I took a stab at the Octal embedded in C39. Counting out the bars, I got an octal:

16514215514115115404015

which in binary is:

001110101001100010001101101001100001001101001001101100000100000001101

and translated to ascii:

:˜¦I°@


is it supposed to be some kind of face or am I way off? XD

Using Genesis’ decoding of the bar code as a staring point, I tried a few things.

When converted into binary then to ASCII I came out with the same message as him. I then tried flipping the binary. That failed. Then I tried inverting the binary, replace 1’s with 0’s and 0’s with 1’s. That resulted in nothing as well.

I then looked at the ASCII tables to see what type of numbers I was looking for as a result. I noticed that most of them were three digit numbers. I broke the octal number that Genesis came up with into three digit groups: 165 142 155 141 151 040 15. When I looked those numbers up on the text table, adding a leading 0 to the last number I came up with: ubmail (return). I do not have the means or knowhow to double check Genesis’ work on the bar code or binary that was posted earlier, but my best guess is the word hidden was tubmail. This also fits with the badge in the first post with the bar code. Off to the side there in a partial screen shot of an tubmail inbox with many messages received in a very short time period. This is strange because why would a clan take the time to send a message during a raid that require precision timing, if the messages were sent during a raid.

The last part is just some wild guessing as to what is going on, but I have no idea how or why that would be. That is all that I have for now.

/edit this is my alt character, I might also be posting with my main character, balluga. Noted to avoid confusion.
