[[File:Truth.png|link=https://stalburg.net/File:Truth.png|alt=|none|thumb|300x300px|Image of the [[Wasteland_notes|coded notes]] found in the [[Wasteland]] map, with heavy red colour correction applied.]]

In both images, the green text "COR_ORD_1_BOD_MES_2_COM_QUE_3_CON_ANS_4_WAS_?_5_PAT_?" can be seen.
*The [[Body message]] gives the right person [[Albert Hartman]].
*The [[Bunker computer code]] gives the question "WHATCONNECTSALLTHESE".
*The [[Reactor lights code]] gives the answer "OTHERSIDE", despite the lights code saying "other world". {{Needs-investigation}} Why is it different?
*The wasteland notes give the truth.
On the first image, the text "1. BUN_BREAKER_CEN_CONTROL_VI_OFFICE_RE_SNW" can be seen, and on the second image, the text "4. What are you looking for? The right Question? The right Answer? The Right person?" can be seen.
*The bunker breakers are not solved yet, see [[Body message#Bunker breaker|Body message]].
*The metro central control contains a few codes, see [[Body message#Note 1|Body message]].
*The [[Villa woodboxes]] contain "Albert".
*The reactor SNW control code contains the answer (see above).

*The "answer" probably either comes from the [[Wasteland radio morse]] or a texture used in the map <code>infra_ee_binary</code> ([[:File:Binary raw.jpg|binary_001]]), another possibility is the [[Reactor lights code]], of which one of the solutions is "otherworld".

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.
