   1 well that was a surprise i found the attached letter on my doormat in a copy of the local magazine
   2 it was clever really there is no way to trackback to how it got there and no point in wasting time
   3 or resources trying to find out in any case it was clear that trinity sent it and equally clear what
   4 she wanted even the cipher they have used is a message to me it is double encrypted with the second
   5 stage using the same polybius grid i used for my last diary entry they are telling me that i have
   6 nowhere to hide once i stripped that off i was left with a standard but tricky cipher to break
   7 fortunately i learned the dark arts of frequency analysis and cribbing from harry so it didnt take
   8 long to crack it the second surprise is that i dont know what to do normally any unsolicited
   9 approach like this would be instantly reported to the lamplighters so they could investigate but as
  10 trinity points out i had already concealed the last intercept from harry worried that it might
  11 damage his trust in me it will not look good if he finds that out from them but if i tell him then i
  12 will also have to tell him about this direct appeal to join them i dont think that will make things
  13 any better between us there is something else too the founders of the conspiracy are personal heroes
  14 of mine and icant bear to think that they might have been working for the darkside if it is true
  15 then i would rather find out for myself than leave it to others in boss i suppose i could tell all
  16 and offer to infiltrate the agency but the history of double agents is not a happy one it is hard to
  17 really trust someone who has worked for the opposition even if they do it undercover too many have
  18 been corrupted by the compromises required and i am not sure i am cutout for that sort of work i
  19 dont think harry would insist but i am certain somebody in boss would the talk of the pandemic and
  20 cop will be a red flag and someone somewhere will be desperate to break into the conspiracy
  21 desperate enough to make mean offer icant refuse i will have to take this further but before i agree
  22 to meet trinity i need to know more the name of the souter point lighthouse rings a bell but icant
  23 remember where i came across it i will have to get the trainees to figure out why it might be
  24 important meanwhile i have another more urgent trip to make to mass our ie
