Office monitor code

The "matrix effect" on the monitor. The in-game version is animated.

This code was discovered by taking a closer look at the animated binary code that is seen on a monitor at the NCG office in office. The code can also be found in the Hacker's Den in sewer.

Writing down the rearranged snippets in reverse order starting from column 5, you get the following text: in.metro.accident.red.text.binary.codes.false.true.birds.hammer.valley.behind.

Although the columns repeat 4 times, the last part consists of columns 1-5, 16-17 and 1-10.

Sometimes, the binary encoding for c of the word codes has its last 2 bits separated from the other bits.

the message's words can be re-arranged to make a bit more sense:

birds red text in behind hammer valley - on a informational sign about birds behind hammer valley dam there is red text saying 'F4 3 words'

metro accident binary codes true false - in the control room overlooking the metro accident there are two binary code puzzles (binary being data encoded based on bits being true or false)

splitting the message like this results in both parts having 38 characters (including spaces between words)
