The coded notes are a series of notes found in a small underground shelter in [[Wasteland]].
The coded notes are a series of notes found in a small underground shelter in [[Wasteland]].


They are found taped all over a wall, and on a table next to the wall is a White Mask model with a "dirty" skin.
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.


Things to think about:
*There is T.50=P which doesn't fit into the key table, but <code>0x50</code> is the [[wikipedia:ASCII|ASCII code]] for <code>P</code>.


*The notes are a 6x6 grid of "post-its" with red text.
==Hints==
*Each line of post-its except the first has a symbol on it.
{{Zuntti-hint}} Zuntti said we have to use everything we know already for this.
*These appear to use the same letter-number code as the [[Body_message|Body message]].
**Only the letters A, R, Q, and T are used.
**Upon closer inspection the numbers are much higher than any code that has been found so far.
**T.24 on (0, 3) has a weird green outline. May be a red herring.
*Zuntti said we have to use everything we know already for this.
*There is T.50 which doesn't fit into the key table. it may be a red herring as it is the only letter P in the notes or it might be a clue for some undiscovered code.


==The hint==
==Solution==
The hint Zuntti gave us for this segment is "4. What are you looking for? The right Question? The right Answer? The Right person?".


==Clues==
Main transcription (PLEASE use a widescreen application so the text doesn't get shoved to other lines) using the following {{Encryption-key}} encoding table (unreferenced characters are marked bold or replaced with underscores, depending on whether they're known or not):
                1        2        3        4
      1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
A is "OTHERSIDE"          |        |          (Answer)
R is "ALBERTHARTMAN"      |        |          (Right person)
Q is "WHATCONNECTSALLTH'''E'''SE"        |          (Question)
T is "IFYOUKNOWITJUSTSAYITTHENYOUGETI_REDRAVEN" (Truth)


Main transcription (PLEASE use a widescreen application so the text doesn't get shoved to other lines)
*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 "right person" probably comes from the [[Villa woodboxes]].
*The "question" comes from the [[Bunker computer code]].

On Note 6(6,1) this strange anomaly can be found: T.50 = P
<br />It might be a clue for a puzzle that's has not been found yet.

{{Needs-investigation}} Note the typo in the note in column 2, row 4, where T.36 resolves to "R", but should be T.38=V. Also, the note in column 3, row 3 contains the words "black word", which might be another typo of "black world". The note column 6, row 1 contains R.36, while it only properly resolves to T.36=R.
