If you add them together, you get 54. Subtracting 3 leaves 51.

These are just ideas.

Number games!!! With this new clue you can separate the number into a bunch of sections. It'll be interesting to see how this clue turns out..

Sorry for double post... Someone needs to protect East. When stuck in a Letters Numbers cipher, 51 becomes EA... The first two letters of East's name. Also, East is an officer.
I also got this after a bit of ciphering (this all follows the clue, except the first one)....
D G D I B F G C C I
A D A F Y C D Z Z F
A D A F C D F
D G D I B F G C C F
I have no idea what it means. maybe the double Z's mean it's targeting Z?

I protect myself because of tornado's reasoning.

Don't really see anything there, but I guess it's worth checking out some way.
