X marks the spot

This was is a bit confusing so I decided to make a separate post instead of appending it to the already long "Catching Up" Post.

In the case that phil received he got two "press releases", one that was coded, and one that was in plain English.

In order to get the message you must find all the "X"s, and record their coordinating letter in the English press release in the order they appear.

So, for example, the first "X" that appears is the last letter of the first word on the coded press release.

So you would then you would write down the last letter of the first word in the English press release, which is "S".

If you keep it up you'll get a clear message pointing you in the direction of the first clue.

Deciphering the code is pretty simple, but as far as I know right now, it only applies to the "X"s in the code.
