Success

Postmarked last month from London

You correspond regularly with the Bishop of St Fiacre's. His Grace knows how to turn a phrase so that, when you turn it back over yourself, you always find hidden meanings [...]

[...] but tonight, you decrypt a note about the Youthful Naturalist. [...]


Failure

Suspiciously readable

The first code is easy [...] But the third code? The fourth? They're increasingly less challenging.

[...] How did you miss this before? These are forged. Your courier must have been intercepted.

Whatever the Mithridate Office knows now, it's too much.
