Flynn Digital Soldiers image decoding idea…

I coded the light red or pink as 0, medium red as 1, and dark red as 2. Going through in ternary from 000 to 222, with 000 as a space or null character and 001 as A through 222 as Z, I got the following from the graphic, reading left to right in triplets, then starting at left again on each new line, from top to bottom:

HPMCJNLJJDCKLJMTOLPMVPJDNCMJDNCNCMMUPDMS

Then, I used a substitution cipher because the Vignere didn't pop up any results that seemed coherent. I did use obvious keys to attempt to decode it, then some random keys and got nothing. So, with a substitution cipher I got this: 1=original, 2=substituted

(put it in a text editor with a fixed width font if you want it easier to compare, they do line up)

1=HPMCJNLJJDCKLJMTOLPMVPJDNCMJDNCNCMMUPDMS

2=WASINTENNOIDENSUREASMANOTISNOTITISSHAOSB

Spaced out: WAS IN TEN NO IDEN SURE AS MANOT IS NOT IT IS SHA OSB

It's almost coherent. I'm not sure what some of the abbreviations mean. If you add spaces in different places, you could get different words, though.

I've been up all night researching, so my eyes are crossing at this point. Take this for what it's worth. Maybe some other Anons can build on, work with it further.

Just following up since I'm not unconscious (yet).

Not sure if these connect, but MANOT (the only mention I could find that the search engines didn't correct into something else) is the name of a partial human skull found at a site in Israel. It's called Manot 1 and it's distinctive in the fact that it's considered a modern human skull (though they noted it seemed small in brain size, who knows what that could mean when taking into account possible genetic abnormalities, nutritional differences, strange cultural practices, etc.).

Then, there's Manot Cave in Western Galilee, Israel.

SHA OSB, when searched for together, end up being not "SHA" as in the encryption, but the names for airports. Shanghai = SHA, Osage Beach = OSB.

Osage Beach is in Missouri, USA.

I don't know if it's just a coincidence or not. A lot of three letter combinations stand for airports.

SHA on its own is a form of encryption. OSB also gets a lot of results on its own, but for oriented strand board, which I'm skeptical this would refer to.

If this is a substitution cipher, and my deciphering is correct, then the 16 dark squares is likely just a coincidence. They could just as easily have encoded it with 0=dark and 2=lightest.

OSB, so far can be potentially the name of an airport in Missouri. I'm pretty sure they weren't referencing oriented strand board (also OSB). If looking at airports, SHA is Shanghai.

SHA and OSB could both stand for airports, and now references to tarmac?

Hmm…

My bad. Q doesn't talk like that.

Too many hours without sleep.

Hope my decode is worthwhile.

Q posers can fuck off.

Bye y'all.
