  - Progressive intelligence unlocking
  - M2 hospital attack evidence reveal
  - Triggers m2_revelation_call event after distcc flag
  - Smoking gun evidence: $12,500 ProFTPD exploit → St. Catherine's

- Add m03_terminal_cyberchef.ink (Encoding/decoding workstation)
  - Whiteboard ROT13 decoding (Architect reference, Phase 1/2)
  - Client roster Hex decoding (ENTROPY cell list, Q3 revenue)
  - USB drive double-encoding (Base64 + ROT13)
  - Architect's Directive full decode (Phase 2 attack plans)
  - 50K+ patients, 1.2M customers impact projections
  - Multi-layer decoding tutorial/reference guide

Total Part 2: ~880 lines
Combined total: ~1,740 lines (4 scripts complete)

Title: The Architect's Directive
Cipher, Further exploitation priorities for Q4:
1. INFRASTRUCTURE EXPLOITS (PRIORITY)
Focus on healthcare sector SCADA systems
Energy grid ICS vulnerabilities.
2. CROSS-CELL COORDINATION
Provide Ransomware Inc and hospital targeted exploits.
Social Fabric exploits ransomware energy impacts.
3. OPERATIONAL SECURITY
WhiteHat Security front must remain convinced.
Victoria Sterling authorized to recruit double agents.
PHASE 2 TARGETS (Q4 2024 - Q1 2025):
Healthcare SCADA Systems:
- Hospital ventilation control (15 facilities identified)
- Patient monitoring networks (critical care units)
Energy Grid ICS:
- Substation automation (427 vulnerable units mapped)
PROJECTED IMPACT ANALYSIS:
- Healthcare disruption: 50,000+ patient treatment delays
- Energy disruption: 1.2M residential customers (winter)
- Combined chaos amplification factor: 3.7x
The Architect's Vision:
"Each cell operates independently. But coordinated,
they become inevitable. Systems fail. Society fragments.
Entropy accelerates."

ANALYSIS:
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This is a direct communication from "The Architect" -
ENTROPY's leadership figure.
KEY REVELATIONS:
1. PHASE 2 ATTACK PLANS
- 15 healthcare facilities targeted (SCADA control)
- 427 energy substations mapped for attack
- Q4 2024 - Q1 2025 timeline (IMMINENT)
2. PROJECTED CASUALTIES
- 50,000+ patient treatment delays
- 1.2 million customers without power (winter targeting)
- "Chaos amplification factor" - calculated mass harm
3. MULTI-CELL COORDINATION
- The Architect coordinates all ENTROPY cells
- Zero Day provides exploits
- Ransomware Inc deploys against hospitals
- Social Fabric amplifies panic/misinformation
- Synchronized multi-vector attack planned
4. VICTORIA STERLING'S AUTHORIZATION
- Authorized to recruit double agents
- Suggests infiltration of security/law enforcement
THREAT LEVEL: CRITICAL
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Immediate SAFETYNET response
Prevent Phase 2 deployment
Evidence logged. This is campaign-level intelligence.

COMMON ENCODING TYPES:
1. BASE64
- Looks like: Alphanumeric + / and = symbols
- Example: SGVsbG8gV29ybGQ=
- Operation: "From Base64"
2. ROT13 (Caesar Cipher)
- Looks like: Readable but nonsensical English
- Example: URYYB JBEYQ → HELLO WORLD
- Operation: "ROT13" (13-character shift)
3. HEXADECIMAL
- Looks like: Two-digit hex values (0-9, A-F)
- Example: 48 65 6C 6C 6F
- Operation: "From Hex"
4. MULTI-LAYER ENCODING
- Text encoded multiple times
- Decode in reverse order of encoding
- Example: Base64(ROT13(text)) needs ROT13 first, then Base64
TIP: If decoded output still looks encoded, try another
operation on the result (multi-layer encoding).
