==Forgotten==
 +
The video "[[Forgotten]]" contained two puzzles. The first was found at the beginning of the video where several groupings of letters can be seen, and was quickly solved. The second puzzle (see [[#French Puzzle|French Puzzle]]) is still unsolved and may require several videos to complete.
 +
 +
The letter groupings found in the video are:

 +
These letter groupings were soon discovered to be a vigenère cipher, which utilized the keyword "W". Once deciphered, the letters yielded:
 +

 +
 +
In proper text, the letters form a complete thought, with several sentences:
 +
{{Quote||Why has this happened to me? Is there anything I can do? Is it hopeless? Do I have any chance of living? I want to live. I'll do whatever it takes. I'll do anything to stary alive. I'll do anything - just please save me.}}
 +
 +
==Objective Assigned==
 +
The video "[[Objective Assigned]]" contained two puzzles. The first was prominently found in the middle of the video as morse code (seen below). The second puzzle (see [[#French Puzzle|French Puzzle]]) is still unsolved and may require several videos to complete.
 +
 +
The complete morse code heard within the video was:
 +
-.. . -- .-. .- / . .-. .- / ..- --- -.-- / . .-. ..- ... / . -.- .- -- / ... .-. . .-- --- .--. / .-.. .-.. .. .-- / ... .. / . -- .- -. / ... - . --. .-. .- - / . .... -
 +
 +
Translated, this comes out to:
 +
DEMRA ERA UOY ERUS EKAM SREWOP LLIW SI EMAN STEGRAT EHT
 +
 +
This phrase, reversed gave the final phrase:
 +
{{Quote||The target's name is [[Will Powers]]. Make sure you are armed.}}
 +
 +
==Point Insertion==
 +
The video "[[Point Insertion]]" contained two puzzles. The first has yet to be uncovered, although it is known that it is in Morse Code (due to a tag). The second puzzle (see [[#French Puzzle|French Puzzle]]) is still unsolved and may require several videos to complete.
 +
 +

Forgotten

The video "Forgotten" contained two puzzles. The first was found at the beginning of the video where several groupings of letters can be seen, and was quickly solved. The second puzzle (see French Puzzle) is still unsolved and may require several videos to complete.

The letter groupings found in the video are: 

SDUDW OPDEO DWLLA JAZPK
IAEOP DANAW JUPDE JCEYW
JZKEO EPDKL AHAOO ZKEDW
RAWJU YDWJY AKBHE REJCE
SWJPP KHERA EHHZK SDWPA
RANEP PWGAO EHHZK WJUPD
EJCPK OPWNU WHERA EHHZK
WJUPD EJCFQ OPLHA WOAOW
RAIA

These letter groupings were soon discovered to be a vigenère cipher, which utilized the keyword "W". Once deciphered, the letters yielded: 

WHYHA STHIS HAPPE NEDTO
MEIST HEREA NYTHI NGICA
NDOIS ITHOP ELESS DOIHA
VEANY CHANC EOFLI VINGI
WANTT OLIVE ILLDO WHATE
VERIT TAKES ILLDO ANYTH
INGTO STARY ALIVE ILLDO
ANYTH INGJU STPLE ASESA
VEME

In proper text, the letters form a complete thought, with several sentences:

Quote
“
”
Why has this happened to me? Is there anything I can do? Is it hopeless? Do I have any chance of living? I want to live. I'll do whatever it takes. I'll do anything to stary alive. I'll do anything - just please save me.

Objective Assigned

The video "Objective Assigned" contained two puzzles. The first was prominently found in the middle of the video as morse code (seen below). The second puzzle (see French Puzzle) is still unsolved and may require several videos to complete.

The complete morse code heard within the video was: 

-.. . -- .-. .- / . .-. .- / ..- --- -.-- / . .-. ..- ... / . -.- .- -- / ... .-. . .-- --- .--. / .-.. .-.. .. .-- / ... .. / . -- .- -. / ... - . --. .-. .- - / . .... -

Translated, this comes out to: 

DEMRA ERA UOY ERUS EKAM SREWOP LLIW SI EMAN STEGRAT EHT

This phrase, reversed gave the final phrase:

Quote
“

The target's name is Will Powers. Make sure you are armed.

Point Insertion
