Talk:Code Book

General use codes - not to be complicated. The people supposedly reading these wall scrawlings are not brainiacs and the messages not some super secret. just a mass communication of some temporary information  "Attack Finks Barge This Tuesday at Dawn"  and such. Mass usage mean distributing a page or slip of paper containg the cypher to make it easier to eat if captured. No need for a book (everyone else involved would need THAT 'book' to communicate).

Finding the temporary cypher could have been exactly the same for plot  without this 'book' stuff.

Ditto Elizabeth just happening to  be 'bored' in her captivity and studying cyphers and codes (or worse theoretical  lockpicking by 'book' without real locks to work on).
