all times and every vessel is to be scanned intensively. Any irratic behavior, like running, is to be discouraged until you are absolutely certain there are no signs of nuclear materials within the hovercraft, sentinal, or other form of transportation. With weapons if neccesary. Whatever the cost. Humanity is more important than us as individuals. While I realize that what I ask seems impossible I would also like to remind you that Morpheus accomplished the impossible. And we are his soldiers.
Stay Frosty.
Commander Skyscream
A copy of this missive will be forwarded to The Pride and Zion Command.
