This (loosely) follows on from my first puzzle: Master Bomb Defusers
It has been nearly a year since you last heard from the infamous "Mr. 5" and you've discovered there's only so long you can scroll through a puzzle website while pretending to work before you get the itch to create your own mystery.
Maybe that's why supervillains create such elaborate, but fragile, plans? They don't really want to destroy the world or obtain global domination, they're just bored and looking for a fix.
Is hoping for the next potential bomb plot somehow immoral? If you hadn't foiled every one so far, I suppose it would be, but what's wrong with a little excitement if it only potentially risks tens of thousands of lives?
Looking for a way to occupy your mental faculties, you grab the top file off your desk to re-read it for the hundredth time. Ah yes, the "interrogation" of your inside informant, who helped catch Mr. 5's right-hand man (he could be left-handed, but odds are against that).
== Evidentiary Transcript - Date: [REDACTED] ==
[Interrogator]: What have you learned?
[REDACTED]: There are ten working for him, spread all over the world.
[Interrogator]: These ten?
Evidence articles A-01 to A-10 are placed on the table
[REDACTED]: Yes, them.
[Interrogator]: What can you tell me about each of them?[REDACTED]: I can't say their names, but this one {Evidence article A-01} had a deep voice when we spoke on the phone.
[Interrogator]: What of this one? {points to evidence article A-02}
[REDACTED]: This one seemed to be active across a great number of networks. They always left a calling card on their victims that read, "Here be those brought back to life".
[REDACTED] motions to evidence articles A-03 and A-04
[REDACTED]: I think this one wanted help with putting up shelves? They had lovely golden hair. The other one reminded me of candy though. An attention-seeking candy if urban rumours are to be believed.
[Interrogator]: Him? {indicates evidence article A-05}
[REDACTED]: I had expected them to be good at algebra, but one side always seemed bigger.
[REDACTED] grabs evidence article A-06
[REDACTED]: This one was older than 25. Kind of 26, but more like 25 + 1. He seemed really enthusiastic too.
[Interrogator]: How would you describe this one? {indicating evidence article A-07}
[REDACTED]: A six-sided dice? No, not dice. Flat dice? Six, one-sided flat dice.
[REDACTED] motions toward evidence article A-08
[REDACTED]: They aren't the leader, but they'll definitely be there at the end. By the sound of it, they'll be the end of the hero too.
[Interrogator] picks up evidence article A-09
[Interrogator]: What do you think of this one?
[REDACTED]: I judged them at first, but then I learnt they could almost drink backwards!
[REDACTED] visibly reacts to evidence article A-10
[REDACTED]: Jeez, that name nearly made me jump! I'm just glad you weren't there.
[Interrogator]: So these 10 are all affiliated with Mr. 5's co-conspirator?
[REDACTED]: I have no doubts.
[Interrogator]: Did you learn the name of the co-conspirator?
[REDACTED]: I'm sorry....
[Interrogator]: What do you mean?
[REDACTED] grabs a piece of paper and writes "If I talk they can adopt a worse qɯoq purpose" on it
[Interrogator]: You're safe here, we have the whole building under protection.
[REDACTED]: His name is... [REDACTED]== END SESSION ==
== Summary Report ==
The name of the co-conspirator, [REDACTED] acted as the trigger for a small explosive device which had been surgically placed inside [REDACTED]. The resulting explosion, which occurred at [REDACTED], killed [REDACTED] agents and an additional 73 civilians.
== END SUMMARY ==
You sigh as you put the file back down on your desk....
If only you'd been there, it had taken a mere 11 seconds to deduce the name of co-conspirator....
What is the name of co-conspirator?
Hint 1
All ten are fairly prolific PSE users. They all have at least 3,000 reputation and 1 gold badge
Hint 2
A-03 was probably misheard when they mentioned shelves
Hint 3
Perhaps A-06 has evolved in some way?
