== Clues ==
[[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.
"[[Bunker]] breaker, central control (room) (the control room in [[Central]]), [[Villa]] office, [[Reactor]] SNW (area)?"
=== [[Bunker]] breaker ===
This clue refers to the breakers outside the [[Bunker]], in the [[Servicetunnel]] map. This has been confirmed by [[User:Zuntti|Zuntti]]'s screenshot.<br />
Possibilities here are the signs on the breakers themselves which have small text as follows:
(Breaker 1) Main text: TGD-SBC-4, small text: BR4 TGDNUM PO7 TGD1<br />
(Breaker 2) Main text: HW-SBC-2, small text: BR4 HWNUM+1 O34 B87 EA2 N6
TGD could mean Three Gorges Dam, and HW is probably Hammer Valley Water Dam. Both breaker small texts have a "NUM" on them, prefixed by their name, with 1 being added to HWNUM.<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.
=== [[Central]] control ===
This clue refers to the control room in [[Central]], where there are a few code possibilities.
==== Morse ====
The first one is the [[Central projector morse]], which does not produce a code but a message/clue about "the right person".<br />
==== Pegboard ====
The second one is the pegboard, which has two possibilities of its own: the pegs, the markers behind, and the unrelated notes stuck to the pegboard.<br />

===== Pegs =====
These are the pegboard pegs, transcribed.<br />
E means empty, P means peg and M means peg with marker.

=== [[Villa]] office ===
This clue refers to the office in the [[Villa]] map. While there is nothing in the office of note, the paintings around the rest of the villa may hold clues.
=== [[Reactor]] SNW ===
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.
