Introduction and Mission

You have just joined an elite, secret organization - so secret that most people don't even know it exists. Almost as soon as you've joined, the chief code-breaker disappears under very mysterious circumstances, taking his book of codes and ciphers with him. The organization's leaders are afraid that all of their codes have been compromised, and turn to you. Since you can't use any of the original code, your job is to create a new, unbreakable code. Explore the selected resources and use your knowledge of codes and ciphers to create a project to share with the group.
