A long day of staying on the police radio, waiting for an alert of robbery. After all, you had cracked a cipher not long ago that stated there would be a robbery soon. Doing the natural thing, you sent reinforcements to both Roberts Bank and Harvest & Trustee.
Time: 1000, status: all clear.
Time: 1600, status: all clear
…Time: 2100, status: all clear
What’s going on? Why had nothing happened?
All of a sudden, an alarm rings out across the station, someone has reported a robbery, and it’s at a previously unmentioned bank! Capitol Savings! Down in South Side? They won’t get away this time!
After arriving and finding the building in lockdown, but no trace of a robbery or even a robber to speak of, you begin to question the people. As it turns out, they’re all civilians, what on earth is going on?
As you return back to the main base, you get another callout to a different bank again, Paragon Finance, out in East Albia. Yet again, more of the same.
When it happens again, at Albion State Bank, in East Albia. The last 2 have merely been pranks, albeit a little strange, and need to be put on further investigation. This one would be no different, and sure enough, it is.
Time: 2300, status: mostly clear
Only now do you get double alarms, at almost the same times… from Roberts Bank, and Harvest & Trustee! It’s happening! But it wasn’t from a patrol you sent, or anything of that sort, rather a civilian phone in!
When you arrive, a similar scene as before is met, the building is in lockdown. But this time, when you manage to enter, you spot a bomb inside, and with it, a keypad.
Using your sharp knowledge, you find a note not far from the first building, and in the bottom corner reads:
‘DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFUSE. THIS IS A LOGIC BOMB, AND HENCE, YOU MUST SOLVE THE RIDDLE. ANY ATTEMPTS AT BRUTE FORCE WILL LEAD TO CERTAIN DEATH.’
Just as you get to getting a closer look at the bomb, you receive a phone call, with a similar situation occurring at Harvest & Trustee.
After collecting and compiling evidence, you are left with 2 different notes, and 2 different keypads.
The Robert’s Bank note reads as follows.
The Harvest & Trustee note reads:
There are 2 interactive panels provided. The one at Roberts Bank has 4 underlines at it, and the one at Harvest & Trustee has 6. Both have a standard QWERTY keyboard with the numbers 0-9 attached.
Objective:
Solve the 2 notes in order to free the hostages.
Bonus Objective:
Connect the second note to the relevant members.
