The acrostic answers' initial letters spell IT'S THE OLD BAIT AND SWITCH and the flavor text mentions "dubbing over previous work". The red acrostic answers can be modified by changing every letter with a number of 100 or below for a letter on that space of the spiral grid. Each new answer is associated with a number and those numbers from the spiral grid spell the answer LIBRAN.
