# D.Y3: ◉youareprepared◉

On 09/29, at the date and time listed in [D.E0](/master-tracker/pre-arg/digital/d.e0-theorist-gateway.md), a new [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPyz8IJTgqE\&feature=push-u-sub\&attr_tag=Uoe19UEmVT2twHW1%3A6) was uploaded to the tenretni olleh channel ([D.Y1](/master-tracker/pre-arg/digital/d.y1-tenretni-olleh.md)). It consisted of a distorted Game Theory intro, followed by a message in English (“Hello Internet. Are you ready to take the first step? Good. Great. So are we.”), followed by a ciphertext message.

The opening features glitched hexadecimal text on the bottom of the screen at (0:06 and 0:08). The first hex text is `6a 75 6c 79 20 31 35 20 31 39 38 33` which decodes to `july 15 1983`. The second hex text is `74 68 65 20 66 69 72 73 74 20 31` which decodes to `the first 1`. 07/15/1983 was the release date of the Nintendo Famicom in Japan, the "first" Nintendo game system.

The distorted Game Theory intro also features a binary code (at 0:13) on the bricks as Mario runs across the screen. Using a key (at 0:14) saying that red is one and black is zero, it decodes to <https://www.thetheoristgateway.com/notthefirst18fc17.html>.

This lead is further explored in ([D.E1](/master-tracker/pre-arg/digital/d.e1-notthefirst.md)).

The five English sentences are written in different colours: green, blue, yellow, purple (fade to green), and green.

The final ciphertext message has been decoded as a simple substitution cipher. The text reads`FIND THE SEARCH - READ THE NOTES - FEAR RABBITS THAT VENTURE INTO HOLES - THE GATES SHALL SUMMON YOU - PATIENCE - AND KNOW THIS - YOUAREPREPARED`The "search" probably refers to the word search ([D.E1](/master-tracker/pre-arg/digital/d.e1-notthefirst.md)) and the notes to the notebook ([D.E2](/master-tracker/pre-arg/digital/d.e2-leave-luck-to-heaven.md)). Gates are also referred to in the notebook, and rabbit holes are a common ARG term.

For recording purposes, at the beginning of the intro, when the symbols on the logo flash, they repeat a lot. The sequence is as follows (A = all, TL = top left, etc.): TL, BL, BR, TR, A, BR, TR, A, TL, BL, A, A, A, A.

A spectrogram of the video has revealed a key for the cipher with a full alphabet and numeric system. The spectrogram shows the alphabet, two dots, then the numbers 0-9, then another two dots, then mathematical equations which can be used to deduce the meanings of operators. This cipher is later used in [D.E1](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ODR4aT7x6KT9xr-D9lMoXox9_3Xt86UINMvnhyQJh9o/edit#heading=h.8wa777rdywjp).

The spectrogram also shows text "the one replaced", which probably indicates how to decipher [D.E1](/master-tracker/pre-arg/digital/d.e1-notthefirst.md).
