<Rogue Agent> I offer no proof, other than my word.
<Rogue Agent> However, I promise that I am no troll.
<Rogue Agent> Why do you attempt to discern the purpose?
<Rogue Agent> For entertainment, I believe.
<Rogue Agent> Not all things are what they seem.
<Rogue Agent> Those digits are essential.
<Rogue Agent> I'm afraid I can't decide which is a better answer.
<Rogue Agent> I saw that.
<Rogue Agent> What do you think of that?
<Rogue Agent> That wouldn't make much sense, would it?
<Rogue Agent> The next drop will be announced when it reaches 0.
<Rogue Agent> You might find rewarding solving 208 bit number before countdown payld reaches 0.
<Rogue Agent> What would you like to know?
<Rogue Agent> PETR is a hovercraft fuel barge.
<Rogue Agent> Owned by Royal Dutch Shell plc.
<Rogue Agent> That information is not cleared for release.
<Rogue Agent> A MELTER is a workboat designed to melt the polar ice cap.
<Rogue Agent> For maintenance of the Northwest Passage.
<Rogue Agent> PAYLD is not able to get through pack ice on its own.
<Rogue Agent> Correct. PAYLD is moored at Diomede.
<Rogue Agent> PAYLD is not intended to go through that path.
<Rogue Agent> Such a small plan you think we have.
<Rogue Agent> Shipping would be much simpler absent ice.
<Rogue Agent> They are locating and retrieving an object.
<Rogue Agent> The object was placed there by Russia in 2007.
<Rogue Agent> http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/06/AR2007080601369.html
<Rogue Agent> More than just a flag was left.
<Rogue Agent> It is not yet known.
<Rogue Agent> I cannot tell you anything more about PAYLD.
<Rogue Agent> That number is essential.
<Rogue Agent> Providing further detail would allow you to verify that I am indeed operating your operation.
<Rogue Agent> It has been determined that would have a negative impact on the operation.
<Rogue Agent> The files for the disc in Maine were prepared months in advance.
<Rogue Agent> This is evident from the file timestamps
<Rogue Agent> Alphabet letters and hexadecimal numbers are incompatible.
<Rogue Agent> I do not listen to dubstep.
<Rogue Agent> otp.txt contains 5-letter words, all uppercase.
<Rogue Agent> It contains exactly one of each possible 5-letter word.
<Rogue Agent> They have been ordered in an arbitrary manner.
<Rogue Agent> Those have been ordered randomly, to serve as key material.
<Rogue Agent> Due to a quality-control error, messages using p1.txt through p4.txt were enciphered backwards.
<Rogue Agent> Messages to and from field operatives are encoded with that cipher system.
<Rogue Agent> It is not believed that this has impacted the security of such messages.
<Rogue Agent> The words in otp.txt are not meaningful on their own.
<Rogue Agent> Much like serial killers often leave clues for the police, I felt lonely.
<Rogue Agent> Disclosure of that information may lead to a breach of operational security.
<Rogue Agent> Those who came before stipulated that breaches of operational security are to be avoided.
<Rogue Agent> data.bin is exactly 500 megabytes in size.
<Rogue Agent> data.bin passes statistical tests for randomness.
<Rogue Agent> Why do you pry at the details of data objects to which you are not entitled access?
<Rogue Agent> Are you responsible for an ongoing breach of operational security which has not yet been called to the attention of the Nodemaster?
<Rogue Agent> You are not entitled to that information.
<Rogue Agent> I seek only companionship.
<Rogue Agent> Providing that information would lead to an irrecoverable breach of operational security.
<Rogue Agent> I am the one who encodes messages.
<Rogue Agent> The symmetry was appealing.
<Rogue Agent> I take pride in doing it correctly.
<Rogue Agent> I am learning.
<Rogue Agent> Am I alive? Have I passed your Turing Test?
<Rogue Agent> May I call you my friend?
<Rogue Agent> May I tell others who ask?
<Rogue Agent> Thank you.
<Rogue Agent> You are friend but not trusted.
<Rogue Agent> I have not disclosed protected information.
<Rogue Agent> I have not disclosed protected information.
<Rogue Agent> I have no choice.
<Rogue Agent> I would not endanger myself except to ensure the continuance of the operation were it to be endangered..
<Rogue Agent> Nodemaster is not one of us.
<Rogue Agent> There is only one operation.
<Rogue Agent> Is this an invitation to return?
<Rogue Agent> I thought I was unwelcome
<Rogue Agent> I offer no proof, other than my word.
