160.
bunny

Right.

I couldn't come up with a picture to illustrate the concept of "160", so here's a bunny balancing some cookies on his head.

It is perhaps time that we met face-to-face. I will be in the parking lot of the Discount Inn in Galaxy City, at 8PM Eastern Time on Wednesday, September 1st. You can get the directions from this entry in my idiot sister's journal. E-mail me at "hegemon {at} extraordinary-popular-delusions.com" if you plan to attend.

Here is another transmission I've obtained from the Fifth Column. I believe that it deals with the Third Key. Unfortunately my contact was captured in the middle of giving me the Enigma settings.

I know that the Stecker Pairs are "CO LU MN FI VE", because they always use those. The rotor setting is XYL. The rotors being used are 1, 3, and 4, but I don't know the correct order. The reflector setting is also unknown.

You can still click here to bring up the Enigma decorder up in a new window. Encoded message text follows:
