2017/5a.plaintext

   1 maryam jodie has gone i arrived in selcuk as planned but she didnt make the rendezvous the local
   2 station think she may have been kidnapped but there has been no ransom demand and there is nothing
   3 much to go on her room had been ransacked and she left no message but something tells me she is ok
   4 and we should move on i think she may have planned this meanwhile i have the document jodie wanted
   5 from london i dont know how she knew but the fifth chapter was hidden in a cavity in a stone lintel
   6 in some remains in the ephesus room at the british museum it was encrypted using another poly
   7 alphabetic cipher invented in the nineteenth century i asked the museum to test it and the document
   8 is authentic so i guess the imperial cipher school really had moved on perhaps i shouldnt have been
   9 surprised after the discovery at bodrum but it leaves me wondering what else they developed one odd
  10 feature was a frieze running round three sides of the lintel consisting of a single row of
  11 blackandwhite tiles that the museum think were added in the roman period they read in sequence

  32 took me a while to figure out that the frieze is steganography concealing the keyword for the cipher
  33 in chapter five without jodie i am not sure where to go next there are only two possibilities as far
  34 as i can see but i have no idea where one of them is and as far as i can tell no one else knows
  35 either so i guess i will head for olympia see you there
