Vio walked up and slugged the owner in the face, before forcing them down and proceeding to hammer their head until they fell unconscious. She then wiped her hands off on the owner's clothes, before making a cup of coffee for herself and drinking.
She looked over at Cornelia, peaked around the counter to try and see what she was reading.
[i]"Whatcha got there?"[/i] She asked curiously.

[b]Cornelia stared at her with a disturbed face for a moment.[/b] "Just a note from some colleagues...." [b]On the note, it read out:[/b] AAVA XDVF FAFF XAVD AAF GGA FFDD ADVX
-
[i]"Ew, code. Ugh. I was in this one program when I was still in school–y'know, the kind for 'gifted kids'? Bullshit, in my opinion, I was too stupid for the program, but anyways. They had one project where we had to decode a bunch of messages to find a fictional murderer. I hated every last moment of it... partly cause it was boring, partly because I was the second to last one to finish. Then again, I didn't have a partner, like the rest of them, but still...."[/i] She shuddered slightly, before looking back at the note. [i]"You got any idea what it means?"[/i]
-
"Not a clue, but I do know it is an ADFGVX cipher. Very hard to solve without a key..." [b]It was obvious she didn't have one yet.[/b]
-
[i]"ADFGVX cipher? Have fun decrypting that...."[/i] Vio took a closer look at the note, racking her brain, before sighing. [i]"No keywords, nothing to help make a key... man, I don't have the brain power for this."[/i]
-
"I'm sure there's a key somewhere, just have to look hard enough..." [b]She held the note up to the light, but to no avail.[/b] "It is starting to get frustrating though..."
-
[i]"Invisible ink, maybe? Try shining a UV light on it, or doing that trick with lemon juice or whatever."[/i] Vio shrugged, taking a sip from her coffee.
-
"Maybe... Cyber, run UV for me..." [b]It looked like she was talking to herself before a small light flashed out of a robotic piece. It floated by her head, illuminating the paper in a purple glow. A silhouette of the submarine she pulled it out of showed through the paper.[/b]
-
Vio looked closely at the note, now shined in UV light. [i]"... see anything?"[/i] She asked, unsure if she was missing something or not.
-
"Well the submarine, but I don't know why that, they never hide things in the subs, they just store cargo and notes..." [b]She leaned back thinking about it.[/b] "I guess I might have to go back and see..."
