Whoever sleeps in this room is not one for clutter.
There’s a bed. A chair. A wardrobe. A polished desk, almost clear but for a lamp and a pile of neatly stacked papers.
Searching a few drawers of the desk for clues, you find a dusty metal box. Inside, on a black velvet pad, is a highly-prized military medal. You are immediately overcome with an immeasurable respect for its owner.
And then you notice the book collection beneath the bedside table. It’s a pile of novels about dental hygienist-turned-detective Ethel McHaggard. ‘Tooth for a tooth’, ‘The Tooth Hurts’… The sort of trash you buy at a sys’port and leave in the book-swap corner of a Sys’BnB.

Loaded Gum
You flick through ‘Nothing but the Tooth’. The writing is excruciating.

As you discard the book, you notice a scrap of paper protruding from underneath the bed. It reminds you of something in the Base Journal.
What’s the word?
Falconer’s Survival Kit
Inside the wardrobe is a military uniform, and a parade of well-ironed, plain t-shirts and trousers. Beneath the hanging items is a large, rugged Martian red-orange camo backpack.
Tucked beside the backpack is a folder containing five photographs, labelled ‘Monday’ to ‘Friday’.
At first glance it seems to be the same assortment of items in each photo. But when you take a closer look…
What’s the number?
Have you worked out the eight-letter word code and the eight-digit number code?
Write down the word code next to the name ‘Falconer’. You’ll need all four word codes, and the names of each team member, later.
