video + text + action
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?

how much english do you need to know for this?

[ this may need a little more legwork than a simple clue. ]

[c...come visit...!? she's so lost.]

[Her door's unlocked, and she's sitting on the edge of her bed, legs swinging. Her room is unashamedly girly, full of several cutesy things she's collected from the last several visits, but there's some practical aspects as well- a teapot, some books and writing instruments, and her big anti-gravity boots tucked in the corner.]

This might be trickier than first imagined... [ what a greeting. ]
action;
Should I just learn English before I try puzzles...?

[In other words, it's a bit of a long shot.]
What do you mean, outside the box? Is there something else we can try?
action;
[ a guess, given the girl's name. peggy doesn't know much of the language. she never worked in the pacific theatre, but there was reason enough to learn a few phrases. it's always good to know what the opposition forces speak. ]
action;
[She's talking so easily, so it should be Japanese, but is everyone understands her fine, it isn't.]

[How the heck does one concentrate on using their own language?]
Can you do it?

[ she never worked in the pacific theatre; it never came up. ]
action;
[She doesn't know any European. Except like, some food names. Maybe.]
