Lost and Found

by Selective scifi junkie

Might they have seen this man before? Set early in series 6, so team consists of Adam, Ros, Jo, Connie and Malcolm. The T is for strong violence, more is discussed and implied than seen. Details inside.

Two days later, Jo followed Adam out of morning briefing and caught his arm.

"Adam, is there a way I can get a note to Zaf reasonably privately?"

"Well who do you not want to see it?"

"There's no one specific, I just want to ask him something."

"His mail might get opened at Truro, but they probably wouldn't bother to decode anything. Just use a Caesar shift, that'll put off anyone who's just looking, but it won't hold a codebreaker off for five minutes, so don't put anything sensitive in there."

"Caesar shift?"

"Caesar Cipher." She looked at him blankly. "Do they not teach elementary coding any more?" She shook her head.

"They said we're better off leaving that to analysts and technicians."

"Not even the really basic stuff?" She shook her head. "It's really not hard. Google it. Or pass it to me and I'll write it in Arabic."
