I found an encrypted clue in The Tsoo Shenanigans' story arc.

Has anyone ever decrypted this thing? The clue doesn't seem to be very crucial, since I can complete the arc just fine without solving the clue.

It is probably gibberish due to the fact that the insertion of a numeric string only once (97) means its not a substitution system as there would be more numbers.

They probably did not actually bother encrypting it and put in jibberish. However the Wiki reveals in the Mission Text what it says.

 

Virginia Hoffman radios you...

Do you copy? It's Virginia Hoffman. I got that note decoded. It seems the Tsoo are using that Rage drug to poison the Trolls! The note you found reveals the location of their Rage lab. We need you to get over there and shut it down. Virginia Hoffman over and out.

It looks like something in Cyrillic, which leads to "In Soviet Russia, Car Warranty Reaches YOU."

it means cut back on the illicit substances just a tad

Hey now, they're getting less-illicit every day.  We're probably only 100 years from them being 100% street licit.

I got it.

 

The Tsoo used a substitution cipher. Just for fun, try to decipher the message yourself. 

 

The key word to the cipher system (spoiler):
 

Spoiler

 

Plain a b c d e f g h i k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
Cipher S E C O N D K Y A F G H I J L M P Q R T U V W X Z

 

(SECOND KEY)

 

The message:

Spoiler

The rage labs at our front company of Toshiro Engineering are operating at 97 capacity. We ask that more synthesizers be added so we can increase production.

Not Tsoon.

 

I am disappoint.

 

Ditto. The cipher key does not contain "TSOO." I am disappointed, tsoo.
