Just a few hours after my last post, the IRC code was solved. Turns out it WAS a one-time pad, and the input the cipher was based on is a quote by Giordano Bruno:
"It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the
masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth
does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the
people."
And the message, decoded by pointless:
This is a message left for Dr. Horn. Just to remind you in case of
emergencies that the password to the HALOS files is BENALOHPAILLIER. I
have programmed HALOS to send in level seven cases. You should bring
pizzas.
Therefore, we have the password and a potential username. Now all that's left to do is discover how to get into the BMRF site or find another related site . . . .
