Puzzles, decryption, and hacks
Over the last few days, the community has been sluething their way through encrypted puzzles and messages intercepted by the resistance group, MIDA. We'd like to recognize the collaborative hacking efforts of you all here today 🫡
Curious what's been happening behind closed signals? Here's the quick recap of what transpired across multiple days, social platforms, and websites.
Decoding the signals from MIDAS: Cryptic messages, mangled audio transmissions, and code languages spread across the internet. Decoding a series of puzzles led to the Traxus OffWorld Industries chat logs, which contained the key to hacking into the CyAC Terminal.
Unlocking a secure gathering place: Hacking into the CyAC terminal uncovered a decryptor tool needed to solve hexadecimal language clues. These clues unlocked a complex audio soundscape puzzle, and the first person who solved it discovered the location of a safe place for MIDA to gather—also known as the Discord URL!
The first look at Tau Ceti today: MIDA intel points back towards the Satellite Map, where a mysterious signal can now be detected. Solving puzzles to unlock exact coordinates, THOUSANDS of players worked together to hone in on the source signal. Their efforts combined uncovered the first transmission from Tau Ceti IV—the CCTV feed seen in the Save the Date trailer (congrats, master hackers).
Join the resistance
It's not too late—the Discord server is still a secure gathering place for the resistance, and MIDA is welcoming new members. Join the Discord to receive your unique Digital Access Card (DAC) from MIDA, a unique identifier just for you. You can use your DAC to access faction missions in Discord, allowing you to earn points and climb the leaderboards with each successful mission.
