Thanks to a valiant effort by a community of code-breakers, the robot codes have been cracked, even as the robots switched communications protocol to make decryption harder.

“We owe these clever people a great deal”, Major Jenny Carramone says. “They’ve cracked the code just for the challenge of it, and they have given the CDF a peek inside the minds of the robots. that have been invaluable to us. I would like to express my gratitude to each and everyone of them. They may very well have won the war.”

However, Major Carramone still has concerns about cracking the code on a public forum. “They know that we know” she says, “and the code has evolved all the time. I fear that pretty soon, we won’t be able to read their code.”
