i'm starting to wonder if the binary message does in fact have any more value at this point. of all the clues the binary message was the only one given to us by FDev rather than something in game which adds a level of ambiguity to its origin and when it was sent. there is also the fact that it has been solved - a clue that led to another clue.
from carvers log dated 10, 20, 3111 she transmitted an encrypted message regarding the geo teams findings to azimuth. the binary message could be that message.
the encrypted log from the LP however, should only be controllable by the entity that placed it there. namely azimuth.
so why would carver send an encrypted message on the 20th, before she knew the adamastor would be deployed, which contained a secret key to decrypt a log from a listening post she doesn't know exists?
if the binary message was the one sent on the 20th then i think we are done with the binary code. if the message was sent after the geo teams encounter with the adamastor then it may still be relevant.
if the binary code is no longer relevant then another clue is needed to decode the log.
here is the other thing that is nagging at me. what is left to find? we already know a lot:
10/13: a geo team commissioned by azimuth identifies an odd signal in the coalsack nebula and discovers a thargoid site complete with barnacles and a crashed thargoid ship.
10/20: they extract something from the crashed ship, presumably a thargoid sensor, attempt to secure it then notify azimuth of their findings.
10/26: the adamastor sets sail.
10/27: azimuth orders the geo team to cease all transmissions and notifies the team the adamastor is in route.
10/29: the adamastor reaches a listening post which redirects them to the geo team in the coalsack nebula.
10/30: the adamastor reaches the geo team securing the sample and destroying the comms array at the camp. in concert a thargoid ship descends on the camp and all hell breaks loose. the adamastor takes off with half the geo team along with half their compliment of mercs leaving poor murphy to stare at rocks for the rest of his life.
10/31: the adamastor experiences systems failures prompting carver and her crew to abandon ship
sometime later carver's sidwinder parks face first in the dirt and the adamastor, having never recovered from her injuries, limps back home to azimuth.
so then what do we expect the encrypted log to tell us? where the adamastor was redirected to? we know where. what their orders were? we can see the fruits of their orders from carver's and murphy's log.
my brain hurts...
