Let the hunt begin.
"oh hello there :3" my friend and I have noticed something peculiar about the emergency protocol 1 permissions, would love some help with 01092020 ;)

So with the site working I will begin updating this with our findings, if you ever want this taken down please let me know, or you can just remove it yourself. Feel free to let us know if we are on the right track!

So after some digging this is what I have...
~ 뮺~ 뮻~ 㺺N~΅θponM]MʹN den M 㮅 ʹ^~ NN N ぽ^ ㎻
人뻻~ 䀀~den
This is the case.
What is it?
yN^띴~>ral NNnN}띴~^~N랂-nN

According to Google Translate it's mostly Korean, but bits and pieces come out as German and sometimes Weish, and I'm afraid I'm not fluent in any of those, I'll see about some other things and come back to this later perhaps...

Status update:
~뮺~뮻~뾺N޺~΅޺θ뽴M]MʹN덴M뮅޻ʹ^~NNNހ뾽^뎻
The following is a summary of the discussions that took place during the period under consideration.
This is the case.
What is it?
yN^띴~>랄NNnN}띴~^~N랂-nNބ

This is as much as I can get with my limited knowledge and translators... seem's I'm missing the most important pieces... any help is greatly appreciated!

Did you think i would make a hunt just to take down the only try so far?
Challenge accepted man
Also, where did you get that translation? Make sure to include ALL the details

Sorry didn't know if I could go into detail about it or whether I should be vague XD For those who wish to help the following is the exact steps I took to uncover the hunt, but I urge you to try and find it yourself because it is a fun challenge! However the following is the solution so far: Using the final change log message from Septermber 1st the Emergency Protocol 1 string ending with the = sign is a base 64 encoding. So using a base 64 decoder, which you can google, you will get a url to a site. The dirrect link doesn't quite work but removing the url until you get to .com will get the page to load, which is the TARDIS control panel. From there the only thing that is functioning is the logs. If you go to 01092020.txt you will see that the TARDIS is detecting and update to the "core" which I presume is the TARDIS rewrite. It then says that it is receiving new bytes. This massive string of numbers and letters is again an encoded text entry. Decoding it with several different decoders will reveal multiple clues/possible solutions. The first is lines of what I believe is Korean, Polish, and Chinese using base64 decoder again. The second is the following text using base16 decoder
"sgffsdfgsdkjgf oifsghoifhdg o h sd foigh ofsjpf dkdpfijgiofdgj ifdgsi;fd;ijsfd ijg546gh6fd4j65fgj4f5g
654j56gfd4j4fd5g65f jg46f54 fhg6d04h6f 5g465g4hf5g6dh8d6f rty68st4r

Update comment: why are is the cloister bell ringing?"

The above string of what looks like gibberish is definitely something, I have yet to figure out what though...
This is as far as I have gotten but the site appears to be updating over time. Any other findings I will continue to document them here, and with any luck we can fix the core and gain access to the TARDIS's other systems. Above is the most recent translation attempt, if anyone can fill in the blanks don't hesitate to do so!

Alright so throwing that Gibberish into a text to hex machine will get you, well more gibberish, but with numbers! Throwing those numbers into base 64 decoder will get you what appears to be... more other languages I cannot read, which goes like this
"~뮺~뮻~뾺N޺~΅޺θ뽴M]MʹN덴M뮅޻ʹ^~NNNހ뾽^뎻
޺뎻~ހ~덴ހߍ뾼߮
ߞ뾀ߎߞ
ߝ
߮뮸ߎߎߞN߮ߝNλ߮M뭴ߞߍߞߎ뎼θ߮N߭~ߎ"
The keen eyed of you will notice this is the exact same message as the base 64 decoder gave when doing the bytes string, so I am back at square one...

Alright new message came in on the site, seems the good Doctor is trying to get some things operational, newest log has mention of a few key things such as the UI being partly functional and being set to basic mode. More importantly, new Bytes in the form of a hexadecimal code. Decoded it reads "I'm trying to make some systems functional.
I replaced the backup communications module, but you will hear from me soon.
Now i can also mess with some permissions." Good things come to those who wait it seems.
