Which translates to:
  I will (F1(show?)) the truth (C4(code?)) to tell the right answer to the right person.
  I will [F1] the truth [C4] to tell the right answer to the right person.


It is currently unknown what the answer is, but a hint suggests it is three words.
It is currently unknown what the answer is, but a hint seen on the board with the birds on the hill in Hammer Valley suggests it is three words.


The entire body message revolves around a series of letter-number references, which correspond to words that have been found in INFRA maps and textures. The following is a table containing all of the current keys and their corresponding words. Bold ones are in use by codes.

The hint Zuntti gave us for this "code segment" is "BUN_BREAKER_CEN_CONTROL_VI_OFFICE_RE_SNW".<br />
The hint Zuntti gave us for this "code segment" is "BUN_BREAKER_CEN_CONTROL_VI_OFFICE_RE_SNW".<br />
There are four clues here, each representing a location or map in INFRA.

=== [[Bunker]] breaker ===
===[[Bunker]] breaker===
This clue refers to the breakers outside the [[Bunker]], in the [[Servicetunnel]] map. This has been confirmed by [[User:Zuntti|Zuntti]]'s screenshot.<br />
This clue refers to the breakers outside the [[Bunker]], in the [[Servicetunnel]] map. This has been confirmed by [[User:Zuntti|Zuntti]]'s screenshot.<br />
Possibilities here are the signs on the breakers themselves which have small text as follows:
Possibilities here are the signs on the breakers themselves which have small text as follows:


(Breaker 1) Main text: TGD-SBC-4, small text: BR4 TGDNUM PO7 TGD1<br />
(Breaker 1) Main text: <code>TGD-SBC-4</code>, small text: <code>BR4 TGDNUM PO7 TGD1</code><br />
(Breaker 2) Main text: HW-SBC-2, small text: BR4 HWNUM+1 O34 C87 EA2 N6
(Breaker 2) Main text: <code>HW-SBC-2</code>, small text: <code>BR4 HWNUM+1 O34 C87 EA2 N6</code>


TGD could mean Two Gorges Dam, and HW is probably Hammer Valley Water Dam. Both breaker small texts have a "NUM" on them, prefixed by their name, with 1 being added to HWNUM.<br />

Another possibility was the book with the bunker codes, however some codes are completely illegible and decoding with several bases does not result in anything of note.<br/>

Reading only the letters on breaker 2 reveals word "OCEAN". The breaker is assigned with number 2 so HWNUM+1 could be 3.
Reading only the letters on breaker 2 reveals word <code>OCEAN</code>. The breaker is assigned with number 2 so <code>HWNUM+1</code> could be 3.


Comparing numbers to first letters of bunker computer yields: POR TGDU ODE COR EAU NG , which can be re-arranged into: ATOP UNDERGROU_D CORE

=== [[Reactor]] SNW ===
===[[Reactor]] SNW===
This clue refers to the secret SNW area of the [[Reactor]] map. The [[Reactor lights code]] is present here but does not seem to be connected to the body message, so it should be ignored.
