The first section is a table of words.

First reference table decoded

The second section is a smaller table of "relational codes" which refer to the same codes as the body message. The dotted number after refers to the index of the letter in the word specified.

Using the codes from the body message, we get this text:

WEATO?NNEO
TTALLTHESE

Second reference table decoded

The third section is a grid-reference to the words in the first section (the table of words). The first number refers to the horizontal index and the second to the vertical index.

Using the references we get this text:

UGU Underground World God Mines               Inventor AH Homeless People Machine
Mask Man Tunnel Guard Knowledge               Body Message Question Show Truth
Raven Research Institute Lead Organization    Green Death Blue Right Meaning
Water Trees Diving Suit Legend                City Tunnel Sewer Us Omitted

We can translate this a bit:

UGU (is) the underground world god (of the) mines.
Inventor (is) Andrew Herts, Homeless People (made) the machine.
Mask(ed) Man (in the) tunnel guard(s) knowledge
Body Message Question Show(s) truth
Water Trees Diving Suit Legend (???)
City, tunnel, sewer, us: omitted.

This code is heavily connected to the Body message through its use of the similar letter-number codes.
