Once it makes the final approach on name, a silver light appears. Seems to looks like a cat. Somehow, it's transparent, and still manages to repels the small car. Endlessly, the car contiously tries and get past me, but the car starts beeping, slowly at first, then rapidly speeding up. Trying to get past the silver cat, I put a final boost into the car, trying for some way to get to name, the car explodes. GRR. My target has survived again... I want revenge. Mission failed. We'll get them next time.

Name has sucessfully been protected.

TCS and hippo9 are discussing the correct protect.
TCS: HA the sassy has failed again!
hippo9: Don't laugh yet, we still need to catch him first.
As TCS walks, his head hits on a steel pole
TCS: OW! That hurt! I think that steel poles like 11/10 painful.
hippo9: back when I was a little boy, the pole would be measured by a modulus

A dark booming voice can be heard by the officers:

Hello there, sea warriors. How's the investigation going? You better catch me soon, you don't want some clear and pure people to die would you?

EDIT: 48 hours
Kate's picture is a cat. Silver light and transparent, repels the car- patronus, refers to kate's discord name, sometimes her IRC name, and also is just a harry potter reference (her interests). The car is a RCXD (Mission failed. We'll get them next time- COD reference, beeping and blows up). Don't laugh yet- no XD. According to wikipedia the name murphy means sea-warrior. RC Murphy is kate's school. Also the meaning of kate's name is clear and pure. I guess the meaning of thier names could kinda be a ID clue but it wasn't intentional. ID clues- Modulus refers to young's modulus, a part of material science (and also could refer to code buster math). The fermi value of steel in pascals is 11. The outta 10 is just to make it seem less weird. Clear and pure could refer to water quality.

Edit: first letter in each sentence in the beginning of the first paragraph spells out SYOSSET

I'm lazy so here

TWWWRQMPERKUACVBPGKWNAM

It's a vignere cipher in case you were interested

Here's a ID clue even though you probably recieved more then enough of them already

BJMBAIFAETWWH

It's also a vignere

YEULHAVKMYPSME

That's another vignere ID clue but it's extremly hard compared to the other vigneres

https://www.dcode.fr/vigenere-cipher would probably be useful

48 hours
I used the decoder to encode the message, so in order to decode you had to use the enocder. You guys got the first one, it was "encoded" with alexrchs
BJMBAIFAETWWH was encoded with syosset. Plaintext is THATISMYSCHOOL
LEGPUAHOZYBWZE was double encoded with name. Decoded it would be YESTHATSMYNAME

It's not bad to have a detailed hint...

A seemingly old note, maybe 5 years old has been found. It states:

Brain
Spongebob
Encephalo

bsefficjdcwdgss

You will die

Image yum
First letters say BSE- bovine spoginform encephalopathy. It affects the brain, spongebob refers to the spogiform part. 5 years is the incubation period of the disease. The bird is a prion. BSE FFI CJD CWD and GSS are all abbreviations of prion diseases. You will die- can't prevent prion disease deaths. The link is about cannonbalism - kuru, also I saw a interesting fermi question about the number of calories in a human once which also makes it a really weak ID clue. I'm really suprised nobody made the connection, I thought it was the easiest hint I made....

Let's play powerball! Your numbers are: 1, 1, 2, 3, 7, 137 I know that's not how it works... lets just say a modified version idk
Edit: 48 hours
You may PM me as a civilian with the correct target and you may replace madcow
Petabit petabyte powerball all pb
I was lead- lead is pb, I made part of the text size 82 which is the number for lead
Multiply the numbers to get 5754
Assassinator wrote:As I sneak up to pb5754[] I realize i'm late to the scioly meet and hurry off leaving pb5754[] alive.

Even more numbers were discovered:
203
870
4838
955
06614


Ferry
Blvd
Stratford
CT
A person is addressed to
Canteena It's a boat! No it's a house!
Let's grill some seafood

You seem to need some ID help... I suggest checking out Kate's kill hint, it has a couple of ID hints

48 hours
Officer spot still open
Everything refers to joeyC's boathouse cantina and grill (address phone number etc)
A person is addressed to by thier name


Ill finish up later
