On September 1, Stein Lightman announced his discovery of 2 new glyphs: call and response, which together make up signal.
We find there are 3 codes to be decoded in the images provided.
All passcodes will be in the format:
[2-9][a-z][a-z][a-z][2-9]keyword[a-z][2-9][a-z][2-9][a-z]
Signal (Difficulty: 2/5)
The code is displayed in braille and the transcription is:
wj2w5dtnirresie9zeh2y
There are 21 characters in the code, 21 can be broken up into 7 rows of 3 charcters or 3 rows of 7 characters:
wj2 w5d tni rre sie 9ze h2ywj2w5dt nirresi e9zeh2y
The 7 rows of 3 characters can be read right-to-left top-to-bottom to give us:
2jwd5winterreisez9y2h
Winterreise is in the keyword position of the passcode but needing a keyword substitution. A quick search tells us that Franz Schubert composed Winterreise. Schubert is a known keyword.
2jwd5schubertz9y2h
Call (Difficulty: 2/5)

Trying a..j = 0..9 and converting pairs from decimal to ASCII:
58 73 69 72 51 86 75 83 64 78 89 74 69 70 85 52 85 59 65:IEH3VKS@NYJEFU4U;A
That doesn’t look quite right, examining the pairs of characters closely:
57675 878678767 85856 83921 653489490 52595
The numbers in the first line correspond to the correct range for the numbers 2-9 but some values (58 and 59) are too high to be numbers. However, reversing the second line would line up the pairs to match the decimal range for numbers 2-9
57675 878678767 85856 59525 094984356 12938
Converting the pairs from decimal to ASCII:
55 79 65 72 55 80 79 84 69 78 84 73 65 76 81 52 89 53 687OAH7POTENTIALQ4Y5D
Response (Difficulty: 1/5)

Trying this code as a passcode will give us Invalid Passcode. There should be a keyword substitution for verum: inveniri.
