Yes, Lave please use rot 13 to cypher the readable spoilers and edit the mail with the encrypted spoiler.

Whell I must say there is a lot of languages here I dont speak at all but nevertheless. Its not like the nova mission in Galaxy 1 this was easy to escape from when you have a Intergalactic drive but helas I do not have that one at the moment It is the combination of no fuel, no possibility to get fuel neither, from the station and of course not from the sun which is going to nova and not the posession of a Galactic drive which in my humble opinion makes this puzzle a bit impossible to solve. I only got away by saying that I did not want to help those poor people and got away only just in time one second longer in that system and I would have been burned to ashes
Is there a way to be able too read the cryptic language in some of the posts above or do I have to stay in the dark at those words? For now I decided to Ignore the message I received being a coward and all that. its useless to give up your live for nothing is my opinion

Edited for clarity:

rot13

/rot ther'teen/ [Usenet: from "rotate alphabet 13 places"], v. The simple Caesar-cypher encryption that replaces each English letter with the one 13 places forward or back along the alphabet, so that "The butler did it!" becomes "Gur ohgyre qvq vg!" Most Usenet news reading and posting programs include a rot13 feature. It is used to enclose the text in a sealed wrapper that the reader must choose to open - e.g. for posting things that might offend some readers, or spoilers. A major advantage of rot13 over rot(N) for other N is that it is self-inverse, so the same code can be used for encoding and decoding.

Something is wrong. The Nova mission does not start in Galaxy 1.

Hi JvdP... to clarify, copy and paste the 'nonsense' messages into the site CheeseRedux has linked to, and hit 'Cypher'.

Hi Jorge van den Poem

IIRC I think you should have received messages before the Nova, one of which suggests that you need a Galactic hyperdrive, or is that The Constrictor?
