Hey Sharp,
Hope you liked this puzzle! I've been looking forward to sending it. How long did it take you? Probably like thirty seconds, huh? I'll have to step up my game once I get back.
I wish I could send more, but I'm not supposed to contact Citadel while I'm on Earth leave. It's pretty lonely up here in the mountains. I keep thinking about you, wondering if you're doing alright by yourself.
Listen, if Grey's been giving you a hard time just remember: you're a good kid. What anyone else might think doesn't matter. I know you, Sharp. You're going to do great things and change that place for the better. I'm sure of it.
Anyway, I've gotta get back to work. Those souls won't study themselves. Can't wait to see you again.
Theo

One of these images will help you find the message. The other will lead you astray.
Use this and your previous answers to figure out where the message is hidden.
very curious! I think I got the first two right...the third one is strange, Are the pictures supposed to link somewhere? or is all the information we need right there in the image to be decoded? I tried other answers and realized I was correct the first time around, but I'm still uncertain about the final challenge. Super clever concept, though! <3

There is no need to follow any external links (I only left the image links in because adding "nolink" broke the spoiler). You've probably figured out that the spoiler heading is a hint. Try and keep it in mind when trying to figure out what in the images you should be paying attention to. Also this has helped me realise I should make the text in that section a bit clearer, so thank you!
lol ooooo I got it! that was quite a challenge but I'm sure it did only take Sharp thirty seconds ;)
