Hi Clara,

I'm Alan, aged 40, in Chicago IL, from Glasgow in Scotland originally. I'm a computer/network security researcher, and helped with some of the cryptanalysis of Zipp's coded messages.

Good luck with your thesis!

From this I get that we may have been confusing Facility J, which has definitely been identified as a "State-of-the-art Govt Facility" with "The Project" which Jay seems to be implying is a privately funded research project under the auspices of OPA and utilizing laboratory resources at Facility J ...

This is quite a different history for Facility J than the one from TJ19's videos, which gave the impression of a lab with strong connections into the whole military / industrial / biochem / research / federal government.

In particular, I always invisioned OPA Research as running an Institutional ...

I'm going to do some reading and watching then. i think I might get involved in this. Sounds interesting!
Welcome to Facility J. Please report to security to be issued your badge.

Oh, and here's a perl script I wrote which automates the codon/shift decryption. Command line only I'm afraid -- it takes the DNA sequence as the first argument, and the shifts as the second.
#! /usr/bin/perl

$codons = shift();
$shifts = shift();

print "codons: $codons\n";
print "shifts: $shifts ...

Boy that was fast, I blinked and I missed it...

Haha yeah, for a change I went to sleep early last night, so I missed the first part. Hey you'd probably enjoy the aha! moment with the frequency crack. Here, I'll show you the way:

OK, that's quite a neat tool. Pity it's limited to key size 20 ...

Boy that was fast, I blinked and I missed it...

I did all 48 and as long as I didn't make any mistakes, you get:

Thanks Aja! I did it all just in case and got the same. Now what?
A-G == musical notation? Or would that be Maddison ...

Thanks for pointing this out. I did the magic revert dance.

The dipeptide for the first sequence before being encrypted (atcga.c) is [I-D]. ID, as in identification? However, the dipeptide after encrypting is [Stop-F]. I don't know how to take that further. The alternate dipeptide didn't get me anywhere either.

As phipunk said, not knowing what we're ...

Yay! Must remember that Jay19 uses the codon abbreviations, I don't remember that being part of Walter's toolbox.

ETA: Sandi Star? Very superheroine secret identity.
I don't understand. I got STAR from the full aminoacid names, not abreviations. Or are you referring to something else?

Right ...

Excellent drop video! Ooh, and a new character and everything...

Romy, care to do the honors and create a "[Drop contents] I Get Around" thread?
