To get started on the HISAC Terminal, type the command ‘help’. It will give you a list of other commands and directories.

Typing ‘ls’ will give you a list of files:

Caesar cipher with key H for HISAC, decodes to:

This ghost is in the wire. Find the opening. The opening is external... I’m tall when I’m young, and I’m short when I’m old. What am I?

JABBERWOCKY - Audio file, save code as mp3, reverse and get the 5th verse of Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll:

One, two! One, two! And through and through

      The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head

      He went galumphing back.

Welcome to the CORE!

You have entered a cold and dark place, the only sound you hear is the constant hum; it is a sound that vibrates through your very being.

After some moments you realise there is another sound, is it a carrier wave? Is there a signal embedded within the hum? What is this place and what is in store for you? The questions keep coming, thick and fast, but the biggest questions of them all are: will they be answered and how?

PORTAL ERROR: opening not stable, do not give up. The Ghost in the wire has disconnected you!

Hex > Bin > ASCII gives: open-portal jabberwocky

This is the Ephemeral Ingress, the entry point into the CORE. Our records are patchy at best. The only known person to have ever seen the Ephemeral Ingress and explore what is beyond was Alice Hargreaves (whereabouts currenly unknown). Her notes were classified as "Above Secret" and taken away soon after she left the Institute in 1984.
