Oh God, I guess I’m back in the ring. I’ve been trying to leave this case alone in favor of a few of my own, but something about this struck me as odd and I hope someone else could pick up on where I’ll leave this off.

Right before this post, there is a picture of a fruit (specifically a pomegranate) labeled “ticket.”

Obviously, tickets are a mode of admission to something. Gatherings, parties, concerts, feasts, whatever. But why a pomegranate…?

I can’t help but wonder why this is so important so as to need its own post and image instead of like.. an image in a preexisting drive.

Pomegranates were famously eaten by Persephone when she visited the Underworld, which consequently trapped her there forever for a portion of the year. I don’t know exactly how that fits into all of this, but uh, I guess be careful with whatever you put in your mouth?

Ah, whatever… I’m not too sure, but I can only assume pomegranates are the key to something… Since a uh, basic Caesar cipher didn’t work here (I tried every possible option from 1-25, to no avail) but since it remains in alphabetical letters rather than numerical, my guess is that this is a one-layer code meant to spell out a sentence again. (As long as we trust the trend that no numerical final products have been released… yet.)

For brevity’s sake, I’ll refer to all encryptions that go from alphabet -> alphabet as one-layer and alphabet -> number as two layer.

If it’s a one-layer encryption, we only need to find one type of code. But if Caesar ciphers aren’t it and something is clearly being outlined as a “ticket” of somekind, maybe we need to find a one-layer encryption method that uses a decoding key.

I found a dismembered finger in my coffee today.

…Suffice to say, I uh, didn’t drink the rest.

Turned it into the evidence department… Someone was sent over to the coffee shop to investigate, but none of the staff on call were missing any body-parts. Since when did anomalous flesh just spawn into hot coffee?

I’ll be stopping by forensics later to see if they’ve found anything identifiable… At least the coffee was so strong I didn’t taste anything odd.

So I’ve been looking into this… and it’s—pardon my French—a fuckin’ nightmare. This appears to be an image of UVB-76, a retired Soviet doomsday radio station, even if it’s, uh.. somewhat altered.

UVB-76 in particular was a number station, one of many types of shortwave radio networks used for transmitting encoded number sequences to spies abroad during the Cold War.

Obviously, the.. technology’s pretty outdated now, so nobody really uses it anymore. I doubt this exact transmission was recorded from UVB-76, but if I had’ta guess, it’s a mockery or a parody of ‘s activities trying to accomplish the same thing: a more… esoteric means of communication for only “the people in the know.”

This is where stuff gets complicated. We ain’t findin’ a station; the recording’s been given to us on a platter. But the recording of the transmission… isn’t the image. I transcribed the numbers in the audio n’ compared it to the picture, and they’re entirely separate strings of numbers.

Transmission:

15 9 7 8 22

22 4 13 14 3

23 17 5 18 11

19 5 0 0 0

Image:

7 4 15 3 2

13 1 12 2 16

8 3 10 5 6

5 11 9 16 3

Back when number stations were around, spies would use these thingies called “one time pads” to decode their transmissions. Since we have the transmission, my guess is that the image is the key that we need: the one time pad. Now we just have to figure out how to use the damn thing. (It sure ain’t a classic Caesar shift anymore; I tried it.) But that’s all I’ve got to say.

I don’t mean to overstep into an investigation that isn’t mine, but… isn’t that Mr. Graham’s house?

It is. I noticed it the first time, I simply didn’t bring it up. I wouldn’t be too surprised if this person was breaking and entering as well. Just as the rest were.

Oh my god… Are you sure you don’t need someone to head over there? I know the agency doesn’t want to get their hands dirty on this, but as I said; I’ll operate below board. It’s getting a little scary that you’re on your own in all this…

I’m more..annoyed. Everyone is trying to keep me on my toes, to make me feel as though I have to look over my shoulder. If push comes to shove some good friends have offered their help and even their homes to me. I’ll most likely take their advice and stay with them if it gets worse.

I don’t know how you keep it together, Mr. Graham… but it’s good that you have options! If I were you, I’d take that chance before it gets any worse… I don’t think any of these stalkers have your best interest in mind. Oh, god… what if one of them tries to stop you from leaving?

Ah, Mr. Graham?

My name is Clarice Starling, FBI. I heard of the tips being sent to you, and I wanted to help you absolve yourself of them. Er, or I suppose solve them. Figure out the end. I’m relatively experienced in cryptography and I thought you could use a hand.

This is below board, of course, so Mr. Crawford isn’t involved; you don’t have to worry about him. I couldn’t figure out another way to reach you, so I hope this suffices..

Clarice Starling. I’ve heard of your name in passing, I’m familiar with your work as well. I wouldn’t want to burden you with my case, especially when I’m being targeted for a reason. But I’ll be sure to keep you in mind when I need an extra hand or someone by my side Thay I can trust.
