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