Midnight Ignition

Miscellaneous 100 pts standard

Challenge Description

The engine is silent, but the message is not. An image of a sleek machine was intercepted during an investigation. Analysts suspect it carries hidden data — possibly instructions, possibly something more. Initial scans reveal nothing unusual. But experienced eyes know: the most valuable secrets are never obvious. Follow the trail, uncover the key, and decode what lies beneath.
