`spookyboi` handled decryption for the crew and kept notes on the rest of the team. One of them: the DEADFACE second-in-command, `mort1cia` — who, apparently, *still* hasn't changed her password, and reuses the same personal one everywhere.

mort1cia has a past, and it was exposed elsewhere. Track down the password she's been assigned, become her, and read the flag.

Recover `mort1cia`'s password, become that user, and read her flag.

Submit as `deadface{...}`.
