My Code Pen-Pal

I guess my mysterious acquaintance was serious about putting this together because the amount of time they put into this is impressive. Not only did they put another code into the book mentioned in the last one, but they took they time to write out an Ottendorf Cipher. I've done that once before and it takes serious time to go through a book (without the aid of a computer) to find the exact words you're looking for.

Anyways, I was given a name: Mallory, and a few other words: followed, final, project, and bug. I have no clue what these mean, I tried to see if it was another author but nothing came up in the library search. With "final" and "project" it could be referring to a thesis project that a student did and maybe that's the next step. I know the library has some projects here and I'm sure there are a bunch of sites that work is put into. I'll ask one of my professors about it, maybe they'd know where to look. Or maybe they might know the student? The books that I've been looking at haven't been checked out in a few years so I don't really have a known timeframe. Eh, that'll be a tomorrow problem. Tonight I'm going to try and read through the rest of those eBooks.
