We intercepted this message today. It is very interesting as it is not what we thought it was. Looks like another job for Cyber Chef

Dear Quorum, 
  The following was picked up off of the LEO in charge of investigating the incident. While the incident has gone up to higher authorities, the originator is being kept in the loop. It was found with the picture of a baby panda sleeping. We believe this is a clue to the passkey for what we believe to be a Vigenere Cipher, or other form of polyalphabetic substitution. Maybe the passkey isn't panda, but something else, relating to the picture. Knowing the target though, I doubt it is anything complex.

Another message was captured! This one is not like the others though. Maybe that Chef program can shed some light on this with it's MAGIC. Speaking of Chef, I would love some BACON wrapped Jalapeno poppers!

We captured this byte sequence, which looks like a message of some kind. We are not sure how to decode it, though we were told we could use something called Cyber Chef.  (https://gchq.github.io/CyberChef/).

Our team has captured something, and it looks like someone has put a hex on this message and doubly encrypted it, but we can't say for sure. The chain of numbers looks familiar but we're hoping that you can help us unwrap the layers of this code.

We have discovered a communication between two parties that looks like a mish mosh of letters and numbers. But wait there appears to be two equals signs at the end of the message........hmm I wonder what that could possibly mean.
