Whew, thank you for saying so. I was about to dive in!

Now I feel really slow.

I have no idea how you guys got the solution to that gene thing, but more of them appear on the patient profiles along the sides of the papers. Any ideas?

More severed fingers, in sets of five? If it is the same code, I could create an image of the substitution alphabet. Was my transcription spoiler above not detailed enough in how we deciphered it?

Keep feeding us screenshots, and I'm sure someone will pitch in with hints.

Yes, unless you are supposed to put it in with no spaces between words, it doesn't like that phrase as the answer, even though that is the correct translation.

The solution as is was not the answer to the question. Not sure if its a riddle or not. The solution was not the password for the monitor or the social interaction report either. I tried fingers, but that did help with the password content.

Yes they are supposed to be severed fingers, no idea why just yet given the what we know about this guy so far. He is an organ replacement technician. It's a horror survival game.

Bless you catherwood! I was hoping one of the experts would stop by.


I was hung up on looking at it as some base-4 encoding (4 states for each 'character') or looking repeated 5-character blocks and trying to guess corresponding letters based on position/frequency. At least I got the 'I' right. Actually, my method wasn't far off from this, just never got anything useful out of WinDecrypto.

Now I just have to wait a few hours until I'm eligible to put in the answer.

Thank you for posting the image. I wasn't motivated to slog thru the website, but when you plop a cipher in front of me like that, how can i resist?
Transcription:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Treat each "gene" thing* like it has a binary state, pointing either up or down, and assign them a value like this: 01000 00111 01101 01010 00011 10110 01101 10011 10000 00111 00000 01100 00011 01000 01100 01011 01000 01100 00100 00011

Method:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Then you can treat it like a Bacon cipher, or just numerically assign A=00000, B=00001, sequentially, combining I/J=01000 and U/V=10011

Solution:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I HOLD YOUR HAND IN MINED

I cannot account for typos or meaning.

*p.s.
on www.argn.com they said, "The first puzzle, a severed finger code, is still unsolved, so it's not too late to join in!" -- is that what those things are?

I've been trying to figure out the code as well, but no luck so far.
