Wasteland notes

The coded notes are a series of notes found in a small underground shelter in Wasteland.

They are found taped all over a wall, arranged vaguely like a pair of wings. Below the table next to the wall is a white Mörkö mask model with a "dirty" skin.

• There is T.50=P which doesn't fit into the key table, but 0x50 is the ASCII code for P.

Hints

Zuntti said we have to use everything we know already for this.

Solution

Main transcription (PLEASE use a widescreen application so the text doesn't get shoved to other lines) using the following 🔑 encoding table (unreferenced characters are marked bold or replaced with underscores, depending on whether they're known or not):

               1         2         3         4
      1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
A is "OTHERSIDE"          |         |           (Answer)
R is "ALBERTHARTMAN"      |         |           (Right person)
Q is "WHATCONNECTSALLTHESE"         |           (Question)
T is "IFYOUKNOWITJUSTSAYITTHENYOUGETI_REDRAVEN" (Truth) 

• The "answer" probably either comes from the Wasteland radio morse or a texture used in the map infra_ee_binary (binary_001), another possibility is the Reactor lights code, of which one of the solutions is "otherworld".
• The "right person" probably comes from the Villa woodboxes.
• The "question" comes from the Bunker computer code.

Note the typo in the note in column 2, row 4, where T.36 resolves to "R", but should be T.38=V. Also, the note in column 3, row 3 contains the words "black word", which might be another typo of "black world". The note column 6, row 1 contains R.36, while it only properly resolves to T.36=R.

Additional Symbols

• 

  The map itself has several symbols on the terrain that it that can be seen on the wasteland notes and possibly Elo hideout symbols.

• 

  The 'mushroom world' in Open Sewer has a symbol on the ground that is similar to the markings on the notes and the map.

• 

  This is an image of the wasteland notes model. Note how they're arranged similar to the "Raven" logo.

• 

  The same model with only the decrypted texts.
