No, you're right. Longivitis
"Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." Matthew 5:11-12

I have no regrets.

Longivitis is one of the officers. Their name was used in the story, but I don't think they are being targeted.
This lack of a concrete clue confounds me... I have to wonder if it has to do with:
  • The capital letters
  • Only one instance where there is a space between caps-lock words?
  • The mention of "the Right-hand side"
  • Use of the number 2, twice?
  • UV lighting??
Not much to go on, but...
2018: Hovercraft, Thermo, Coaster, Solar System
2019: Thermo, Circuit Lab, Sounds, Wright Stuff
2020: Circuit Lab, Wright Stuff, Machines
2021: Circuit Lab, Machines, WIDI, anything but Wright Stuff

Can I request that we delete 2020 from our memories and do it over again?

- The monitor password is ACCESS
- Is the mother thing some sort of reference?
- There also a quote in the Sassy's sig
- Security Breach > for some reason this reminds me of the Heartbleed bug > venules?

The venules connection is a little vague, but maybe if we run out of ideas later. The quote is from The Princess Bride, and I fail to find a connection between that and this game, beyond the fact that a lot of people die. Can anybody else find a connection?
I have to wonder if there is some sort of word (or ciphertext) hidden in the caps-lock words, but I cannot find one.
Additionally, it may be that they are targeting a mod/admin, since their rules allow them to. Does anyone else see anything concrete?

P.S. I would like to caution the sassies that in the last game, excessively vague clues nearly caused the death of the game.

Apologies, it seems that you may need a hint. The keys are obvious, they have been mentioned before.

Second vigenere in sig with key of ACCESS reveals:
inside the parentheses

The text in the parentheses from the original clue is: (on the Right-hand side) (2 Killers enter the compartment.)(Longivitis hesitates for a moment, and steps forward.) (Aims a handgun at another crouching passenger.) (Nods head soundlessly, quickly searches through bag, and hands the assailants a smartphone which reads DATA under the ultraviolet floodlighting.)

Capitalized words are: Right(-hand) Killers Longivitis Aims Nods (DATA)

I can't get the other one right now, don't have a lot of time...

What strikes me is the capitalization of words not in the beginning of a sentence. That's what jumps out at me, idk
