Thanks to SirMonocleFedora, the A04 encryption has been broken, and all messages have been decrypted.

You can find the decoder here.[1]

You can find mirrors of the various A04 files posted to the site here[2] and the decrypted A04 files here.[3]

Oh my god! I can't believe all the progress that's been made here. My only question is though, how did you figure it out? Trial and error?

Mad props. Perhaps we could get a file with all of them in order so we don't have to open all of them?

Here's[1] the translation. Some words didn't make any sense so I went off of how they sounded and related words.

So what is this, fiction? Or some people using this as a form of dead-drop communication? What?
