Before we dive into this month’s mystery, a big congratulations to Demi Puente, Iron Bow’s General Manager for Commercial, for being the first to crack the Ghost Code on Grid-9 from last month's issue!
The correct answer? D) Legacy Systems. Well done, Demi—and welcome to the winner’s circle!
Now, Iron Bear’s latest mission may be his strangest yet…
A cryptic signal is pulsing from Nebula Outpost 12, a deep-space research station orbiting near a cosmic rift. The outpost has gone completely silent. No crew. No logs. Just one eerie message looping from the comms array:
"We are not alone."
The station is intact—but cold. Its systems wiped. Sensors show faint traces of unknown energy patterns—unlike anything in the database. Is this the work of a new kind of cyberattack? Or has Iron Bear just stumbled into first contact?
To get answers, he’ll need your help—and your cybersecurity savvy.
