Amateur clues:    If you’re doing this puzzle by the clues below, the letters-numbers can be entered as the clues are decoded.

Enter the numbers using the arrows left or right of each alphabet or number.

Alphabets and numbers to enter:     A to J (no I) and 1-9

No letter or number appears more than once.

The top row contains BEF in that order. (Therefore enter BEF on top row.)

The vowels are in the middle column in the top 2 rows. (Therefore 2nd row is -A-.)

In the same column, E is above H which is above 6. (Therefore – EH6 are in the middle column in certain order)

In the same column, J is above D, which is directly above 3, which is above 1. (Therefore – JD31 are in rows 2-5.)

The fifth row contains 1, 2 and 9 in some order.

8 is before 6 in one row and 2 is after 9 in another. (So 86 and 92 in 2 rows.)

In one column G is directly below C and above 2. CG2. So 2 is at right column.

(So – JD31 of rows 2-5 are in left column and the order of row 5 is 192. H is third row middle column. C and G are in rows 2 and 3 at right column.)

The fourth row contains only odd numbers. (So – 357 in some order).

7 is before 5 in one row.

(So fourth row is 375 and 6 is middle column at bottom row. The bottom row is then 864.)

Master clues:    Enter the numbers using the arrows left or right of each alphabet or number.

Alphabets and numbers to enter:     A to J (no I) and 1-9

No letter or number appears more than once

C is below A and above H in the same column. (Therefore ACH.)

E is above D and immediately next to J.

3 is next to 4 and below G which is below D. (Therefore EDG.)

In one column, B is immediately below J and above 4 which is immediately above 6. (Therefore JBF and 46).

All three columns contain three consecutive numbers in some order (1-3, 4-6, 7-9 in some order).

The fifth row contains only even numbers, in decreasing value from left to right. (Therefore 862 is in the 5th row; and 4 and JBF are in the middle column. 4 is at 4th row with 3 at right of 4).

7 is to the left of 1. (Last row 751 and 4th row 943).

Archive symbols:    The archive symbols have 6 sets of 22 symbols total. The cipher wheel has only 5 sets of 20 symbols total. The numbers of symbols do not match.

Note that some of the sets have ending symbols that are the beginning symbols of another set. For example; the top left set ends with % and bottom right set starts with %.

Arrange the symbols:    Enter the symbols of the archive paper on the cipher wheel. The duplicated symbols that are the end of one set and beginning of another are entered only once. This is the clue to show the sequence of the sets.

The added clue to the sequence is the set of symbols drawn on Kate’s case notes. It shows what is next after the exclamation mark symbol.

The starting symbol-set is shown by an arrow (the top left set).

Click hold a symbol-wheel and drag it to the place you want it positioned.

When all symbols are correctly placed, the top and bottom arrows are released. 4 symbols are locked as a set making 5 sets.

Zoe wants Nancy to neutralize Ewan while she gets people to scour the city for bombs.

Take the spyglass that Zoe modified to be able to talk to Nancy.

Neutralize Ewan:    Go to Cathedral control center.

Zoe tells Nancy through the modified spy glass that Alec and Moira are in the loop. They are helping to look for the bombs.

There are 4 bombs. The 4 bombs have to be found first before being neutralized since if one is turned off it will trigger the others.

Zoe wants Nancy to take Ewan out.

Thermostat:    Go to the thermostat at server room again. Let’s trap Ewan.

Go to the thermostat and see that it is now password protected. Remember Ewan’s code on the paper in Ewan’s lair.

For the real action:     Turn the temperature higher or lower until the alarm sounds.

Immediately hide doing the route practiced on – back up, back up, left to exit, forward, left to first aisle (B1) and right to main computer server recess.

Lock Ewan:    Once Nancy says to continue – go to the fire wall panel left of the entrance to the server room.

Open the cabinet and press button B3 (second from left). This drops the firewall on aisle 3 and locks Ewan inside.

Ewan:    Ewan says it won’t stop him and that he already won.

Grab the necessary USBs and get the servers online:

Zoe tells Nancy to collect USBs from the servers. The bombs are controlled from the computers here.

The USBs have to be collected in order.

Review the server locations:

B1 is the area where the main computer server is located – from exit; first aisle at right. There are servers on the left when facing that aisle.

B2 is the area at back aisle at right. There are servers left wall and right wall when facing that aisle.

B3 is the area where Ewan is locked in and has the thermostat.

B4 is the area first aisle at left. There are servers left wall and right wall when facing that aisle.

Find the correct server:    Zoe will mention the color of the USB and the clan of the tartan on the server.

Collect USB:

Check the tartan book to recognize the tartan of that clan.

Then look for the server that has that tartan.

Check the mentioned color of the USBs in that server to see if it is the right one.
