## **Project Freebird.pdf**

This PDF contains the following information on the rebels, the company, and Capitol city:

**About**

Project Freebird is the secret plan of the underground organization that call themselves “Rebels” For safety reason the real name of this group is not mentioned to help people escape from capitol city. We are convinced that the residents of capitol city are prisoners of the state and “The Company“ (real name Socience Inc. ). Capitol city is a surveillance society built inside 3 rings of walls to protect its inhabitants from creatures (created by the wordlwide virus pandemic that started in 2020) roa But since we can say it’s save to live in the zone (if you know how to avoid these creatures) and it’s freedom to live in the zone, we want to help people to be free.

This document contains secret maps, plans and blueprints for us to help people escape capitol city without being noticed by the police, the scouts and their drones.

**Milestones**

Until this day (2084-12-13 ), we managed to help 617 freebirds escaping this prison called “Capitol City”. Their living in our shelters that are built from the ruins of old public buildings like schools, libraries or city halls. Here we can teach them how to survive in the zone without being killed by radiation or the “Creatures” or getting infected by the virus these are bearing. Anyone who is getting his hands or eyes on these documents has to make shure that none of the companies or governments staff will get this information. We have 5 of these institutions in the zone which position has to be kept secret.

**SUBJECT NAME UNKNOWN**

The freebirds we rescued may keep their capitol city slave names if they want or they can choose new names for a free live in the zone. People who can’t remember their names shall be called “Subject Name Unknown” (Not to confuse with patient zero) e.g. Jane SNU (Subject Name Unknown)

## **Freebird\_617.pdf**

* This PDF contains the following information on Freebird617, our protagonist John Snu.
* On the last page a QR code is found leading to an image of a crosshair.

**Freebird 617**

Freebird 617 was found near a riverside below the South Wall (not far from Fortress City) in The Zone. He was badly injured (the type of wound leads us to guess he was shot) and nearly drowning. We brought him to the rebels shelter “Fire A-67157” where he is recovering. He was wearing a scouts uniform so we don’t know whether we can trust him. He said he doesn’t remember anything that happened before the incident. Was stammering weird sentences, it seems after he crawled out of the river he was attacked by creatures and saved by a woman, but we didn’t find that girl. There were many traces of creatures nevertheless so maybe this is true. He doesn’t remember his name but on his uniform was a name tag “John”, so we called him John Snu (Subject Name Unknown)

## **\_sat\_.jpg**

* The image shows a low-res satellite photo of an area presumably close to Capitol city.
* When the crosshair image found via the QR code in the Freebird\_617.pdf file is overlayed on top of the satellite image, a location next to a river is marked. This is presumed to be the location where the Rebels found John.
* The top left corner shows a faded QR code. Thanks to efforts by @wormhole it was cleaned up and lead to another overlay of the satellite image showing the South Wall and nearby Fortress City.

## **\_tunnel\_.jpg**

* The image is presumed to be the schematics for a tunnel the rebels intend to dig underneath the walls of Capitol city in order to extract people living there.
* Increasing the brightness of the image reveals links to 5 images containing the following phrases with some characters in red:
	+ Find the tunne**2**
	+ Capit**0**l City is a lie
	+ Look beneath the sur**v**ace
	+ The**r**e is a way out. **m**any ways
	+ There is a wa**y** out
* The characters were found to compose a link to a streamable video following the solving of the .msg image. (see below)
* A tunnel was found in the basement of the Rebel Compound. It is likely but unconfirmed that this is the same tunnel.

## **0degrees.jpg**

* The image shows a series of grey and white dots and a single character from the fire map ideogram that translates to **a**

## **msg.jpg**

* The image shows a data matrix which can be decoded by substituting black squares for 0 and black squares for 1. Line by line, the resulting binary code was translated via ASCII by @wormhole and reads: **protectedtext lettertojohn**
* This led to a password protected message on https://www.protectedtext.com/lettertojohn
* The password to the message was found by @svanu to be the RGB value of the background colour of the image: **255255107**
* The HEX encoded message, when decoded, reads: **[https://open.spotify.com/track/]**

**streamable lie out way tunnel surface---PS. find building 617, remember the year it all started, 2084**

* Taking the titles of the tracks listed on spotify gives: **John Redcorn - when you were young - read all about it - this message - something happened on the way to heaven - patrol - beyond the wall - find the truth - breaking the law**
* These song titles contain a message which can be decoded using the number string found in the broken TV barcode and the second radio transmission: **0101201012012340101230123030**
* Taking the 0’s as separating the song titles, each number represent the place of a word in each song title. So the first 1 represents the first word in ‘John Redcorn’ etc.This will render the message: **John when you read this message something happened on the patrol beyond the wall find the truth law**
* The last sentence before the PS encodes a link to a video on streamable.com When the sentence in the tunnel images are placed in the order in which the words ‘lie out way tunnel surface’ occur, and then the red characters from those sentence are taken in that order you get: **0rmy2v**  This makes the link to the Building 617 video: https://streamable.com/0mry2v
