+Looks like DEADFACE compromised a machine and left this cryptic calling card:
+
+```
+checkmate. nZ3ipU8_yy3p5_hvyKi0
+```
+
+One of our other analysts also found this image that we believe is tied to this calling card.

+One of the junior DEADFACE members left a number puzzle to decipher a 3-digit number combination. Do you have the skills to solve the puzzle and open the lock? Follow the clues to decipher the 3-digit code needed to "pick" the lock. Enter the code as 3 digits, no spaces or other separating characters.

+One of the faculty at Night Veil University thought it would be clever to write sensitive information on notes by their computer. This sensitive information includes a very easy-to-decipher password hint. Judging by the drawing of a dog on the photo, we assume the password hint is the name of the individual's dog.
+
+Submit the flag with the dog's name as: `deadface{dog&#39;s name}`

+ZeroTrace recovered several files from a DEADFACE relay server shortly before the host went offline. The relay appears to have been used by mort1cia to exchange operational messages with other DEADFACE members.
+
+One routine transmission was preserved both before and after processing by the relay. A second outbound transmission was recovered only in its processed form.
+
+Determine what DEADFACE was preparing to do next and recover the flag.
