Kelso's QND Walkthrough

Once inside the Matrix this is what you see:

Red files are the one we can actually read through. I have not taken the time to show all these, some I think are just "Fillers" some are Funny [efluent.qnc was one of my favorites:-)]

The most important document seems to be RAYGAT.QNC

Now looking back at the letter from Ray Gatin he gives us this:

"Remember the Key is Everything"

Many players also received a call from either Ray himself or from Angela Ross another agent. I received a message similar to those posted:

From Ray: "Kelso, if you are there pick up it's Ray. I need to tell you the key is .... " then it hangs up.

Other calls included information about the key being a number sequence of:"1 9 2 7 10 8 4 5 6 3"
later players figured this to be a Vigenere type of encryption puzzle. See below:

"EVERYTHING" ="1 9 2 7 10 8 4 5 6 3" ="BJCHKIEFGD"
then you use that to decode the RayGat file.see below:

need help being framed in lock down under restricted access
check back for matrix reload on may fifteenth when available
rama code should identify leak once identifi

Now we all waited until May 15, for the File Matrix Reload. Which BTW was the same day Matrix Reloaded opened in the US. ;-) Interesting choice of timing I would say.

Happenings in the File Matrix Reload! May 15 and the new files include: See Below

arcII.qnc
efluent.qnc
mara.qnc
raam.qnc
rama.qnc
raygat2.qnc
phenol.qnc
server.qnc
Ztime.qnc

Basically the important files here were Raygat2 and the rama.qnc. Many have speculated that phenol.qnc was important but to the best of my knowledge I have not seen any significance of it. Anyone else?

Here is the contents of Raygat2.qnc. WOW:

The first section was decoded using the same "KEY" as in Raygat.qnc and is below:

I am a prisoner of my own company.Family and friends believe me to be in deep cover assignment in Europe. I believe the message below to be rama based due to the circumstances associated with its interception. It could clear my name. If this is the case forward the decipherd message to the one individual I trust but cannot contact until my innocence can be proven. Before being moved to restriced lock down I placed this and the hopefully correct rama file in que for the next matrix upload. If the message below is not rama based or does not clear my name I will remain in lock down and will try to contact you through other means. Themis strim at qnd can be trusted.

Wow! Now we can get a real picture of what is going on. Basically Agent Ray Gatin is in trouble! What exactly is LOCKDOWN we do not know, but it cannot be good!