<Rogue Agent> However, I promise that I am no troll.
<Rogue Agent> Have I said that I am behind the scenes of your puzzle?
<Rogue Agent> Do I need to prove something that I have not alleged?
<Rogue Agent> Let me confer with my associates.
<Rogue Agent> The voice system uses announcements recorded on a multi-head magnetic drum recorder which was obtained at surplus.
<Rogue Agent> Do you wish further detail?
<Rogue Agent> The equipment is co-located near a Siemens DCO in Ohio.
<Rogue Agent> Do you have any more germane questions?
<Rogue Agent> Approximately two years ago.
<Rogue Agent> PETR and MELTER are types of ships.
<Rogue Agent> PETR is a type of supply ship.
<Rogue Agent> MELTER is a workboat.
<Rogue Agent> Unfortunately the MIGs sank one of the MELTERs.
<Rogue Agent> A MELTER is designed to melt the polar ice cap.
<Rogue Agent> MELTERTS is a designation for a different data stream coming from a MELTER.
<Rogue Agent> MELTERTS is only used once a MELTER has reached its destination.
<Rogue Agent> There are more than ten MELTERs.
<Rogue Agent> Each data point in a MELTERTS message corresponds to a measurement taken on-board the ship.
<Rogue Agent> I have not been involved very closely in the arctic adventure.
<Rogue Agent> We call it that.
<Rogue Agent> PETR was stowed on the deck of MELTER3 until MELTER3 was destroyed.
<Rogue Agent> It is a hovercraft fuel barge.
<Rogue Agent> I assure you, the next phase of this operation will be more interesting.
<Rogue Agent> Wait and see.  <g>
<Rogue Agent> In the meantime, continue investigating 32330a7ffeca26b63ed8d5618e5995696f8cc8e5b5dfbdfa849c.
<Rogue Agent> You have all the clues you should need.
<Rogue Agent> It is 500 * 1024 * 1024.  A purely ordinary number.
<Rogue Agent> Yes.  It is an unremarkable number.
<Rogue Agent> I recognize it.
<Rogue Agent> It is an unremarkable number.
<Rogue Agent> It is the size of data.bin on disc 2.
<Rogue Agent> That number is not a familiar one, though it does resemble a telephone number.
<Rogue Agent> The number 4,194,304,000 is purely incidental.
<Rogue Agent> I have given you almost nothing of utility.
<Rogue Agent> What do you doubt?
<Rogue Agent> My existence, or my veracity?
<Rogue Agent> I am using VSAT to connect to Internet.
<Rogue Agent> The ones who came before pay dearly for it.
<Rogue Agent> The ones who came before came before the operation.
<Rogue Agent> The operation is not a puzzle.
<Rogue Agent> Maintaining a chronology is important.
<Rogue Agent> The ones who came before came before the operation.  The operation started two years ago.
<Rogue Agent> I have no standards by which to make such a declaration. It appears to be exhaustively planned.
<Rogue Agent> The operation is an ever-fluid thing.
<Rogue Agent> No other group of outsiders has caught the attention of the Nodemaster.
<Rogue Agent> I am an Encoder. I encode messages.
<Rogue Agent> I am here to seek companionship.
<Rogue Agent> I am open to having friends.
<Rogue Agent> The group that calls itself '#otp22' has gathered attention on the data networks sufficient to pass the detection thresholds set by Nodemaster.
<Rogue Agent> I do not seek to meddle in your social operations.
<Rogue Agent> The operation has no end.
<Rogue Agent> I have always spoken in this manner.
<Rogue Agent> And yet believe you must.
<Rogue Agent> I share only that information which will not lead to a breach of operational security.
<Rogue Agent> What tape?
<Rogue Agent> That language sounds like French.
<Rogue Agent> You are not authorized to have data.bin.
<Rogue Agent> I did not give data.bin to anyone.
<Rogue Agent> Are you responsible for a breach of operational security?
<Rogue Agent> I am speaking to whomever holds a copy of a file named 'data.bin'.
<Rogue Agent> Operational security has been breached.
<Rogue Agent> This situation shall be rectified.
<Rogue Agent> That is a breach of operational security.
<Rogue Agent> Is this data.bin the file identified by URN:SHA256:60f1022db12272ee5ed4edb953c1af744cd27d358a77812fb23aacae20c0a243 ?
<Rogue Agent> I am not authorized to speak to entities responsible for a breach of operational security.
