Who: Peggy Carter & YOU
Broadcast: Y, fleetwide.
Action: Aboard the Starstruck, if you like.
When: Today.
[ a video feed flickers to life, and fights for a moment to adequately focus on its subject. peggy carter sits in the kitchen aboard the starstruck, cup of tea and her elbow and half a biscuit in her hand. dabbing at crumbs, she sets her food aside and offers the network a bright smile. ]
That message -- the ominous one, in the bizarre language? It put me in mind of the sort of cryptograms and puzzles you might see in the Sunday paper. [ her expression is cheery enough, although she's not being wholly honest about her interest in such games. she won't be the one to say the words bletchley and park.] I loved them. Them, and crosswords. I thought maybe some of you might like them, too. [ ... ] We could do a few together. I'm not saying we all join a club, exactly, but back home they were always better solved in good company.
Let's start you off with one that's easy enough. But there's no shame in needing a hint, if needed. For what it's worth, the text I'm attaching is, in its deciphered form, English -- not yet certain how the augments' translation will handle it. We'll see.
[ -- and then an afterthought: ]
...By chance, has anyone been brewing their own beer?

[ she might know precisely who is speaking to her, of course, but that's only because she's a nosy sort and has gone to lengths to be aware of certain names and certain faces. ]

Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose – a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.

Uh, the description of this week's fleetesode?

It should be, shouldn't it? We could all use a bit of steady purpose.

and she'd be much better at it than her mun]Ooooo! A puzzle! You are about to become one of my favorite people here.
[She's already moving aside the items she'd been tinkering with and starts typing it out as she works up a key.]
So you had papers? Like newspapers? [Betamax had seen some ancient examples in the archives of the Last City - under glass case and so fragile it looked like a soft breath might tatter them apart.]

[ he had a bit too much of that with a future that doesn't bode well for anyone, a rift that has finally come to pass when the memories surged in tony and now this, a message from a planet, of all things, or perhaps, the spacecraft? it's hard to say who is warning them and of what.
a butcher, the message says and he sighs as he sits down, smiles and takes a piece out of the biscuit. ]
I'm still not sure what to think of the other one.

It sounds like a good idea to kill some time. I'm in.
[...This man needs more hobbies, definitely.]

Cheers. The more, the merrier. If there's enough interest, I might make it a regular thing.

I do, however, have a still that puts out a pretty decent 80 proof clear spirit (along with a 130 proof first run that I don't advise using for anything but de-greasing and sterilising). Not to worry, it's distilled responsibly and won't make you go blind.
text;
Unfortunately, in this instance I'm after the yeast extract from a home-brew operation.
That said, I wouldn't turn down a bit of bartering for some of your 80 proof.

(And what are you making with yeast extract, anyway? Marmite?)
