The body message is a long-running key element of the INFRA [[ARG]], the first ever element of it that was discovered.
It has strong ties to the [[Bunker computer code]] and [[Wasteland notes]].
[[File:Body_message.jpg|alt=|right|frameless|500px]]
It's located in [[reserve3]] and is a code written on the sheet which covers a corpse in a side building.  


{{Needs-investigation}} The body itself is possibly [[Albert Hartman]].
{{Needs-investigation}} The body itself is likely [[Albert Hartman]].


[[User:Finale|Finale]] has done a lot of work on cracking this part of the ARG, for further reference please see his [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=612370431| Steam guide] created for this.<br />
The code within it corresponds to keys for solving the [[Bunker computer code]] and [[Wasteland notes]].
It's located in [[reserve2]] and is a code written on the sheet which covers a corpse in a side building.


==Cracking the code==
==The Message==


The code sequence for the body message is:
 
The code sequence written on the body is:
  B1 C3 F1 B2 F2 C4 E4 G3 B2 G1 F4 B4 B2 G1 G2
  B1 C3 F1 B2 F2 C4 E4 G3 B2 G1 F4 B4 B2 G1 G2


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


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.
It is currently unknown what the "answer" is, but a hint 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 entire body message revolves around a series of alphanumeric 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.

<br />*F4 is a unique instance in which there's conflicting information on what the word should be. In reserve2, near the bird lookout spot, there is writing on the info-board about Hammer Valley birds which claims "F4 3 words".
==Clues==
==Hint from Zuntti==
 
[[File:Body_message.jpg|512px]]
 
==The hint==
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.

TGD could mean Two Gorges Dam, and HW is probably Hammer Valley Water Dam. Both breaker small texts have a <code>NUM</code> on them, prefixed by their name, with 1 being added to <code>HWNUM</code>.<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 <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: <code>POR TGDU ODE COR EAU NG</code> , which can be re-arranged into: <code>ATOP UNDERGROU_D CORE</code>

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.

*Finale has done a lot of work on uncovering this information on the ARG, see his [http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=612370431| Steam guide] for the initial information. <br />
