Mission #9 (NIF)

Initial Voicemail | E-mail | Solution

Initial Voicemail:

Clone: I've arrived at my destination and am ready to assassinate our target. However, I expect that he'll be surrounded with lots of guards. My idea is to pass for him and cause a lot of trouble, and then get out of here. Then he'll be tried in their justice system and tossed into jail. The rest I'll take care of. I have acquired the combination to detention block DS52, cell 76. I'll make sure he's brought there. Worst comes to worst, if they catch me, I can tell you the code and we can bust outta there. Anyways…I need you to come here with backup. Stay in orbit, I'll signal you when I need you. Over and out.
*Transmission ends*

This is a transcript of the voicemail located at http://www.ehnet.org/~hawkeye/27553C/mission9.mp3. The clone is played by CPT Falcon.

E-mail:

CPT Needa,

We are in dire straits! You may well have recently received a voicemail which was intercepted by our intelligence agents from the target clone to our spy-clone in the Emperor's Hammer. We have now discovered from other agents operating within the Emperor's Hammer that our spy-clone has been discovered by EH Intel's IntOrg and detained. This is disastrous for our plan!

You must find and locate the cell-block where our spy-clone is being held, and also determine the combination code for the door locks on the cell in which he is being detained. Once you have done this, you must send a Hawkeye Transmission to the target clone at target@nif.net. The target clone will then mount a daring rescue operation to liberate his comrade. Do not delay - the longer we wait the more risk we take that IntOrg will prise out the secrets of our mission from the clone.

Solution:

When the player searched for "IntOrg" or "cell block" on their Hawkeye Datapad Search Engine, they ended up at a page that looked like this:

After having listened to the voicemail, the player knew that the cell block they were looking for was DS52/76. All that remained was to solve the simple algebraic equation that provided access to the cell (the one for that cell happened to be the only solvable one anyway). The answer was 20.
