Ranger Code

Physical Contents

Large Map Details

• These will be used on the terrain map.

Love Letter

• Poor Jeremy. Everyone's always like, "JEREMY! DO NOT OPEN, YOU NOSY LITTLE BASTARD!"

• I have never understood the ouroboros. How could it not feel the pain of it eating its own tail and stop? But that's just me thinking logically, and not philosophically.

PATRICIA's Circuit Board

• Overlay the biotech disc from Episode 3 on this device, lining up the symbols with the lights.
• Pull the tab out in order to allow power when the button on the side of the device is pressed.
• The correct pattern of symbols should be lit up in blue and green and should overlap the white light.

Report Update

• Once decoded, the ranger words are:

  • HUNTERS
  • KILLED
  • HUNTER
  • SAME SECTOR
  • SENTINELS
  • EYESIGHT
  • BLINDSPOTS
  • AVOID THE SECTOR THEY ARE IN
  • THE SECTOR DIRECTLY IN FRONT
  • BURROWERS
  • SECTOR THEY SURFACE IN
  • PREVIOUS PATHWAYS
  • FLYERS
  • ONE SECTOR
  • HUNTERS

• At the bottom, Jeremy tells us the frequency at which we can reach Jordan.

  • 035.768

Small Map Detail

• This will be used on the terrain map.

Theo's Journal

• This is stapled on both sides, so unfortunately we have to destroy the integrity a bit and remove the one staple.
• Using the times Theo gives us, we must find the next time in the sequence. This is found by realizing that the times are when the hands on the clock would overlap.

• The next time in the sequence is:

  • 4:22

• To decipher the codes, either shift each letter forward by 22 (minutes) or backward by 4 (hour).

• Once decoded, Theo's messages read:

  • "Just south a few days travel from NACS. I am close enough to maintain a connection with them."
  • "... seems to have taken possession of me. I have briefly connected my consciousness with PATRICIA in order to see further into the meaning of this data. It's clear now. It's oh so clear. It must not be something isolated in my mind - it must take place on my body as well! ... is me, I am ...!"

Movement Strategies

Burrower

• They only move forward in straight lines.
• They cannot see humans while it is underground.
• They move two sectors per hour before coming back to the surface. It then freezes in place.
• They don't see very well, but if you are right on top of it, they will see or sense you.

Flyer

• They only move in straight lines, at the rate of one sector an hour.
• They can see two sectors in every direction with no blind spots, excluding the cover of forest.
• They can see a human in the forest if they are directly overhead.

Jordan

• Jordan is a force to be reckoned with.

• Nothing holds her back.
