This code was discovered by taking a closer look at the animated binary code that is seen on a monitor at the NCG office in [[office]]. The code can also be found in the Hacker's Den in [[sewer]]. | |||

Writing down the rearranged snippets in reverse order starting from | 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''') | |||
splitting the message like this results in both parts having 38 characters (including spaces between words) | |||
