CYPHER'S BETRAYAL PROTOCOL
📜 Briefing
You've intercepted a encrypted message from Cypher to Agent Smith. The traitor thought he was clever, using his namesake cipher to hide his treachery. Intelligence suggests Cypher has been using a Caesar cipher - fitting for someone who considers himself an emperor of deception. The message was sent just before the fateful dinner where he sold out Morpheus. Your mission: decrypt this transmission to understand what Cypher truly values above the real world.
The message was found in the construct logs, timestamped moments before the Nebuchadnezzar crew entered the Matrix for their ill-fated operation. Cypher's digital fingerprints are all over it, and the encryption is surprisingly straightforward - perhaps his arrogance made him careless, or maybe he wanted to be caught.
