A friends Brother recently died and this was his. Any helping solving it would be greatly appreciated. Not sure which way it’s to be read and can’t tell where spaces should be. Thanks
My friend and I are trying to figure out what this says. It is from the new Eidola music video "Damballah". Any help would be awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JS0brxW460&list=RD6JS0brxW460&start_radio=1

I don't really have much experience with codebreaking, but I was playing a Pokémon Mystery Dungeon romhack called MysteryMail 6: Agents of Chaos, and on the Exploration Branch scene 8, the following code appeared. Apparently it is solvable by itself but I have not really touched ciphers before.
The cipher reads as follows:
Ckwyoyjyq'g rteza.
Sndi?
Pr'eu zeb bzbpwenm jz wi cxgs.
SISK? Fli men?
Gsuuw te.
Bbsr, prq yzmd't vzuyztu da zcx nr gnmyvhe? Otslyk Uqwtvow Jyyslblb Qcdrvprkk?
Aprpe qanz.
Sb. If cn.
Fdi.
Vxh. Zbrv fmx. Xjmkyb CAEOO zdpu gjia zwqns ddhx uxxcqhku, gkbki?
Xq fjhl sj dhcdp.
My best guess for clues in the cipher is that the phrase CAEOO means DECOI and SISK means IKEA but those are just my best guesses. I tried the Vigenére cipher but I don't think it works. Also, if you do figure out the solution, can you explain your chain of thought for how you figured it out? I want to learn how to potentially solve ciphers by myself.
(The hack can be found at https://hacks.skytemple.org/h/mm_agentsofchaos )
Edit: Someone who has already solved it apparently said the following line:
(it's sorta a combination of certain existing ciphers, but he did some things that i don't think have ever been done before)
If someone can confirm that there isn't enough information for this cipher to be solved, please let me know. Apparently you need at least a paragraph or something.
Edit 2: The cipher's name is apparently HandBrain 3.0. That recontextualizes what the miscallaneous Italicized words mean, and that apparently you were supposed to do HandBrain 2.0 to do it realistically? I'm going to ask where the heck that puzzle is.
Edit 3: The creator said:
>The first bits are easiest of H 3.0
>The rest is. A lot more complex
>Vagueposting spoiler: As the flywheel turns...
Also apparently Handbrain 1.0 and 2.0 were just drafts that the creator made in some CS class finals, which absolutely do not help. I'm going to read up on cipher literature and see if that helps.
Edit 4: I found Handbrain 1.0 and 2.0. Handbrain 1.0 was a simple substitution cipher with key of LYRXACVBHNMJIUQKOSZDGTPEFW but I couldn't figure out Handbrain 2.0. (Handbrain 2.0 is like an easier version they gave me for sympathy because I have been working on this for like forever)
(This is Handbrain 2.0)

I've been reading the General Report on Tunny while learning how the Lorenz SZ42 worked... and I've built a little hand-cranked model of just the five chi wheels (41, 31, 29, 26 and 23 cams).
With the psi and motor wheels gone, the key stream is just the chi stream, so the period is the product of those five numbers. That seems huge on paper, but each bit stream on its own repeats very quickly.
How would you attack a chi-only machine in practice? Is it basically trivial once you have a bit of depth, or is there more to it than that? I'd love to understand why the psi wheels mattered so much!!
try to decode/solve this if you can
I am a member of Gastein74 research collective. For the past 7 years, we have been researching everything related to the Bad Gastein Kur- and Kongresshaus, designed by architect Gerhard Garstenauer in 1974. The building is a one-of-a-kind architectural landmark, with a unique design both inside and out.
For years, we’ve wondered why the lights on this building’s facade are arranged so irregularly, but we never pursued the question further. Last night, a former student of the building’s architect told us that one or more words are supposed to be written here in Morse code or some similar kind of code! Since then, we’ve been puzzling over it and haven’t made any progress.
What we know:
In the first photo, you can see the lamps in real life; in the second photo, I’ve marked them in red for better visibility. And then there's a photo of the blueprint, but in it the lights seem to be arranged differently than in reality.
Can you help us? We’d be very grateful!
