First, I want to say I completely understand the initial reply. There are game mechanics in place, and in the excitement of new information they were overlooked. That was bad on me. Adding a note along the lines of 'translating or otherwise researching X plot point will be available in the future' when it's used as a reward for a plot in game could be an option to drive home that it's not an item for current investigation? Not that I'm saying this was on you guys, just that it might help haul in the kind of excessive enthusiasm I'll admit I fell for in the plot. I also wanted to note, though, that Clark's IC reward was the key to cracking the code- they could not have done it without him!
While I am VERY EXCITED for new information, very legitimate reasons for why cracking shouldn't happen ICly were laid out, so if you would rather leave it as it is then send out a crackable message I would completely understand.
