Hello all, I'm sorry if this has already been posted, but I didn't see it anywhere on the forums after a cursory search.
Anyway, I thought I'd check out the alleged Fallout 4 teaser site: http://thesurvivor2299.com and was pleasantly surprised by a new message. This one was far more cleverly encoded, and it took me a while to figure out (I did a lot of guessing before I finally cracked it). The original message is:
AK: {REV _____ 5120} [CPS] PASS {LOC BB YEAR LET} - | H EY XHWHD OF GXSIHS EVE, ZFR G'K ATGEVY ROCL'JM QEOX. GTJX ZSFF QRETYHA HWEUHG WG VKKP HHWE. MCCCZNU SQ UUE VMXECEDCZ. MFE BNMC NEGE QLZCR TP MZ MR YUOG ACBSM. |
The first part is once again the instructions for decryption, though I'm unsure as to what "LOC BB" means, as I stumbled upon the passphrase through some guessing and luck. Anyway, with an alphabetic key of THQGNABCDEFIJKLMOPRSUVWXYZ, and an autokey passphrase prefixed with "oneninefourseven" (i.e. the passphrase is just the plain text with 'oneninefourseven' in front of it.) the message decodes to:
I AM SORRY TO INFORM YOU, BUT I'M AFRAID THEY'RE DEAD. YOUR LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM IS JUST FINE. WELCOME TO THE INSTITUTE. THE ONLY SAFE PLACE TO BE IN THIS WORLD.
I don't know what you think, but this seems like unequivocal evidence that The Institute is going to be heavily involved in this next game.
Also, I'd really like to know what "LOC BB" means in the decryption instructions. The only thing I can think of was that the transistor was invented in 1947, or "oneninefourseven" by John Bardeen and Walter Brattain, but that doesn't account for the "LOC".
