Had a lot of fun solving the final puzzle. Now I know about ADFGX ciphers! The key was "AIRDROPS" and it was hidden in the puzzle messages (check for unexpectedly capitalised letters).

I've never used this website for this but let's try: I'm on the lookout for full-time positions. The more research it involves the better. Open to both industrial and academic positions. If you know of good openings, my DMs are open, and I'll send my CV! PS: I'm on an O1-A visa.
