Decoding the killswitch8 hints left
The guard has the code to shut down the drones.
You just need to decode it first. You get some instructions:
  • Version M3 UKWB
  • Rotor II: A Ring A
  • Rotor I: A Ring Q
  • Rotor III: A Ring L
  • Plugboard: f-z, a-i, b-d
  • Killswitch: cyykc dqfmk nqtcq nctmz lzymx jag

Any clues?

The person who designed this killswitch is a World War II enthusiast.

More clues?

Search Google with World War 2 and that M3 UKWB.

What should I find?

Those instructions are for Enigma Machine M3, a three rotor electromechanical cipher machine.

How can I use Enigma in this age and day?

There are Enigma emulators in the Internet.
Remember the instructions:

  • Rotor I: A Ring Q
  • Rotor III: A Ring L
  • Plugboard: f-z, a-i, b-d
  • Killswitch: cyykc dqfmk nqtcq nctmz lzymx jag

Hints on the instructions?

M3 is the model and UKWB is the reflector. Put the machine to DECODE mode.
There are three rotors. Rotor 1, 2 and 3. They should be set by the roman numerals. Then there are positions and rings.
  • Rotor II: A Ring A
  • Rotor I: A Ring Q
  • Rotor III: A Ring L
Finally, set up the plugboard
  • Plugboard: f-z, a-i, b-d
Input the code into the ciphertext view to see it in the plaintext
