Message from Tom
Edit
The Big D demanded a tutorial be included, so here it is.
Short version: Plug this into any Institute terminal and copy the message.
Long version: PATRIOT's been sending us short coded messages for years using an evil little encryption scheme. It was a bitch and a half to reverse-engineer (PATRIOT's got skill!), but I nailed it. Put this holotape on any Institute terminal and it'll deliver a gift-wrapped message straight to PATRIOT. You're going into the belly of the beast, friend, don't trust anything.
