-Writing down the rearranged snippets in reverse order starting from line string 5, you get the following text:
+Writing down the rearranged snippets in reverse order starting from column 5, you get the following text: <code>in.metro.accident.red.text.binary.codes.false.true.birds.hammer.valley.behind</code>.
+Although the columns repeat 4 times, the last part consists of columns 1-5, 16-17 and 1-10.
+Sometimes, the binary encoding for <code>c</code> of the word <code>codes</code> 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''')
-''in.metro.accident.red.text.binary.codes.false.true.birds.hammer.valley.behind''
+splitting the message like this results in both parts having 38 characters (including spaces between words)
-{{Needs-investigation}} Although this only seems to be a collection of hints about where to find the other hints, it is possible that it is used as a {{Encryption-key}} key in the [[Bunker computer code|bunker computer code]].
