Hints

Aaron de Vaille Letter

  • In this letter, Aaron reveals that he has made an important choice. He does not view himself as part of the "Herd". Take note of his idealistic, insurgent language.

Block Message

  • Creating a 5x5 grid overtop Aaron's stamp allows you to map the alphabet onto the 25 squares, excluding the letter Z. The top row of squares is A, B, C, D, and E; the second row is F, G, H, I, and J, and so on.

Constellation Print

      CAN YOU GO FIND THE
      SCRAPS I LEFT OVER"


Constellation Print
