Part 7: Malmesbury, South Africa


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CDbK2plvqw

The Cylons were created to make life easier on the Twelve Colonies. And then the day came when the Cylons decided to kill their masters. After a long and bloody struggle, an armistice was declared and the Cylons left for another world to call their own.

Forty years later, they returned, and brought humanity to the brink of extinction. The remaining humans, led by the crew of the Battlestar Galactica, fled in hopes of finding a new home, one known by legend as Earth.

Humanity’s only hope lies in finding Earth’s location while fighting off the unrelenting Cylons. But as resources run low, it is discovered that the enemy can now appear human and has infiltrated the fleet from the inside.

Crisis Phase - Malmesbury, South Africa

Cylons.
They're here again.

None of the pilots had gotten any sleep in the past 72 hours due to the attacking Cylons, and it looked like they wouldn't be able to get any sleep again.

The cylons.

How did they manage to get here before we did?

There are two base stars here and heavy raiders aimed at us, ETA of 24 hours. We have to jump, and fast.

...

FM Lee Adama retrieved the next puzzle, floating in a small canister outside. It appeared to be written in some sort of code or special language that he couldn't understand.

The setup phase has been skipped for this cycle.
Heavy raiders carrying a cylon raiding party have been launched toward the fleet. The 72 hour puzzle for this part must be solved in 24 hours.

Remember these updates to the rules:

1. Crisis phases will be ~72 hours with pre-set-hints coming out every ~24 hours. Each pre-set-hint will cost the fleet 2 morale, 2 food, and 2 water.

2. If the answers provided in some of the pre-set-hints have been posted in daychat, then no resources are deducted from the fleet and the player who posted the solution will have the option to choose to regain +1 of any resource.

3. If a cylon PMs me with parts of the puzzle solution that are to be revealed in pre-set-hints before it is posted in daychat, the cylon will gain a charge of his ability to remove 24 hours from the upcoming crisis phase. Cylons can store up to 2 charges at a time, and a maximum of 48 hours may be removed from each crisis phase.

4. If a cylon -reveals as a cylon at the end of a setup phase (and he is not in the brig), he will gain an automatic +2 charge of the ability listed above in addition to entering a private chat with other cylons.

5. Not solving a puzzle will result in a -5 to morale, -4 to food, and -4 to water.

This crisis phase will last ~24 hours with pre-set hints set to trigger approximately every 24 hours.

[FM Ferengi]

For clarity:

Pre-set hint #1 involves something about the puzzle's theme.
Pre-set hint #2 triggers after you find the next location (city, country).
Pre-set hint #3 triggers after you find the next part of the recipe.

Hints can be triggered out of order, but all three parts of the puzzle should be solved in order to complete the puzzle. This time, things aren't clearly separated out, but all three solutions are hidden within the codetext.

Best of luck. Shame people weren't more active for this. :(

what i found about midewi


The preverb mide can be translated as "mystery," "mysterious," "spiritual," "sanctimonious," "sacred," or "ceremonial", depending on the context of its use. The derived verb midewi, thus means "be in/of mide."

so maybe:
it's a mystery

those guys are natives in north east usa/south east canada

Part 7 Solution:

Theme:
If you quote the puzzle, you will realize that the color code used is


This means that part of this puzzle can be solved using Bacon's Cipher.

[COLOR="#EE82EE"]Bacon's Cipher:
The puzzle in yellow is encoded using Bacon's Cipher, which uses a mixture of bolded and non-bolded letters in groups of five to represent different letters of the alphabet. The yellow text deciphered reads "Mongu, Zambia" which is the location of the next jump.

[COLOR="#EE82EE"]Recipe:
The important part about the text in this puzzle wasn't the translation, but instead the languages used to make each translation. Using google translate and google, it is quite easy to figure out the languages used in each sentence. The translated text may be useful for flavor and directions later on...
