Scioly Assassination 149: The Dark Knight Returns

I tried ascii since there are 32 bits, but it gives gibberish

The mention of Aliens in the signature makes me think of the IRC folks who play jackbox (namely Push the Button, a game with aliens), but there *is* a possibility that it's a coincidence.

I suspected that H=1 may have been related to a Caesar cipher but plugging Vulcan and Hephaestus didn't really seem to reveal anything. If someone else wants to give it a jab just in case I just didn't pick up on a hint, please do

I think the hahas are a binary code, where h=1 and a=0, but I don't think it's ascii

Since there were two lines of 'ha's and Fyren for the XOR, I converted them to binary and plugged them in and found 34F in hex and 847 in decimal

I'll protect myself because of the 34, but I have a feeling I'm not it bc why would the F be there and I'll change if need be

Actually, I think protecting you might not be a bad idea. The F could stand for Florida, and you went to Boca

I tried XORing the
haahaahhahhahhaa
haahaaaaaahaaahh
but it returned 0000001101001111 which doesn't convert to anything in ascii

Not sure if anyone already stated this, but theres a Percy Jackson chat

Protect raytay then?

[SilverBreeze]

I protect raytay until further notice because of the Percy Jackson thread and because they have an accusation point.

Also, searching for Percy Jackson pulls up LMN's game involving the clue with Nico, but I feel like that's diving down a rabbit hole.

Beaver#1596

sd dkuo?

Where are all the aliens?

East of Kansas City

This is what we have for Sassy ID, as well as general clues based on things like theme and whatnot.

No luck with Beaver #1596 as a Discord yet, investigating address.
Umaroth says sd dkuo could be "it take?" with Caesar +10. Doesn't really seem to have much else yet?
Aliens could refer to a wide variety of things.

[Umaroth]

So currently what we have is most likely going to have to do with XORing the two haha strings at the end, and when we do that we get:
00000011 01001111
Which could be two ascii characters given that we can break it up into two bytes. This would give us ETX (end of text) and a capital O. I don't have any ideas after that point.
