[INCOMING TRANSMISSION]
Before the Tidelord went missing He left us his last store of prophecy bubbles.
Many have gotten lost in the currents or popped by an unwitting passerby.
But still more have gotten corrupted by the Depths.
This corruption could destabilize the strings of time and fate.
We cannot help you, for Water magic will only make things worse.
Please, help us track these corrupted prophecy bubbles down and reverse the growing darkness.
For all our sakes.
[END TRANSMISSION]

What is this?
Five key prophecies have gone missing, and their corrupted scraps have been flung asunder into the unforgiving Sea! Water flight technicians have determined that they will surface in six key locations over the next two weeks:
- The Hub
- Clairvoyage
- Into the Undertow
- Dreamrescue Dive
- Momma Kyuth's Fortune Cookies
- Tidepool Scavenging

Coded messages will either be posted directly in these above threads or PMed randomly to participants in these activities with a link to this thread and a strong encouragement to post here. Finders of prophecies who post their discoveries for everybody will earn an exclusive badge.
Anyone who posts here who tries to help solve the coded messages will earn (a different) exclusive badge and also... you know, will help save the world!

I think I have all the posts I need, so you can leave them, but as I'm not quite done setting up the OP yet I'd like to ask you all to refrain from posting further until I notify you :)

The linked post (by GryffonJoi) is not a part of Corrupted Prophecies but is instead just a thematic message. You can tell because it's not in the CP format (as seen in the OP) and is not in one of the six threads listed in the OP!
