NOTE FOR PUZZLE SOLVERS:
The book cipher coordinates in record RL-2233 reference this document:
P3L7W2  = Page 3, Line 7, Word 2  = "PROTOCOL"
P5L2W4  = Page 5, Line 2, Word 4  = "R"
P1L1W6  = Page 1, Line 1, Word 6  = "0" (zero — Continuity uses zero not O)
P4L9W3  = Page 4, Line 9, Word 3  = "T"
P6L2W1  = Page 6, Line 2, Word 1  = "COL7"

Combined, treating "0" as digit: PR0TOCOL7

This is the internal system passphrase.
You're welcome.
— T.K. (added this note in 2023 when the archive told me someone would need it)
